Jorge Castillo Pierce choosing the Clippers is a good indication DAJ is likely to return to Los Angeles. Pierce to LA was seen as tied to Jordan. 6:59pm - 1 Jul 15
If it turns out your uncle's cousin's mother's friend was right, you're going to score some major cred around here. But I'm not holding my breath.
But but they have Brandon Knight and Tyson Chandler! Seriously though, WTH did our team do to the media to get absolutely no recognition.
If Phx gets LMA they will greedily hold on to Bledsoe. They operate much like a Eastern team. They just want to make to playoffs, they don't care if it's only the 8th seed. I'm not sure how getting LMA even helps them. Unless Durant and LMA have some UT connection they plan on using.
Suns can get LMA w/o trading Bledsoe. They have some solid pieces - Len, the better Morris twin, Booker, picks. However, LMA going there is weird because they'd just be equal or worse than the Portland team he would leave.
Stretch indeed. Doesn't add up. That's all. It's whatev. San Antonio Phoenix Portland New York Houston LA Wait and see.
Whatever we can muster up.....I think PHX has to give a little too since they're getting the best player in that situation
Phoenix hype right now feels just like when suddenly the media was hyping golden state in the Dwight sweepstakes
The question was whether I would want him, not whether he is available / likely to be moved. But to your point, I'm a little confused. I keep hearing people say he'd have to be moved for PHX to give LMA the max, but that makes no sense to me given that -- like you said -- he was allegedly part of the pitch.
I haven't seen these posted, but maybe I just missed them: <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">So far, the Spurs most impressed Aldridge, with Houston close behind Waiting on Suns word.

Unless they plan on letting go of all their guys in the bench there is no way they can get LMA while keeping Bledsoe.
@crash, they got buried 200 pages back around a discussion about the Rockets deal with Dunkin Donuts.
