LaMarcus Aldridge quickly became one of the top names on the NBA buyout market after offering back $7.3 million of his $24 million compensation to guarantee a buyout from the San Antonio Spurs.

It seemed like the Miami Heat and Lakers would be the leaders for his services, however, it seems like the Brooklyn Nets are dipping in for another superstar forward who just got a buyout.

As indicated by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, LaMarcus Aldridge will sign with the Nets, supporting their title chances all the while:

It appears to be practically baseless the Nets are getting Aldridge after landing Blake Griffin following his buyout with the Detroit Pistons. Griffin has resembled a rejuvenated player since joining Brooklyn for the last three games, and however he’s just averaging 9.0 points and 3.3 rebounds per game, he’s doing it in far fewer minutes (18.3 per game). He’s likewise been undeniably more proficient, shooting 9-for-14 from the floor and 3-for-4 from downtown.

The Nets most likely shouldn’t expect a similar sort of resurgence from the 35-year-old LaMarcus Aldridge, who was averaging 13.7 points and 4.5 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game for the Spurs this year. He was shooting a clean 46.4 percent from the field, remembering 36% from long reach for 3.6 attempts an evening. In the event that he can spread the floor and set up focuses on his restricted time off the bench, he’ll be adding to the profundity of a championship-caliber team.

LaMarcus Aldridge can truly just play the 5 at this phase of his career, and he’s a short defensively, however, Brooklyn’s whole way of thinking to a great extent disregards that end of the floor in any case. While folks like Griffin and Aldridge aren’t what they used to be, between those two, James Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, there will be a lot of recognizable names battling for a title in Brooklyn this year.
