    Looks like a 4 year deal which means he gets to take advantage of a second huge contract before he's out of his prime. So really it means the Blazers fifth year and extra money really wasn't all that competitive in his decision making.

    adios, hope that aging team falls apart and you win nothing, can't say I am sorry you are gone as I don't think we would ever win a title with you as one of supposed big 2 or even 3

    Wow, I honestly didn't think he'd go.... we loved him and he knows how bad he's going to crush the fans and the franchise. It's tough to take another blow like this, being a Blazer fan entails a lot of heartbreak.

    34 does not seem to be "his prime", does it?

    Wish him the worst. Hope he loses every game and realizes what a big mistake he made

    He's shown his character and it didn't reveal a pretty picture. I've already forgotten about him. He's not worth anyone's time or attention.

    I wonder if he'll address Blazer fans. But I doubt it, I mean, we're not Texans after all. :)

    Super anxious to see how Popovich uses Aldridge. Up to this point, I think it's been up to Aldridge, and now that could change. Will be interesting.

    Pop is damn good at making 34yr old players look pretty prime.

    Our team will be fine. We have the makings of a young athletic team capable of running the pick and roll system with our undisputed franchise player in Dame! Go Blazers!!!

    How do you earn FA? I've always wondered. Why are others UFAs?

    I was thinking the same thing. Pops still rips Duncan's head off from time to time.

    and this is why it's not show-friends, it's show-business.

    Hard to trust players after this. It's tough because LMA is a good player, because we could've received something in return last year or the year before when he didn't sign extensions, because he made all the comments he did about "best ever" and "jersey in the rafters"...
