    I wanted to try out the new nickname
    I'm looking forward to it, but I also know MyLe playing comes with tons of frustration.

    I think he'll be fine as the backup. I just don't think he's even remotely ready to start.

    Yes he'll be primary backup. Nope... don't like the proposed nickname.

    Making your lottery pick a 3rd stringer is a good way to turn into Sacramento in terms of player development.

    A lot of "busts" could have turned out just fine if they went somewhere like San Antonio instead of New Orleans, Sacramento, etc.

    I don't like him. Sorry. I think he won't be anything that we can count on. I would really love us to just trade him.

    That's a horrible excuse to give up on a player.

    You are so blindly faithful to Aldridge, but you are ready to give up on a guy after one year?

    Jermaine O'Neal ring any bells?

    Oh did I mention that I don't like him because he looks like a school girl on the court?

    Blindly follow a player that gives you 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.2 blocks? Yeah if you want to call it blindly following, then yes I do!

    Does Ha Jeng Jeng ring a bell?

    No, who the fuck is that?

    You're the type of guy that gives up on Jermaine O'Neal after a year and then cries about trading him after he becomes good for another team.

    Don't worry, the pendulum will swing back on Meyers for Mags like it has with just about every other player.

    I never cried about Jerm leaving. You assume too much. ANd btw, Jerm didn't look like a lost puppy dog on defense when he was on the court. He was also a 18 year old player that played zero college. Leonard had a opportunity to really excel, yet the coach couldn't even keep him on the floor.

    So if there was a deal for a better vet; I'm down.

    I was using Jermaine as an example. I don't care whether you liked him or not. Just using it to explain the type of person you are.

    There has been only 2 players on this current roster that I am "goo goo" for. Lillard and Aldridge. Batum, Matthews and anyone else could be gone and I won't be pissed. I was a huge Hickson fan too when he first came to Portland. Then his defense really pissed me off.

    I'm looking forward to your reaction when Meyers proves you wrong.

    Right, I'm just saying depending on the time of the month, you'll be over the top in love with a guy, or a trade him now for what we can get
