Los Angeles Lakers Delete Their LaMarcus Aldridge Tweets

Late Tuesday night, the Lakers were sending out tweets, convinced that they were about to lure prized free-agent big man LaMarcus Aldridge to Los Angeles.

They posted a picture of Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine sporting an Aldridge Lakers jersey as well as a tweet with the hashtag "#LAtoLA."

Less than 24 hours later, reports surfaced that the Lakers failed to "make a strong impression" on Aldridge during their meeting, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports. Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times said Aldridge and Kobe Bryant "didn't quite gel."

Following those reports, the Lakers' tweets about LaMarcus Aldridge suddenly disappeared.

ESPN's Dave McMenamin says the tweets were not deleted out of sheepishness, but because the league requested it:
