While Aldridge said last summer that he intended to sign a five-year deal with Portland and wanted to become the best Blazer ever, there have been no such declarations lately. Last week, a report from Jason Quick of the Oregonian indicated that players were worried he would leave, with one of them calling it a 50-50 proposition. Amy Schwartz of Portland radio station 750 The Game reported that two Portland players had said they do not expect Aldridge to return. Just out on cbs sports 6 hours ago.. |

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2014/08/12/Marketing-and-Sponsorship/LaMarcus-Aldridge.aspx LaMarcus Aldridge Says Endorsements Are "Difficult" To Land Playing In The Northwest Trail Blazers C LaMarcus Aldridge is fulfilling his role as a spokesperson for Vita Coco, and although it may not be the "sexiest endorsement product in the world," the coconut water is still a "national brand, and Aldridge is happy to have the work," according to Allan Brettman of the Portland OREGONIAN. A "recent photo shoot was part of Vita Coco's Athlete Program" and features Aldridge, Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch, Dodgers RF Yasiel Puig, Chargers LB Manti Te'o, Falcons WR Julio Jones and Bengals RB Giovani Bernard. All the athletes have "yearlong deals that will feature them on outdoor billboards and in print, digital and in-store marketing programs." Aldridge said, "I think it's maybe more difficult (in the Northwest) to find different avenues to market and things like that. But I think eventually you find opportunities. I mean, they wanted somebody in the Northwest. And it just worked out for us, (and) the same way with Nike." Aldridge said that his deal with Nike "expires in September but he was likely to re-up." Aldridge: "I've been with them over a decade. I don't see that changing" |
