Knicks News: Mutual Interest Between LaMarcus Aldridge, New York?

Many have written off soon-to-be free agent LaMarcus Aldridge as being destined to re-sign with the Portland Trail Blazers, but it doesn't appear the New York Knicks got the memo.

According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, the Knicks may even have a chance to land Aldridge if the right cards fall on the table:

When Aldridge told The Oregonian in July that he wanted to sign a five-year contract to remain in Portland, most league observers assumed that the Knicks had no chance to land Aldridge.

But last month, two opposing executives said the belief in some league circles was that San Antonio and New York would be on Aldridge’s radar and that Aldridge wasn’t as committed to re-signing in Portland as he’d been months earlier.

While rumors are likely to swirl around Aldridge until he makes a commitment one way or the other in July, the door appears to be at least slightly ajar for the Knicks to make a pitch to the star big man.
