[ESPN] Sources: Aldridge to start free agency with Lakers, Rockets

LMA has had exactly one good series in the playoffs.

 

Yes you do. Aldridge wasn't close to 100% this year's playoffs. Did you forget

 

Plus, how's he going to fare when he has to play for the Houston Rockets instead of against us. No more torching us for 30 points with jumpers to pad his season out...

 

I know he had that hand injury but he only missed like a few games in the regular season. How does that prove he's trustworthy in the playoffs? He looked ineffective against the Spurs last year. Before the Rockets series it was a bunch of 1st round exits.

 

Wouldn't be the same next to Howard and Harden.

 

Did you forget that Aldridge has a career playoff PER below 20, TS% below .500 and WS/48 below .100 while leaving the first round once? At the age of 25, Harden has had much more playoff success than Aldridge at the age of 30.

 

LMA won't be the #1 option... Teams won't be able to focus on him with the Rockets, so its pointless to discuss his past performances.

 

any chance he eventually stays in portland? just a thought.

 

Explain to me how Leonard is underrated. Dude only holds the guy he's guarding to 0.4% lower FG% during the regular season and gets the Defensive Player of the Year handed to him. In the playoffs, the guy he was guarding shot 6.4% higher. Is not adept at creating his own shot, can't create for others, and only shoots 35% from three. Yeah, you're right - he was cheated out of the MVP award. So overrated.

 

Doubt it

Every time the argument turns in the wrong direction, you guys always come with some crazy per analytics stat lol.

Bottom line, 3 years in Houston and Harden still hasn't had his signature playoff series. Hes had a few good playoff games, but hasn't dominated a whole series. LMA has proven, when healthy, he can single handedly take over a series. Playoff wise:


LMA>>>>>>>Harden

 

lmfao harden dominated the Spurs in the wcf off the bench. Aldridge hasn't won a playoff game since the lillard shot.

 

If you're going to troll, at least TRY to be effective with it. This is just lazy. C'mon son! I know you can do better!

 

It took Lebron at least 3 years to figure it out in the playoffs as well and he is generally regarded as a legend. Cut the guy some slack - his team of non-shot creators and injuries got to the WCF- that's significant.

 

Geezus dude

His signature series is the one that got us to the WCF - something that no other Rocket has been able to do in damm near 20 years.

LMA has been in the league a decade and only 1 series win. Only thing he's proven is that he dominated 1 series because the 1 coach who didn't know WTF he was doing

 

LOL woot?? Harden >>>> LMA and it's not even close. Harden has only been a starter for 3 years and has got this (injured) Houston team to the WCF. Harden was pretty damn dominant these past playoffs and even as a bench player for OKC had a few series where he was a major reason the Thunder advanced.

Funny you'd say that LMA can take over a series by himself, when really he has only done this once - last year - against Houston. Other than that POR with LMA has never won a playoff series.

 

Why does LMA live in LA in the off-season with a son in SA? Now SA's zip code is supposed to be a factor....

Hard to imagine SA not being his choice with their recent history, but the Rox have a better 5-6 year outlook.

Maybe the reason D12 hasn't hustled back from Down Under is because he wants his buddy Josh Smith back in the fold?

I'm happy with D Stuckey and the new Euro flash in the pan. Let Bev go get rich in NY; he's worked for it.

 

New Euro flash? Did we sign someone?

 

I think you missed the fact that Llull is not coming to the NBA anymore
