The NBA will soon become history for LaMarcus Aldridge, who at the moment is part of the San Antonio Spurs. But Aldridge can still have his last dance with the Portland Trail Blazers and play again with former teammate Damian Lillard if a trade between the two teams can be arranged in the offseason.

Portland can re-acquire Aldridge in exchange for Trevor Ariza and Rodney Hood. In doing this, the team has the assurance that Aldridge is willing to do the cross over from Texas.

According to Bleacher Report, the 7-time All-Star has made a promise that he will soon team up again with Lillard, which was revealed when Aldridge was interviewed by The Athletic in 2019.

"I keep telling [Lillard] I'm going to come back and finish there ... That's something him and I have talked about-playing together again," the 35-year-old was reported as saying.

For the trade to materialize, the same report proposed that the Trail Blazers waive their free-agency rights to Hassan Whiteside. This will give the team enough cap space to maneuver for a successful deal during the season break.

Aldridge donning the Portland shirt again will be a different game from his first stint with the team. This time around, he is the third option after Lillard and CJ McCollum. And the recent tweaks on Aldridge's play should provide some openings for the Trail Blazers.

For instance, LA has been focusing lately on his sniping from beyond the arc. If Aldridge will be seen as a threat to the area, he will effectively spread out the movements on the floor and allow the Portland guards to make a killing driving to the basket.

The same gameplay will be a boon too for Jusuf Nurkic, whose posting around the paint area is expected to flourish with the opponent's defense stretched a little to check on the three-point threats coming from Aldridge.

Fadeaway World said the Portland playbook is a perfect fit for Aldridge. He is 35 but remains potent, especially when not hobbled by injuries. The past season saw the veteran contributing to the Spurs' cause 18 points per game at 49% accuracy, which by any account is impressive for his age.

If the proposed homecoming will work and Aldridge will find it a breeze to collaborate again with the Trail Blazers crew, then the team's offensive attack is something to watch for next season.

However, the report noted that Portland's immediate need is to plug a hole on the defense, an area not known as the Aldridge's expertise. So it's a suspect if bringing an old player back to the fold is part of the team's priority moving forward.
