Suns gain ground in LaMarcus Aldridge sweepstakes

The one thing we knew for certain when Day Two of NBA free agency came to an end? Pat Riley is always willing to go the extra (2,730) miles.

From Miami to Los Angeles, the Heat's president made the unexpected trek to visit with free agent forward LaMarcus Aldridge on Thursday night.

It was the last meeting of a day that had no shortage of twists and turns, from Aldridge's unexpected decision to visit with the Los Angeles Lakers for a second time to the revelation that his Blazers teammate and fellow All-Star, Damian Lillard, was planning on making an 11th-hour visit of his own to convince the big man to stay in Portland.
