Aldridge in Houston

[ATLSmith]

Aldridge is meeting with Houston first. This doesn't mean he'll necessarily sign there, but does anyone else feel that it would make Houston an immediate title contender?

They have $65 million in salary commeited to 2015-16 - no cap room - which means it'll have to be a sign and trade which means they'll be gutting their team.

He's from Texas, so I'm sure he is giving all of the Texas teams a chance to sign him. I would be surprised if he signs there tho. SAS or Dallas more likely...

I thanks.  I should really check the numbers first.

Even though, if they have Harden, Howard, Aldridge, and filler, they will be a force.

And hard capped. Again.

I think the hard capped situation is a bigger deal than the general fan understands. Maybe if Zach Lowe came up with a catchy buzzword for it and waxed on for 5 paragraphs with SAT vocabulary people might change their tune?

I think LaMarcus is having a lovely lunch there today..that's about it.

Same thing with his TOR visit.

LMA begged Portland for years to bring in someone to move him to the 5.  Why would he want to be the 5 here in Atlanta?

I don't know where he fits there ... I think he is a better fit in SA where I think Duncan will turn the reigns to him and take a backseat role.
