LaMarcus Aldridge informs Blazers he will not re-sign

They are one of the best teams in the league as it is, and you only lose Danny Green in the process to get Aldridge? That's a huge improvement.
 
 
Belinelli can be solid enough defensively to fill in 

On paper or 2K maybe, but I don't think Aldridge is a fit for what they do best. Incredibly active team on both ends, flying around defensively then a ton of movement offensively while taking a lot of threes. Meanwhile you have Aldridge, a ball stopper who is in love with the midrange game. He isn't the best fit for SA.

Or you can think of it as Duncan doing Splitter's role, and Aldridge as the new Duncan
