Aldridge在自由市場的動向可能遠超出預期
LaMarcus Aldridge said he wants to finish his career with the Trail Blazers.
He also rejected Portland’s contract-extension offer before the season.
Though that move was mostly financially motivated, it will allow him to hear
pitches from other teams this summer.
And he might listen.
Aldridge曾表示, 想整個職業生涯都待在拓荒者, 但他在本季前卻拒絕了拓荒者所開的延長
合約. 雖然目的可能是想在下份合約拿更多的錢, 但這也代表著他將在暑假時聽取更多的
報價.
Lillard being the face of the franchise might not bother Aldridge. Aldridge
reportedly wanted to be traded a couple years ago, and though he denied that,
he admitted to being “extremely frustrated.” Then Lillard emerged as Trail
Blazers general manager Neil Olshey built a strong roster, and Aldridge got
much happier.
But that doesn’t mean Aldridge will definitely re-sign with Portland.
The Spurs and Mavericks have been linked to the native Texan, and if he
expresses a sincere desire to explore the market, he’ll draw plenty of other
suitors.
Lillard現在身為拓荒者的門面, 而這也許不會影響Aldridge. 因為先前幾年, 曾有報導
指出Aldridge要求交易, 不過這個消息被他本人撇清, 但也不得不承認那時的他
"極度沮喪." 而在Lillard到來之後, 總管Olshey也組了一套有競爭力的陣容, 這讓
Aldridge稍微釋懷了點.
但, 這並不完全表示他下季會與拓荒者重新簽約.
假如他真的認真考慮投入自由市場的可能, 那這將會吸引許多球隊爭奪Aldridge, 而且
Aldridge又是德州人, 小牛馬刺與他的地緣關係也許會讓Aldridge列入考慮.
I think LaMarcus Aldridge is actually a lot more in play than people think.
How can you really improve that group up in Portland? I think Neil has done a
great job up there, but it’s Portland. He’s never quite fit in, and they’
ve made it really clear that Damian Lillard is the face of their franchise.
而另一種說法來自ESPN的記者Ramona Shelburne. 他對Aldridge之後動向做了分析:
"Aldridge下季的去留絕對比想像中還複雜." "即使總管Olshey對陣容的補強做了很好,
但Aldridge是在拓荒者
