Report: Mavericks 'biggest threat' to pull LaMarcus Aldridge away from Portland
Is a return to Texas in the cards for Portland Trail Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge?
Aldridge will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and will undoubtedly have multiple suitors this summer.
One of the teams expected to go after Aldridge is the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs should have the necessary cap space and desire to add another elite talent next to Dirk Nowitzki in the twilight of his career.
Here's more from Ric Bucher at Bleacher Report:
"Of his potential suitors, league sources indicate that the Mavericks are the biggest threat to pull Aldridge away from the Blazers, but it’s the general idea of returning to Texas, not a specific destination, that appeals to him. Both the Mavericks and Spurs, of course, could have the requisite cap space, reputation of success and location.
Both also may not be perfect fits. Several sources have indicated that the Spurs, for whatever reason, are either off his list or not very high on it. And the question concerning Dallas is: Does an aging Dirk Nowitzki truly give him a better chance of competing for a title? Dallas, sources say, is clearly interested, but where he sits on its priority list is not clear."
