After days of anticipating the meeting between the Los Angeles Lakers and free agent LaMarcus Aldridge, the news arrived that he will not be choosing LA….or will he?
Mike Bresnahan tweeted the following earlier this afternoon:
LaMarcus Aldridge will not be joining the Lakers, The Times has learned. They were a 50-50 choice but he disliked bball part of presentation

More LMA: He and Kobe didn’t quite gel. It’s a little vague, but Aldridge apparently didn’t quite get answers from Kobe he was seeking.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports then added a little more to the story:
As @Mike_Bresnahan says, Aldridge felt too much of Lakers presentation focused on outside opportunities; wanted clearer, better b-ball focus

And then this happened:
The @aldridge_12 camp pushing back hard against LAT story that he’s already eliminated the Lakers from consideration: “completely false.”
