Brillian McD. Just brilliant. Sign Tyson and keep it quiet until the moment you walk into the room with Alderidge. Place maybe the most ideal C in the league for him to play along side of, the utlimate role player, and let him talk.

Our chances are still small, but they just went up.

It was a good move - very clever. I am sure Aldridge was surprised

But like you said, a long shot. But even without LMA - the Suns are a better team with Chandler than Koufos or Wright backing up Len. For one, he is a better mentor. Two, he is a damn good player

So basically McD's strategy for LMA was, "SURPRISE!!"

Dallas would come out nicely if they end up with Jordan and Matthews. If this happens and Chandler isn't signed and traded to the Clips, we could go after Chandler as our vet leader.

Wasn't there also a rumor that Dallas may make an offer to Brandon Knight?

Chandler has been an unapologetic ring-chaser, I see very little chance he comes here barring a big overpay. And even then, he has a well-earned reputation of taking plays and even games off if his heart isn't in it.

Well lets hope you are wrong since he may be overpaid if that's the case.

Well Kings just completed a salary dump deal that sent over Thompson, Landry and Stauskas as the sweetener to the Sixers. I wonder who they are clearing cap space for.

Woj says Rondo and W.Matthews or Ellis.

Too bad, I was hoping that the Sixer would be a potential place to dump the Morrii

I would give Cleveland the Morris idiots for haywoods contract.what do you guys think? Would probably even give Cleveland their pick back too.

We'd be doing them a favor with that deal. They'd get 2 guys on manageable deals who will actually help them. Yes we want cap space but they should also give us a future first at the least.

Well, now they could use a PF, unless they plan on Gay playing PF (probably) or D-Will.

Bargain, they'd have to be happy with that but doesn't change that they're going to suck.

Just posted that Monroe goes to the Bucks for the max.

I bet Melo is extremely happy he chose the Knicks over the Bulls now.

If Aldridge would sign with Suns then that team would be very similar to championship Mavs:
Aldridge=Dirk
Chandler=Chandler
Bledsoe=dumber Kidd
Knight=Terry
Tucker=Marion

We all think that every player's dream is to play for big market team. And when those biggest markets teams have cap space nobody wants to signs with them

Behold "LA to LA, Part 2."

Because no place does sequels to bad movies like Hollywood.

Free agent forward LaMarcus Aldridge made the surprising decision to meet with the Los Angeles Lakers for a second time on Thursday afternoon, only this time he means business – about basketball. Clearly, the Lakers know now, that's how he wanted it in the first place.

It was less than two days ago when Aldridge's free agency frenzy began with an evening meeting in Los Angeles, one that included everyone from Lakers president and governor Jeanie Buss to Kobe Bryant to officials from the AEG company that owns part of the team and the building it plays in. Not counting the reps from AEG and the Time Warner company that telecasts Lakers games (head count unknown), there were eight people in the room with Aldridge and his representatives.

Apparently that was six too many.

2015 NBA free agency: Complete list of free agents

According to a person with knowledge of the meeting, the second session that no one saw coming will include only Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and coach Byron Scott with Aldridge and his representatives. The focus, which is apparently a stark contrast to the first sit-down, will be on the game itself and the question of whether or not he'd be a good fit on the court with the storied franchise. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the process.

According to ESPN.com, Aldridge – who was scheduled to meet with the New York Knicks on Thursday afternoon but (according to NBA.com) cancelled – will then meet with the Miami Heat and be courted by one of the most persuasive personalities in the history of the game, team president Pat Riley. There's yet another wrinkle, too, the agent for Portland Trailblazers point guard Damian Lillard, Aaron Goodwin, told USA TODAY Sports that his client is planning an impromptu visit to Los Angeles to try and convince his former teammate to stay. Lillard, who finalized a five-year extension worth between $125 and $129 million on Thursday, just returned from a promotional trip in Paris. The relationship between those two players has been a focal point of Aldridge's possible departure from Portland.

But LA, yet again, gets the first shot at LA.
