The Portland Trail Blazers were eliminated from the playoffs in Game 5 and they face an uncertain offseason where LaMarcus Aldridge will decide his future.
“I’ll cross that bridge later on,” Aldridge said when asked about his impending free agency.
The Blazers' playoff chances were severely compromised when Wesley Matthews ruptured his Achilles.
“Things were looking like we were going to take over the West,” he said.
“We were one of the top offensive teams in the league,” Aldridge said. “We never found that rhythm. That’s disappointing for us because we know this team is a lot better than what we played.”
Aldridge is expected to draw interest in free agency from the New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks.
