Is he going to turn it around? I have watched 3 games and all he has been doing is standing 1 step in from the 3PT line and shooting jumpers. Kind of regret picking him.

Really thinking of trading this guy for someone like Varejao as he is underperforming atm and seems to have lingering back issues affecting his game (fg%)

Both him and Horford were supposed to top spot my fg% and help with ft% and that is just NOT happening right now.

It's the long jumpers that are affecting his game. Check the shot chart here: http://www.hoopdata.com/player.aspx?name=LaMarcus%20Aldridge

If his back problems are your main concern, then trading him for a player that has missed the majority of the past two seasons probably doesn't make a lot of sense. I'd aim a bit higher, my guess is that most people will treat Aldridge as if he's still a top player.

Thoughts on whether Aldridge will be able to play this week after spraining his ankle last night?

I read he was on crutches, so I probably wouldn't start him in a weekly league.

Questionable for Thursday, I'd look at safer four-game options if you got them.

I'm starting to get a little worried about Aldridge. My team has been eithe 1 or 2 in the league from the beginning and has a great chance of getting to the finals which start on April 1 -7. 

It seems like this guys is ailing. Should I be worried about him shutting it down at some point or is he going to ride this out.

Thoughts??

Thank you.

Might he (and Batum) get some rest of injuries keep piling up and their playoffs odds continue to decrease? Yes. But let's say you assume he's going to shut it down. What are your options? Your trade deadline has passed, yes? He went for 28/10/4/1/4 two days after rolling his ankle, so it seems like he's going to battle for as long as he's able.

#Blazers coach Terry Stotts said LaMarcus Aldridge (right ankle) probably will not travel on upcoming 2-game trip. TBD after game.
