    I keep hoping that one dream is alive. Boom Monroe and LA, right back in it. The realistic side of me just says, ehhh probably not. I'm doom and gloom as fuck though right now with everything surrounding this team though so that probably affects my thinking, lol

    It would be awesome but it just doesn't seem like the type of thing that happens to Portland since the days of Trader Bob. Can Neil pull that off?

    Based on how much you all bitch about phoenix, you all sound like a bunch of whiny girls. You know nothing about Phoenix if you honestly think there is nothing to do there, and coming from a place like Portland, you guys have no room to talk. There us so much more to do in Phoenix than there is in Portland. I know because I have actually lived in both places. It doesnt matter anyways. He lives in Los Angeles during the off season. I think it will come down to the Spurs, the Suns, and the Blazers. But if you all are saying you will lose your love for him even if he comes back, that is just crap. He should leave if that's how you feel.

    I hope you're right. I hope LA's heart is tugging at him to stay in Portland and I hope that Monroe is just waiting on LA's decision. I hope tomorrow is a day full great breaking news. I do think the fans deserve that. No need for them to have to deal with another rebuild.

    Well. Sucks but will say LMA played his guts out the last few years he was here. Portland isn't a place players dream of going to. Looks like another rebuild. Somebody want to start a 2016 draft thread.

    I've been to Phoenix many times. Six months of the year, people avoid outdoors during what are typical times to be outside in most places. In ten years, people will be leaving in droves due to heat and lack of water.

    That being said, it's not about what the city offers. Guys today can play wherever they want and easily live wherever they want. So, what the city itself offers as far as lifestyle is somewhat irrelevant. If LA wants a team with a chance to win, enhance his legacy, etc., Phoenix makes no sense.

    Lol at whiner calling out whining. Welcome to the board - stay in Phoenix.

    Of course you hope LA leaves. Because for all the crap some of us give LMA, the Morris twins started 110+ games and played almost 5000 minutes for you last year. :dunno:
