Blazers GM Neil Olshey expects his team to be active in free agency.
They'd better be. The Blazers have significant cap space in the offseason, and just about everyone is expecting some type of splash this summer. "We're going to be aggressive to construct a deal to make the team better on draft night," he said. The team will attempt to use draft picks to acquire a true, starting center, which is the priority in free agency if one isn't landed via trade. The Oregonian suggets Marcin Gortat could be a potential trade target. Apr 19 - 10:24 AM

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge had a monster game in Wednesday's finale with 30 points, 21 boards and three blocks in a 99-88 loss to the Warriors.

He was questionable with a left ankle injury and turned in one of the best lines of his career. He had a season high in boards, shot the ball well from the field making 12-of-23 and knocking down all six free throws. Aldridge's jump-shooting ways helped him become this season's highest-scoring power forward and he turned in a big year with his 74 games played.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) will play in Wednesday's season finale against the Warriors.

He was a game-time call and he's been bothered by his left ankle injury for about two weeks. The Blazers probably wouldn't suit him up at anything not close to 100 percent, so he belongs in just about all lineups considering he leads all power forwards in scoring. Meyers Leonard should go back to a secondary role and has very little value.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Wes Matthews (ankle) are both questionable to play Wednesday vs. the Warriors.

Neither guy suited up on Tuesday against the Clippers, so we're considering each very questionable to play on Wednesday. If both sit out again, Meyers Leonard will start for Aldridge and Will Barton would start for Matthews.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Wes Matthews (ankle) are both out for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

The Blazers will roll with a starting lineup of Damian Lillard, Will Barton, Victor Claver, J.J. Hickson and Meyers Leonard. Aldridge's ankle will be reevaluated before Wednesday's finale, but we'd be surprised if he returned. The Blazers have been out of the playoff chase for weeks. Note that Leonard is averaging 11.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.6 blocks in eight starts so far this season.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Wes Matthews (ankle) are both questionable to face the Clippers on Tuesday.

Neither player suited up on Sunday and it's possible they'll be sitting out again on Tuesday considering the Blazers are only playing for pride. If Aldridge sits, Meyers Leonard should draw another start, while Matthews' absence would open up more minutes for Will Barton again.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle), Nicolas Batum (shoulder) and Wesley Matthews (ankle) will not play against the Nuggets on Sunday.

He scored 12 points and didn't look like himself on Friday, so it's not that big of a surprise. Aldridge is certainly a shutdown candidate in Portland's remaining two games. Meyers Leonard will start and could post a double-double against the up-tempo Nuggets.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 12 points with two boards and one assist in 28 minutes against the Thunder on Friday.

He had an illness and his 28 minutes tonight were well below his season average of 38 minutes per game. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) will play in Friday's game against the Thunder.

Aldridge has had the sniffles for a few days now, but it's nothing serious. We'd expect something close to 40 minutes once again in this brutal matchup.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge is under the weather and didn't practice Thursday.

Aldridge played through the illness Wednesday and managed to put together a 17-point, 16-rebound performance. This sounds like the Blazers just resting their best player in practice with nothing really left to play for. We fully expect Aldridge will be in the lineup Friday night against the Thunder we'll sideline him just to be safe.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge played through his migraine on Wednesday and had 17 points, 16 rebounds, three steals and no blocks on 7-of-13 shooting in a loss to the Lakers.

The Blazers have nothing left to play for, but the good news is that all four of their remaining games are against playoff teams (OKC, DEN, LAC and GSW), so they may still be making a strong effort in hopes of playing spoiler.

LaMarcus Aldridge is feeling better and will play through a migraine on Wednesday.

He was a little iffy coming in, but it sounds like he's good to go, so get him in your lineup.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) is probable for Wednesday night while J.J. Hickson (back spasms) is considered a game-time decision.

Aldridge just returned a few days ago from an ankle injury but is "under the weather," according to coach Terry Stotts. He might be at less than 100 percent but we fully expect LMA to play. We'll sideline him just in case and owners will want to check back around warmups to be safe. As for Hickson, the back injury is fairly new and he was considered questionable for tonight's game against the Lakers. He hasn't missed a single game all season so it would be a little surprising to see him start now, even though he has little incentive to push through. Much like Aldridge, we should know more after pregame warmups. Meyers Leonard could be in for some big minutes tonight if either player sits.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge returned from an ankle injury on Friday during a 116-98 loss to the Rockets, shooting 12-of-19 from the field for 32 points with 13 boards, three assists and one block in 40 minutes.

He passed Mychal Thompson for seventh place on Portland's all-time scoring list tonight and also leads the league with 30-10 games. Aldridge looked pretty healthy as indicated by the 40 minutes and he looks to be good to go even though Portland has mathematically been eliminated from playoff contention.

LaMarcus Aldridge - F/C - Trail Blazers

LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) will play in Friday's game against the Rockets.

During Aldridge's four-game absence, the Blazers went 0-4 and blew any shot at rallying for the Western Conference's final playoff spot. Now he's returning for what has become garbage time. Owners that were sneakily streaming Meyers Leonard need to move on as Aldridge is a good bet for 30-plus minutes in this dream matchup.
