So only those with stupid ideas are allowed to post their stupid ideas in multiple, and I mean MULTIPLE, threads? Those who find the repetition of the stupid ideas are supposed to be confined to one thread, though? Got it. Seems very childish...
Then you aren't reading my responses. I have no idea if he'll be traded. But I do know that trading him out of fear, and especially for pieces to "fill roster holes" is a terrible strategy. If you want to discuss strategies, then at least read what I type, because I never said I don't think he'll be traded. But you're too busy whining and trying be be right about something. This is classic. You're telling others that they are "being childish", and "pouting" and "kicking and screaming" when you're the only one getting emotional and posting nonsense like this: And you're already asking people to apologize for saying they thought your strategy was terrible. Seriously. Man up, and stop whining.
If Aldridge is asking for a trade because of the city, then I'll be sick to my stomach. Never thought that would be something LA would do... Whether its true or not, idk.
wherever it is here's more food for thought from another board: "From Discovery on the Blazers Club forum Anyway we were told to not to expect LaMarcus to be traded today, that nothing could get done today as it could be a three team trade. But teams like Lakers and Clippers have talked to Olshey about LaMarcus. Also, Olshey may wait for who gets Dwight Howard as both Houston and Dallas would like LaMarcus if either team doesn't get LaMarcus. Rice and Antonio think LaMarcus will be gone before the season, because the Blazers don't want to go into fall camp with this drama. We were hearing from a couple of people who say they know friends of LaMarcus. That LaMarcus thanked and said goodbye to a business owner and said he wasn't coming back. Another person said LaMarcus expects to be traded soon and has already packed up his stuff and moved away from Portland."
He's clearly the inferior player, but I would have no problem with Blake Griffin coming back in a trade for LA. Watching Dame and Blake together would be sick as hell.
Giving the guy credit (even though some may say these are just completely fabricated rumors)---if he does want to go, I applaud the way he's doing it. Telling the GM that he wants to go, but not making a public demand. Saying the right things about where he'd like to go, but not ruling out anyone (for instance, no "I'm not going anywhere except DAL!!"). Saying he'll happily fulfill his contract in Portland even if he isn't traded and we don't become a contender.
If Houston lands Howard; I actually think we have a damn good shot at trading them Aldridge. Asik would be the number one piece; but they would need to give us a hell of a lot more. What other pieces could we get? Maybe a third team?
Hoping Blake's connection with NO means something. I'll be honest. If I were him, I'd much rather be in LA than POR.
Does Houston have any draft picks for 2014? I think that would be the only way Portland gives up Aldridge. Man the trio of Aldridge, Howard and harden would be sick!
If Asik is the main piece coming back in an Aldridge trade, I would be sick to my stomach. Look at what Philly got for Jrue-- I want AT LEAST that.
