David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt 19s19 seconds ago
The @aldridge_12 camp pushing back hard against LAT story that he's already eliminated the Lakers from consideration: "completely false."

Interesting

Mavs apparently had a 4 and 1/2 hour meeting with DeAndre Jordan. Jeez. What was he doing? The entire dance team, one after another?

Chandler for four years would've been terrible for us.

Spurs Spurs-ing in the offseason is unfair.

Remember when everybody thought the Lakers would sign big name FA's this offseason and compete in the west ? :lol:

Their unprotected pick >>>>>>>>>>>>> MCW.

I wonder how much (if at all) the Aldridge bonanza is holding up guys like Monroe and Lopez.

****, I read this as completed deal and got excited.

Which teams are actually still in the bidding for centers - particularly Lopez and Monoe?

Knicks, Lakers, Bucks, Portland? Who else? I'll assume OKC and Memphis are busy with their guys and will get those deals done.

All besides the Knicks who will get Monroe I'm guessing. We're third on that list too unless we overpay.

I would assume Dallas if they don't get Jordan.

I just can't see Robin Lopez choosing to live in Milwaukee.

Not every team is in cap position to do this. Certain teams like the Mavs and the Clippers are in position, so I'll add them.

I think if Monroe was coming here it would have already happened. Plus I don't think the Bucks would be talking to Rlo if they thought they had a good chance at Monroe.

are there any good comic book stores? He was a fixture at them here in Phoenix. He's an interesting dude with a bad temper.

Do we know who the Bucks contingent is that's meeting with Monroe and Lopez?

He could probably grow an extra arm from surfing in Lake Michigan and become the best defensive center of all time though.

I'm not saying I think it is going to happen, but isn't he still taking the meetings that he had scheduled and said he would have? Too early to read into it I think

Larry Krystkowiak, John Hammonds and Dan Gadzuric.

I wonder if Lopez would be in play for Dallas if D Jordan stays with the Clippers.

Are the Blazers still looking to sign another big since they already have Kaman and Leonard, traded for Plumlee and Vonleh and just signed Aminu?

Henson is better then koufas and Bismack...Monroe going to NY and we are meeting with Rolo

not a fan of Henson. Koufas IMO is a definite upgrade and I could flip a coin with Bismack but I prefer the change so I'll lean that way regardless.

i realize Henson went out on a big note this year but that doesn't change the fact the past 3yrs he's been overall pedestrian. If he magically turned the corner in those 6 games I'll agree with you but that's far from a guarantee

Then he's way more potent and of a prolific shooter than we previously thought. He'd be underpaid at the max.
