“I’m on my way to Lawrence right now. I’m going to be in Lawrence most of the summer,” former Kansas University center Aldrich revealed in a cell-phone interview.

I think he'll survive on the ~$2.3 million he made last season with the OKC Thunder.

Sounds like a loser. Hope he finds the validation that he is so desperately seeking.

Any sighting of him cruising through town in his Bentley?!

wes mantooth · « **Reply #6 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:11:32 PM »

Where else is he gonna go? He's from Loserville, Minnesota and I'm sure his current teammates don't enjoy hanging out with toothless losery types.

jtksu · « **Reply #7 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:44:41 PM »

Bet Lawrentucky has some dentists that are great at dealing with toothless losery types. Its probably like Mecca for them.

Can get down k-10 quickly from lawrenctucky for autographs at the Goodcents

Remember that time Beems started a thread talking about how much KU players love returning to Lawrence and saying that Mike Beasley and Bill Walker would never step foot in Manhattan again after they left, only to find out that both of them had already returned to Manhattan to visit, along with NFL superstars Josh Freeman, Terence Newman, Darren Sproles, Jordy Nelson, etc?

OKC used to be so much better about evaluating talent

Today we take a look at one of the Thunder's young draftees, Cole Aldrich. Aldrich had difficulty seeing NBA action this season, dividing much of his time between sitting on the bench in street clothes and spending time in Tulsa playing for the D-League team, the Tulsa 66ers.

Quote

Aldrich really only saw floor time when the team was in the middle of a rout, so Aldrich's moments to shine were relegated to garbage time. Players like Aldrich need to make an impression whenever they get the opportunity, and in the few times early in the season that Aldrich had a shot, he did struggle. Poor play in pressure-less environments lent further credence to the notion that Cole did not yet have the workman's persona that the Thunder require. For example, in the team's win against the 76ers on November 10, he managed to commit four fouls and three turnovers in a scant nine minutes of play

more like Lawrentucky, KS, where NBA careers go to get killed in a violent homicidal event.

'Grats Beemser!!! Most KU fans that I know have already thrown him under the bus now that he is a draft bust and they don't need him anymore.

"he really wasn't that good"
"he got in the way of the offense a lot"

No, he got left behind over in Seff's old hood....mile or two East of the Compton Street of Dreams.

Jesus. What a slap in the face and very

Old hood = back of bus

It was clearly a self esteem building venture for Cole.

Off the mark on this one limey. Brady is in Utah, ballin it up for the scouts. Just wait until you see how impressed they are with his jump-passes.
