Big Al or LMA?
Cool post from Tom Ziller over at the Fanhouse, asking which young Western Conference big you'd rather have, Aldridge or Al Jeff. Basically, Ziller uses some Hollinger-ology to side with Aldridge. I have to say I agree with him, but not for any of the reasons he puts forth (though I agree with the basic point that Aldridge's inside/outside versatility is impressive - it can have a dark side of turning him into an outside chucker as his career progresses). No, the main reason to bet on Aldridge instead of Al is that one plays for the Trail Blazers, and the other plays for the worst run franchise in the league. If anyone has any doubt on the later, check out Britt's latest.

So hard on the TWolves, Mr. Napora! One might argue that the Blazers were in a much worse state three years back.
The reason LaMarcus is better than Big Al is that he is better! More of a complete baller, a better defender and more efficient offensive player. Al wins as the best beast, hands down. But in the uptempo flavor of today's NBA, I would take Aldridge.
