He has no idea. He said he has no sources in Houston. He said HOU has a 75% chance at LMA and SA has a 90% chance at him. (LOL WTF?) He has no idea.
a couple seasons ago there was some rumor about LMA wanting to come play in HOU. maybe it was at the all-star game? anyone remember details?
Wildcard - can Harden pull LMA aside and tell him that Durant is coming? To what extent is that true, and if true or legit possibility, to what extent can Harden say it. Double wildcard - if LMA wants to be the man, is Durant negative or positive?
Bosh HAS been a far better player than Aldridge, but he is much more expensive and who knows how each respective player will age going forward.
It was the All-Star game in Houston (before Howard came). Someone asked what he thought of Houston since we were a surprise team with Harden. LMA said that he really liked what was happening in Houston. People kinda took that to him saying "TRADE ME TO HOUSTON!!"
Miami can S&T Wade to the Lakers or Knicks and use that outgoing salary to receive Aldridge in his own S&T. I guess Whiteside could go to Portland for the help. Dragic Winslow Deng LMA Bosh Chalmers, McRoberts, Anderson and vet mins to fill out the bench. Of course, one would question why Wade would help Riley in this scenario or why LMA would go to a team dumping its "lifer."
Woj: LaMarcus is allowing the Lakers to come back in and re-pitch him. First one didn't go well. They'll come in and talk today. Too much outside of basketball the first time. Kupchak will talk to Aldridge again. This is Aldridge being charitable. They don't have to explain how they'll win in SA. We'll just plug you in. The Suns are right there shoulder to shoulder with the Spurs. Signing Tyson, intrigued with their young core, Suns are in this for Aldridge.
I believe a clutchfans member met Aldridge at a Academy sports and outdoors autograph signing during the all star break here in Houston. Fan said he should come to Houston. Aldridge agreed and said he really likes what the rockets are doing.
