LaMarcus Aldridge just retired due to a heart issue.

He was looking good on that Brooklyn team too. I feel bad he couldn't continue to the end of this year, but gotta take care of yourself. He was a fun player.

Well damn. Hopefully nothing that can't be remedied.

this worked out about as well as a bad situation can. he had a full career and a great one - this didn't knock him out of the game in his 20s - and he got it figured out before he died on the court. best wishes to him.

well, getting easier and easier for the LAs come playoff time. hopefully it's a sprain and he'll be back in time.

if he's not back, that's a kick in the neck for the league. that murray/mitchell heavyweight brawl last year was something to behold - both players brought their AAA game to the playoffs.

Nothing wrong with having a bad draft take.



He had a really annoying feud with some other rube, IIRC. Kind of ruined the board for a while.

Saw a story that Tony Ronzone got fired from Dallas for an alleged sexual assault.

Wasn't he the one that supposedly told a Rube here A LOT of Wolves inside info when he was here?

I think he was a Kahn guy...a scout or something who drafted that 37 year old ineligible guy.
