SnT LMA Aldridge shld be our first choice. Drive up the price for SA and Dallas. Portland and Houston are ready for a SnT (Portland traded their only SF...Gee and Wright are FA's). Ariza and Paps are ready to step into those roster slots (or cut Paps $). Terrence is from Portland. Rockets drafted Dekker in preparation for this move. We don't want to SnT with Cleveland (Ariza & others) making them tougher to beat. Then we wait for LMA to finish his tour. If I'm Aldrige it's btw Houston and Lakers (He has a home in LA).
Doubt the Rockets will be Aldridge's first visit. Daryl won't sit around waiting to meet with Aldridge.* He'll meet with someone else. So NOT LaMarcus Aldridge. *Don't take that as he won't meet with him.
If the Rockets keep both of their draft picks, Smith accepts the free agent tender of $2.5M and they use the full MLE on Llull or another player(s), what is the most they could match Patrick Beverly for?
It doesn't matter who he meets first. He always airballs his plan A but nails it on his plan D, E, and F.
