    That wasn't really the point I took away from it, but I guess that's one way to look at it. Honestly, if that thing was just a PR move by Olshey then I think you've found the legitimate target for our ire.

    Yeah Oshey is definitely leaving this organization and shitty media the first chance he gets. That's a bullshit article by BlazersEdge.

    We're fucked

    Yeah regardless who told him to say it (or not), it came from HIS mouth. Pretty fucking heartless saying those things knowing it wasn't true. A trade should have been in the works a long ass time ago.

    Aldridge is just trying to save face. He lied about that and he's lying about it now.

    Think about it...

    Didn't we see him going up to Clyde and saying "I'm going to break your records?" Was that scripted too? The dude changed his mind and doesn't want to be made out like a villain.

    Deal with it

    There have been rumors and rumblings for several years that LaMarcus was looking to bolt. Whether or not he lied is immaterial to me. I'm more irritated by Neil's lack of foresight at this point.

    Exactly, they conspired. If this is true than more power to Neil and his acting, showing LA how to act. But holy fuck here come lol the rumors. Now joe freeman has to come out and say something about this shit because he was responsible for the article

    Who gives a F if that's even true, Aldridge said it and that's all that matters.

    The only thing that matters to me is this: Did Olshey know that LaMarcus was going to leave and if so, why didn't he act proactively?

    I'd say that if it's true it's more important that Neil didn't try to trade his ass when he had the chance.

    Afterwards Olshey had Aldridge call up Canzano and tell him he's a great journalist.
