Aldridge signed for Suns
After his contract from Blazers, Aldrich wrote letter to his team on Saturday afternoon. He signed up a four-year deal worthy $80 millions. He left Portland as he used to make $11 millions. Blazers kept door open to come back, but indeed “I’m happy to say I’m going home to Texas and will be a Spur!! I’m excited to join the team and be close to my family and friends, said via Twitter.
From the sources said that was the Spurs’ second meeting with Aldridge, with head coach Popovich, Duncan, Leonard and Tony Parker all pitched Aldridge directly Wednesday morning. He’s averaged more than 20 points per game each of the past five seasons, finishing with a career-high 23.4 this past season with 10.2 rebounds per game in 71 appearances.
His letter wrote :
Dear Rip City, Thank you!
Those two words on a page don’t begin to express the gratitude I have for the opportunity the entire Trail Blazers organization, my teammates, the media, and you fans gave me. The past nine years have been a blessing, and I will take all of the valuable memories with me as I head back home.
As I’m sure you can respect, my decision was a very personal one but not one I took lightly. Although I will be wearing a different uniform the next time I come back to Portland, please know that I will always hold my time in a Blazers uniform near and dear to my heart.
Your friend, LA
