LaMarcus Aldridge expressed displeasure and confusion Monday afternoon at the unresolved status of his contract negotiations with the Trail Blazers. Speaking publicly for the first time since negotiations started in July, Aldridge said at the team's annual media day that he was stunned the Blazers had not signed him to a long-term contract, particularly considering the prominent role he has played in helping transform the franchise into a Western Conference power. "I didn't think it would take this long," Aldridge said. "I thought that after what we did last year, having 54 wins and after the big change that's happened ... here, I just felt like it wouldn't be this hard to get it done. But it is. I can't say that I'm happy about it."

This guy is one of my favorite players in the league today. Obviously, the Blazers first goal is getting Roy inked to a long term deal and Aldridge comes second. But they better get this figured out soon. You know how many teams would jump at the chance to sign this guy if he happens to test FA waters come next season?
I'm not saying he is a franchise player you build around but the guy puts up solid numbers and has a nice game. I'd say he's a poor man's Chris Bosh.
