LaMarcus Aldridge is pulling ahead as the top target for the Lakers this summer.
The Los Angeles Lakers are days way from taking a shot at landing an elite free agent, and LaMarcus Aldridge is emerging as their top priority. Aldridge has reportedly made it clear to the Portland Trail Blazers he intends to sign elsewhere this summer, and Los Angeles is said to be one of his top destinations. The Lakers will offer Aldridge a four-year, $80 million contract when they make their pitch to the big man, reports Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times.
