    He would be if he was OK being the 3rd option. But that is a pretty big if.
    Even when he was still here I felt that was the ideal role for him. At least from our perspective.

    You don't honestly think that comments on a fan message board have an impact on free agent signings, do you?

    If it does, then they're not a good candidate for an NBA player. They'd need to seriously grow some thicker skin of shit we say bothers them.

    Know what else will be on Pops? At least two more rings before Aldridge leaves San Antonio.

    Since wook was 100% convinced LaMarcus wasn't leaving in the first place, I think we can agree that he's not the best predictor in the world, so I'm pretty sure this would be a safe bet to make.

    No. But I do think that this sort of chatter emboldens fans to boo players which absolutely does not help our cause. Players talk too. Portland has enough obstacles in their way as is, no need to add angry classless fanbase to the list.

    Of all the reasons why players don't come to the Blazers, or leave the Blazers, fans booing the players has never been mentioned as a reason.

    EVERY fan base in EVERY sport boo's players, former or not.

    Every fanbase has their own Bozo the Canzano stirring the pot too, but the Blazer fanbase has largely risen above the sort of ugliness he promotes. I'm absolutely positive that Portland's great supportive fanbase was more then just mentioned by both Festus and Turner when they signed this past offseason. Thats one of the few aspects that the small market Blazers have going for them over other destinations and one of the only things that we can somewhat control.

    Do you really want the Blazers to be viewed by the players as the small market with the bitter entitled fans?

    Cavs fans booed the shit out of LeBron. Didn't stop him from coming back. Hell, he cited their plights as one of the reasons he DID come back

    Very unique & different situation you're siting seeing as LBJ grew up a Cavs fan.
