LaMarcus Aldridge ruled out the Lakers because they didn’t talk enough about basketball. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/7/1/8880343/lamarcus-aldridge-los-angeles-lakers-nba-free-agency …

@ dudes think we're hurt over not getting Aldridge.

If you go to the Laker thread, you'd see many of us (ahem, like me) have said Aldridge won't be a difference maker for us so it's not a big deal.
 

is this kind of like the same situation as the Lakers reporter saying the Lakers were going to "pass on Cousins" after Divac said 20 times that he wasn't going to be traded?

I really would love to hear from ryanjumpman right about now...

You can't even make this stuff up, Knicks connected to Jeremy Lin, Landry Fields and Kendrick Perkins this offseason.

GMs still want Perkins? Dude can't even do a proper hook shot.

This is the key. Lakers still using the Byron Scott "back when I played" way of doing things.

Getting D'Angelo is a start, they need to go all in with current way to play ball. Get off their old way of doin things.

Can't see that happening with Byron as coach.

Trust me, the fans seeking "headlines" might be hurt, the ones seeking a long term successful franchise ain't trippin over not getting Aldridge for max money.

This.

We didnt really want him in the first place. 

Let's let SA or PHX waste their time and money on that guy.

Aldridge was floored in a good way by Houston's analytics, on-court projections in their presentation. Not so with the Lakers.

took byron scott until the all star break to realize shooting 3's was better than long 2's

At some point, somebody gotta just keep Kobe locked up in a basement with duct tape on his mouth until they're done with free agency

I hate you and Chester right now

I wish I knew exactly what we went on in some of these FA meetings. It would make for a nice story Like what exactly is said and shown to the FA.

They'll get washed by Chris Paul and Blake Griffin again.

Nah we good over here now. Jah seems real happy and appreciative to be here and I'm excited to see him play this year. Guy seems like a work horse.

Earl Watson? Is he an assistant coach or something?

The Suns just wanted to add him to the list of PG's they love giving money to.

Yes, but I thought he was with the Spurs. Unless he moved to the Suns since the off-season.

The Suns' two-hour meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge has ended. Aldridge was "very engaged," source said. Phoenix feels it's still in mix.
