    At the end of the day he's just an assistant coach. They aren't in the loop as much as you'd think when it comes to this kind of stuff.

    This needs an explanation immediately though. He says "we lost Lamarcus Aldridge". He had to of known something. This whole thing is fucked

    I don't want to sound like I'm in denial, but this certainly disagrees with Woj's sources which tend to be spot on.

    edit: remember this video was published before FA started, and after Woj said Blazers still very much in the hunt.

    What do you guys expect Neil to come out and say? "Yup! We lost LA! Rebuild time!"

    It kills any leverage in a possible S&T and could affect their negotiations with FA's during this period.

    Lmao...you guys will still be saying he's coming back when he's wearing a SAS jersey next year.

    HE. IS. GONE. Good riddance. Even if he came back, it'd be hard for me to respect him with how he's handled this entire situation.

    Dame is the leader this team deserves. I'll put my money on a player like him someday leading this team to a title.

    He's a damn assistant coach, he's in the loop more than all the media combined or ESPN or any poster on this board. Accept it LMA is gone.

    I couldn't care less if he stays or goes, obviously I want him to stay but I'm not trippin if he leaves. Still wouldn't takr what Hughes said seriously. It was done before FA even started.

    Conspiracy, they didn't let Dame know so he would sign the 5 year deal. They acted as if they were getting him back. Boom

    No because I don't want anyone on the team that doesn't want to be here I don't care how good they are. What did we accomplish exactly with this best PF in the game? One second round appearance? Meh

    I'll take 10 players that don't want to be here if it equals wins. He leaves so do about 25 wins next season.

    I'm sure he did but didn't feel it was his place to break the bad news.

    Cool then we might actually improve the team. We don't become a contender all of a sudden if aldridge comes back.
