What Team Will Win LaMarcus Aldridge Sweepstakes…

LaMarcus Aldridge is one of the biggest free agents available this summer in the NBA and should make an immediate impact on whichever team he chooses to sign with. Aldridge has spent all nine years of his NBA career with the Portland Trailblazers. Aldridge has notified Portland he won’t resign with them. The Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs have shown interest in Aldridge. The Lakers are rumored to be the frontrunners to sign Aldridge.

The Spurs and Mavs have a good chance of signing Aldridge, Aldridge is from Dallas, Texas and wouldn’t mind returning to Texas to play. If Aldridge signs with the Spurs he has a better chance of winning a championship right now. Tim Duncan is part of the Spurs group helping to recruit Aldridge and that’s a good sign that Duncan will return to play for San Antonio next season. Duncan is an 18th year NBA veteran, next season will probably be his last season and he would like to retire with a ring.

Aldridge is a four-time NBA All-Star and has played in the previous four all-star games. Aldridge has averaged 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.0 blocks in his NBA career. From the looks of it, Aldridge will remain out West in the Western Conference and whatever teams he signs with will definitely improve right away. Aldridge turns 30-years-old this month and time is ticking for him to win a NBA championship.
