Lamarcus Aldridge agrees to contract extension worth around $70 million

[supermanhoward12]

The Portland Trail Blazers have verbally agreed in principle to a contract extension with forward LaMarcus Aldridge, a source close to the process told ESPN.com on Wednesday.The extension is for five years and $65 million, the source said. At $65 million, Aldridge will be $15 million shy of the max.

The deal could reach $70 million through incentives, but those will reportedly be difficult for Aldridge to hit.

Lamarcus Aldridge extension could reach $70 million with incentives, but assures him between $65-$68 million over five seasons with Portland

i understand he is a very good player but......

a little much? 70 mil over 5 years is a max-deal.

look what orlando and rashard lewis have done to the NBA.

What did you really expect? He's a big man, and a good big man at that. I'm not a huge fan and don't think he's capable of being second fiddle on a championship contending team but you can't really say you expected anything less than 11 or so a year.
