Looks like he wants to shoot midrange all day rather than play like a big man or off of Kawaii.
That's too bad. Kawaii is MVP. He signed with the wrong team if he wants to be the man more than he wants team wins.
A team like the Thunder would make a lot of sense, Nuggets, Grizz, Celtics, Pacers?
Three way PG13-LMMA-Randle/pick?
If CP3 and Blake want to leave, S&T?

Dirk is almost done and the Mavs are always in win now mode.
Yea trade down for a player like Aldridge? No way, not happening.
And what's your point if Dirk is almost done? Bring in LA and get a ticket to an early playoff exit again?
Yep, trade down. They could still get the player they want at 5 and use the 10th for Paul Gorge, Jimmy Butler, or LeMarcus Aldridge.
Aldridge would make the Mavs better.
What makes you think the Pacers or Bulls would give up their star for a 5th or 10th instead of a 2nd pick? The Lakers can easily get any of those players for the 2nd pick, but of course they're not going to.
How much better though and at what cost? You're out of you're mind.
My all-time starting five: Hakeem Olajuwan, Michael Jordan, and three 3nD role players.

Lamarcus Aldridge is not the first player to express these feelings about the Spurs.

He believed people when they compared him to Duncan... which he is not. He thought he would be handed the reigns... which he was not.
And while he may feel this way, and I believe the Spurs may want to move him... The source is Stephen A... That dude straight makes stuff up!

-Boston-not for any high picks tho, maybe a future super protected one and Smart (since people seem to think he has vaue. He's garbage to me)
-Chicago if they insist on making Butler-wade work. (For who idk tho)
-Rubio & #7 for LA and Dejaunte Murray?))
-LA for Hornets #11?
-LA for Nuggets #13 and Gallinari.
Doubt Thibs goes with a one year rental of LA at $21 mil. So that's too much to give up IMO. Plus, who wants a player in it for himself. To win titles some players have to sacrifice. Doesn't sounds like he's willing.

Pacers don't want the 10th? Fine Lakers could keep it (in this hypothetical situation) and sign him next off-season.
Pacers get nothing.
The 10th pick + fillers is a lot for a player that wants to sign a max contract with another team.

Re: LaMarcus Aldridge Wants Trade From Spurs
Rumor that the Spurs want to trade him for picks and cap relief came out first?
