RT @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.
Not to sound like vahagn....but that's good news for New York. Now they can aim at the mid level guys who they have a way better chance at and now they have less competition at the moment to land them
RT @WojYahooNBA: Aldridge felt first meeting with Lakers was too focused on non-basketball (Hollywood, branding, etc) and Lakers want to rectify it.
You can't make this shit up.

im reaching like a mofo here but lakers inviting LMA back tells me they're pitching a Rolo/LMA front court
By Slaent Made Me Change My Username Go To PostWhat a day to be a Knicks fan! amirite? LOLOLOLOL.keep trying hard like if we are sad. we got a good deal with afflalo and more to come.
By K@do Go To Postim reaching like a mofo here but lakers inviting LMA back tells me they're pitching a Rolo/LMA front courtThey don't have the caproom. Plus, that's a terrible pitch. He would get that plus then some in POR or SAS.
@daldridgetnt: Knicks meeting was cancelled once it became clear NY wanted Aldridge to play center, something he is adamant against doing, per source.

But Mamba said the Lakers wanted him to play center...
By SuperMalo Go To Post@daldridgetnt: Knicks meeting was cancelled once it became clear NY wanted Aldridge to play center, something he is adamant against doing, per source.Durrrrr. Every time someone says LMA should play center, he's gonna back away. He hates playing center.
You must be really dumb as a professional basketball org if your pitch to LaMarcus is for him to play center.

Yap, That's the Knicks.

... it's center in the East. Like his biggest threat is Drummond, Monroe, Vuce or something. It's not like the West where you run a gauntlet or guys like Gasol/Timmay/etc., if Al Horford can survive center LMA can.
Dude man up.

Sources: Knicks pursuing a second canceled meeting. "They want to see if they can get this cancellation right"
gahhhhhdaamn looool
By K@do Go To Postat least he does know what he doesn't want.Yeah dude he's totally still on the fence about la. Keep hope alive!
Simple GoogleSearch would've told him playing Center in East >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Playing Center in West.
Well time to go in on Robin Lopez. I hear he's a real man.

By The Frankman Go To PostSimple GoogleSearch would've told him playing Center in East >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Playing Center in West.You're really not getting this, are you? It has nothing to do with playing against other centers. Like, nothing at all. He already gets guarded by the opposing team's best big.

By masud Go To PostYeah dude he's totally still on the fence about la. Keep hope alive!im not hopeful at all, i think he's savoring all this attention.
he's still going to SA or back to portland.
@Joelsherman1: Who gets shutout more: #Mets on field or #nyknicks in free agency? Not great moment for NY sports.
Even baseball writers throwing shade at the Knicks lololol

Mike Mazzeo @MazzESPNThis means either Jack or Blake is gone. Probably Jack. Low key successful off season continues.
Larkin had interest from 3-4 other teams, passed up more money from one of them to stay in New York. Was playing for #NYK
3:14 PM - 2 Jul 2015
I'm guessing the news out of this second meeting will be all sunshine and roses and Ramona Shelburne company-speak. The Lakers will be reported - by LMA's agent - to be in the final running and he'll choose the Spurs just like we expected from the start.
alex @steven_lebronYASSSS, DO IT KOBRR!!!
what if this is all a set up for kobe to stone cold stunner aldridge
So... what you saying is Aldridge doesn't like being labeled a center because he finds it offensive to his basketball racial identity or something... like literally what the fuck? So we are ignoring what he himself has said now?
EDIT: He's said on many occasions he hates playing against centers, a lot of his resurgence was due to moving to PF.

I'm not hopeful either, but at this point I think he really has no clue. It's not like he needs more leverage.

You literally just said it has nothing to do with him playing against other centers.
He's said many times it does...

LMA in Miami makes the least amount of sense out of any of the other proposed teams.
By The Frankman Go To PostYou literally just said it has nothing to do with him playing against other centers.There's more to playing center than just who your opposition is, ffs. Power Forward and Center aren't the same position, you keep treating it like the only difference is that the players in that position are bigger and stronger.
He's said many times it does…
…

He'd probably be willing to play center in SA.....I wonder why.
By KingGondo Go To PostIt isn't spinning, it's a fact. This is an incredibly unique situation in all of NBA history. A contract in the $15-16 million range for a guy like Kanter won't look bad in a couple of years.
LoL.
Yeah, it will.
srs question tho
The Kings are a disaster. The entire league is laughing at them. Sorry, Sacto fans, I’m just relaying the info coming into my email and text message inboxes. They fired the only coach who has ever gotten along with DeMarcus Cousins, messed around with Ty Corbin because he happened to be sitting there, and then swung big for George Karl — a legitimate basketball savant.
Damn

By giririsss Go To PostLoL.you using same excuses to justify some of your signing homie
Yeah, it will.
120 mil for Brandon Knight and 32 year old center brehs
By D'Moris Russell Go To PostHe'd probably be willing to play center in SA…..I wonder why.Well Hell yeah so would I. Don't give a BS reason doe.
The whole thing sounds off because if Knicks wanted MA to play center exclusively why go after RoLo and schedule meetings with DeAndre/Monroe/etc.? What is more likely is Knicks asked if LMA could play some center at times so Carmelo could play PF for stretches (where he has been fantastic at), LMA be like "... for the Knicks? LOL go kick rocks you old clown."
Alan Hahn @alanhahn 4 mins agoagain.
Wait, so #Knicks aren’t a destination bc of their roster but LMA canceled meeting over a position disagreement? Sure. #BananaInTheTailpipe
By The Frankman Go To PostWell Hell yeah so would I. Don't give a BS reason doe.You are truly a Knicks fan. Dat persecution complex.

What persecution? Stop making up narratives for a second. I've said many times the man should go back to Portland real talk. If he's going to be flighty and seemingly not care about winning then hey, why shouldn't Knicks give it a shot? But let's be real about it, he either didn't get the money figure he wanted (max) or he was using them to drive up more interest. Dude is now apparently setting up meeting with teams that can't even sign him wtf?
By Omega Go To Posthe never had any intention of going to NY so who even cares what his reasoning was for cancelling.Him I guess?
