Aldridge Wants to Stay in POR, Won’t Extend

LaMarcus Aldridge tells The Oregonian he will not sign a contract extension with #Blazers this offseason, but plans to do so next summer.

Aldridge said it makes most sense financially to wait because he can sign for more years (5) and make more money ($108 million) next year.

Aldridge: “I’m happy to stay (in Portland), happy to be here, happy with the direction the team has gone the last year or 2. But I just want to get a 5-year deal. I feel like that’s the best decision on my part.”

LaMarcus Aldridge said he wants to finish his career in Portland. One reason why: “I want to be the best Blazer. Ever.”
