Aldrich is a former first round pick of the New Orleans Hornets in the 2010 NBA Draft. He was traded on draft night to the Oklahoma City Thunder where he spent two seasons.

The big man then spent time with the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings before spending two years with the New York Knicks.

Aldrich signed a one-year deal with the Clippers with the hope of winning a NBA title. With the inflated market and the move available Aldrich cashed out and will now be a back up to the reigning rookie of the year Karl-Anthony Towns.
