    Sorta empathize with him about the fishbowl syndrome, but he was never embraced like Roy was and Dame is.

    Blake and Lillard would be fun to watch.

    But there is no way LA is going for that.

    I think it is safe to say he hates the media in Portland. Can't blame him for that.

    I think you could possibly put Kevin Love's name in there.

    I saw LMA out plenty of times in Tualatin at the grocery store. Nobody ever bothered him.

    Same story. New players. Rinse. Repeat. Lillard in a few years.

    Yep, and now the media is jumping on the train. I've never seen a local media more invested in bringing down local teams. You should see/hear the Duck bashing that goes on by the sports' talk douchebags and print douchebags in the Oregonian.

    On a side note, is there a player in this league that wants to be in Portland? Allen may have better odds of keeping his players if he moves this disaster to the emerald city.

    As a fan, I get tired of the phoniness. Players saying and doing all the right things and feeling something the totally opposite. I think I spent 30 minutes watching LA interview kissing the arse of Portland fans only coming to find out now, none of it is true.

    The media is worse in large markets. He can't stand it, good luck with Chicago, or LA, or...

    Its not worse than quick. Or jaynes. They are total hacks. Piss cup? Looking through Window blinds. Quick has planted stories in the past for his buddy Damon.

    Not a bad article but its just pulling quotes that came when LA was frustrated and making a conclusion based on that. I bet you could do that with almost any player in any market. You could probably find a lot of the same stuff from Durant in OKC and write a very similar article.

    Kind of tough to use quotes from the end of a disappointing season as the basis for an article about somebody's state of mind three months later, but if we're being reasonable, LMA probably has ten reasons to want out for every one he has to stick around.

    So what does all this mean? Nothing. LMA isn't quite into the "trade me now or get nothing later" phase, so Olshey has some time to figure out what to do if indeed the clock is ticking and LMA leaving is inevitable.
