Report: Trailblazers open to trading LaMarcus Aldridge

[Fresno]

During the Blazers’ recent homestand, a respected and veteran beat reporter approached me and told me that an assistant coach for the team he covered said the Blazers are shopping LaMarcus Aldridge.

Olshey said he has made zero calls to other teams about Aldridge. He did say he has fielded one inquiry from another team, but it was more exploratory in nature, that team feeling the Blazers out. And he said he has no plans to make any future calls about Aldridge as February approaches.

Have to look through the smokescreen, this is the same GM who lied and told Eric Gordon that he & Blake Griffin were the core of the Clippers only to trade Gordon in the middle of the night to the Hornets.

So what would be the best fit for Aldridge? Best deal for Portland?

jefferson for aldrige.

Ideal.

Hickson gets to play his more natural Pf position and they get a legit center.

Ideal for Portland, not Utah. Utah has too many PF's to begin with, plus they want to trade Milsap to play Favors. As good as Aldrige is, I don't see Utah as a fit. They're trying to trade away low post players, not gain some.

he would perfect here in Philly next to Bynum (if he can get on the court).

Thad, Hawes, and one of our wings (Richardson, Young, Wright) preferably Richardson.

Houston!

[Sportfan]

Celtics would be down!


Houston could be a great fit. Would it require Parsons though?

lakers will probably make a call bout Pau, but doesnt make much sense for Blazers.

if LA's defense wasnt suspect and if he were a much better rebounder than bosh, id want him..

however, bosh's mid range is arguably the best among big men in the league, so cant complain too much i guess.

= People who actually thought he was better than Blake

i know man, but bosh's defense and lack of rebounding has been annoying lately.
