    I could see hanging his jersey in the concourse...stuffed with Blazers swag and sticks to hit it with located conveniently.

    God, let's put all of those names except the last one on one #12 jersey and retire them all.

    It really is ironic he'd say this considering how much heat the rest of the NBA gave us for retiring Clyde Drexler's number. Remember how pathetic other team's fans thought we were for retiring a number for a player who never won us a championship eventhough he's the greatest player, statistic wise, to ever play for the team.

    No retire Aldridge and Bates on the same jersey, that way AldridgeBates will be seen by all.

    He at least helped our team reach 2 finals appearances. Heck, he even matched up with the GOAT and gave us a great rivalry!

    Well technically Rick Adelman was a huge part of getting us into the finals and he still has vacation property in Bend... He really is more worthy. :cheers:

    Seems clear now that you just can't win a championship with #12 on your team.
    Maybe rather than retiring the number we need to ban it.

    Retire it with Tom Brady on it or Michael Jordan. I just read that he wore 12 for one game in 1990 when his jersey was stolen or something like that.

    Only way I can see this happening is if by some miracle our team actually does find success w/o him. If we are back in the playoffs soon & making post season runs while he fails to win a ring in SA, the loathing may turn to pity. At that point, we may feel differently about hanging his jersey. But if this spirals down into a half decade of lottery tanking seasons while he gets a ring (s) there? He's dead to Portland. He'll forever be remembered for his vow to return & be the greatest Blazer ever, only to stonewall his way through the season & into free agency where he left us high & dry with no assets in return, plunging down towards the bottom feeders of the league & scrapping for ping pong balls.

    Seriously, I love all of you fellow fools and I'm happy we're in this together. You make me laugh and that's what basketball is all about... Are we not entertained?

    Thanks! I'm glad to see you posting again!

    I think I should buy a custom-made Strothers #12 jersey.
