Can Raptors Recruit LaMarcus Aldridge?

This leaves a GAPING hole at the 4. Wonder what Masai's contingency plans are.

Brandon Bass?

Is it sad that I'm still holding out hope?

Are you kidding me? He said 'unlikely'! Not 'no chance'!

Raptors have had gaping holes for so many years we're probably filming Backdoor Dinos 19 this coming season.

lol

I was secretly hoping we'd actually have a balanced starting 5 going into training camp.

almost every team does though.

bulls have dunleavy, rockets have jones/beverley, clippers had barnes, portland had their bench, memphis has lee/allen..

I was just making a bad joke. I honestly think Patman could handle the starting duties for us if our scheme didn't ask JV to do what he is unable to handle.

fair, i was just trying to make a point about our starters (wasn't really responding to you)

its pretty damn tough to not have any holes on your team you know. if youre going for a stellar starting 5, youre usually sacrificing depth

eh, i doubt he comes here but i also don't read anything into a "source" saying that. nothing but speculation flying around. also league "sources" and execs would hate it if a big name came here. agendas on all sides.

also: when did this meeting supposedly occur? it's like 7 AM out there, is it not? wouldn't we have heard something last night if it happened then?

if the suns get lma, could we trade picks for the morrises?

i like markieff as our pf

Sounds really good. But only the one that plays 4, don't need 'em both.

Raptors did well in meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge, but it is unlikely he picks the Raptors, per source.

Again? Stop rubbing it in David Aldridge, we've heard enough!

From a hindsight perspective, let's say LMA picked the Raptors.

He'd be hounded year after year when Dallas, San Antonio and Houston are just 'a piece away' from reaching the NBA Finals (or from winning it all).

Easier to pick a team that has a winning tradition.

No one is going to be saying, 4 years from now, "Wow, imagine if LMA had signed with Raptors, what a dynasty that would have been..."
