Red is correct. To Ralph's credit, he confirmed that it was LMA after Bucher decided to not attach a name to the "all-star power forward" that wanted to come here.

That still sounds pretty sketchy. I think LA being interested in Chicago make sense but in my opinion I haven't seen anything that's really confirmed it yet. It would be awesome if someone else could corroborate these reports though.

Probably still not enough. Trying to fit different rumors.

Wow!!! you have almost half the league in one trade

You're lucky I didn't get Brooklyn involved in this.

there is no reason in the world to deal Noah for Aldridge. Aldridge is a really good player but Noah is one of the best C's in the league and arguably are 2nd most important player behind Rose.
not to mention the effect he has on our defense.

you wanna deal picks, other assets for him that's fine. but you do not deal Rose or Noah(you could argue about not dealing Jimmy as well but that depends on Deng)

Who do you need to confirm this for you? It seems like you have a very specific person in mind.

I believe that there was a thread on this board about the Bucher comments.

I'm 100% confident that Ralph confirmed that Bucher was talking about LMA.

EDIT TO ADD:

I see that you want confirmation from other sources. I can't help you there.

Ralph hinted at this months ago! But most posters here were on the Love wagon. I think another posted here mentioned it before him too.

Portland doesn't trade Aldridge unless Rose goes to Portland. There's not a trade the Bulls could offer that change their mind.

People love Noah, but he's not a top 3 option on legit teams and that type of luxury is tough in this NBA.

96 Bulls all over again

When did the Bulls get the Lakers mindset of spending money and not worrying about the Luxury Tax??...we's about profit, profit, profit..JR has C.R.E.A.M playing in his office, lol

All I'm saying is I'd like to hear it from a non-local perspective, I'm not saying he's lying or something.

To all those saying "Lets go ahead and trade Noah for Aldridge", the idea is to pair up Aldridge with Rose and Noah.

We're not getting all-stars for table scraps. Don't see it happening.

Yeah exactly. I'm not denying Ralph said it, but no offensive to him and I respect his input and he's welcome to share his information but I don't consider him to be a legit source compared to media outlets.

Aldridge and his offense would be a perfect compliment to Noah, IMO.
But I don't see us have the parts to make Portland bite and we would need to get rid of BoozeMan.

1 1/2 words: 3rd Team.

Yeah, who are we, the Lakers?

Consistent with that one Bucher rumor from awhile ago. If it's true, the feeling is mutual. This team would be deadly with Aldridge.

tgmxd · Post #79 » by **tgmxd** » Wed Jun 26, 2013 6:18 pm

Can't think it'd be that hard to find a 3rd team to help us.

This is huge news though. Doesn't this pretty much guarantee that we will get Aldridge (if we want him) either this Summer or the next?
