Reports: LaMarcus Aldridge Leaning Toward Lakers, Spurs

All around the free-agency bush, the NBA chased LaMarcus Aldridge.

A pair of reputable sources shared the latest scuttlebutt on the highly prized power forward Monday night. But unfortunately for outsiders, the reports are conflicting.

Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times said Aldridge is leaning toward the Los Angeles Lakers, a somewhat-surprising revelation given the franchise has recently posted its two worst win-loss records since moving from Minneapolis in 1960.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports said the San Antonio Spurs are the favorite to land Aldridge, though the Portland Trail Blazers—his team since entering the league—is still in the mix.

Paul Garcia of Project Spurs noted Wojnarowski shared while appearing on Fox Sports Live:

Free agency begins on Wednesday, July 1, at 12 a.m. ET, so Aldridge can visit teams on the West Coast before the clock strikes midnight. He’ll be taking full advantage of that time frame, per TNT’s David Aldridge.

Aldridge netted a career-best 23.4 points and snatched 10.2 rebounds per game in 2014-15. The soon-to-be 30-year-old has spent all nine professional season with the Blazers.

Buckle up, basketball lovers. The pursuit of Aldridge will probably only get crazier.
