The fact that Aldridge doesn't want to be second or third fiddle shows to me that he isn't willing to sacrifice to win a title. That's so lame, as long as you are getting the money who cares.
This is pretty ridiculous. Duncan has been one of the best rim protecting 5's in the league the past few years even at his advanced age even if he wants to call himself a 4. He's a 5 all day every day. This tweet is a steaming pile of homer beat writer trying to get traffic on his Twitter timeline and gather some new followers.
He's not good enough to be the first option. The team they had around him in Portland was GREAT, he won't get a better supporting cast than that while still being the best player.
I think he ends up in Phx. Would they have to trade Bledsoe tho? Thought I read that before the Suns became a legit possibility.

The fact that the Rockets are saying absolutely nothing means they think they are still in it. The second they make a move for a guy like Collison, we know they've moved on.
Wants to play with competent guards Wants to be first option Doesn't want to play center Wants to compete for championships LaMarcus Aldridge is heading to the 2004 Detroit Pistons!
I think he's coming here I know I'm in the minority but it just makes too much sense. Harden is no selfish and LMA I'm confident would see a scoring boost playing in Houston. Harden sucks defenses towards him he dictates the whole game yet is a willing passer I think the analytics show him getting easier opportunities with harden. Not to mention Dwight roaming around for easy lobs and put backs. Morey is so close to designing his monster. Aldridge is a better fit then bosh actually IMO if we land him it might all work itself out.
I have no clue who this guy is he may be good, but Ray Charles can see hes full of ****...I wanna play next to Tyson in phx instead of playing next to a hall of famer and a five time nba championship winner because I don't want to play a lot of five...Get real
