Former Portland Trail Blazers star LaMarcus Aldridge had a career night last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder. LA had a career high 56 points on 20-33 shooting and 16-16 from the free throw line.
With DeMar DeRozan struggling, he was pretty much the entire Spurs offense in the fourth quarter and in the overtime periods. His great offensive performance combined with 9 rebounds and 4 blocks added up to a pretty good night for LA.
This impressive performance had my mouth watering dreaming of an Aldridge return to Rip City. About this time last year there were some rumors going around about the Spurs possibly trading LA and now after tonight, it has me wondering if the Spurs would still consider trading him for the right package, which I will get to later.
