Another twist of the knife.

Kobe got booted from the meeting duties

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt
The second meeting with the Lakers will only involve GM Mitch Kupchak and Coach Byron Scott, & will only be about basketball, per source.

Sam Amick @sam_amick
LaMarcus Alrdige's second meeting with the Lakers, I'm told, will focus on just talking basketball with Mitch Kupchak and Byron Scott.

Lakers are referring to their expected second meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge as "a follow-up."

 

[youngwolf]

How the Heat goin after LMA & still don't have Wade locked in?

Bosh gets traded.

 

[nycknicks105]

LMA going to Lakers. Book it!

 

[phar0]

Live look at Melo

 

[friscostylez]

i don't get why LMA has been so allergic to playing Center during his career

 

[mister friendly]

Isn't LA going to have to play center for the Lakers too?

ya but its LA, it'll be different here

David Aldridge @daldridgetnt 1m
Knicks meeting was cancelled once it became clear NY wanted Aldridge to play center, something he is adamant against doing, per source.

LOL.

Not that it matters now with this many bigs available in FA, but this is why we shouldn't have drafted Kristaps. Should have traded down for WCS or Winslow.

And exactly, he'd play C for the Lakers too so doesnt make sense at same time

 

[moneylicious]

See? Like this I dont get. Why not fam thats your bro.

he buys crap that i dont agree with and vice versa. Too many petty arguments will occur lol.

Why is this newsworthy?

"Lakers are referring to their follow up with LaMarcus Aldridge as a "second meeting", sources say"

Keep your *** at home Kobe

He'd have to play both. But he'd get the lion's share of his minutes at PF.

Like 24 minutes at the 4. 8 minutes at the 5.

So that Julius Randle gets significant minutes as well.

To recap, the Heat have no cap space and no glaring need for a big, and Aldridge is meeting with them.

The Knicks, on the other hand ...

Straight up disrespect

The Lakers will get a second meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge today in Los Angeles, league source tells Yahoo Sports.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) July 2, 2015

For what tho

Probably for aldridge to tell them face to face he aint signing with the lakers. Dwight did the same thing

 

[noblekane]

They'll be like "Listen, forget what Kobe said.  He'll be gone soon...  It ain't like that."

Treating kobe like a washed husband from Snapped

 

[6 man]

Dwight already had a relationship with the franchise though. Why would Aldridge take another face to face just to tell them he's not signing there?
