When I first heard this in late June that Lemarcus Aldridge cancelled his Knicks meeting because of the Knicks wanting to play him exclusively at the 5, I said it had to be BS because you would think with the weak position the Knicks were in to sign top tier FA's they would tell LMA he could play any position he wanted and the Knicks would make it work.
Now you hear from LMA on ESPN radio that this was indeed true, the Knicks told him they wanted him to be their full time center and that's why they didn't meet. Granted the Knicks would have been a long shot to sign him even if they wanted to use him at the 4 but I've questioned PJ's ability as an executive and this incident with LMA makes me even more skeptical of him.
