Aldridge has plenty reasons why he wants to move on, as reported by ESPN. He doesn’t feel like the Blazers can bring in the top free agents to improve the team in addition to feeling like the organization doesn’t appreciate him enough.

Some other teams on Aldridge’s list include the New York Knicks, Dallas Mavericks and Atlanta Hawks, sources told ESPN. The Lakers have also reportedly been interested in trading with the Kings for All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins.
