    To think, he was gonna be out 6-8 weeks... OKC may have caught up. Brooks would still have his job. :MARIS61:

    None of these stories would be out here if we hadnt lost two games in spectacular fashion.
    As for two players saying they dont believe LA will return, it would be nice to know who because of its Gee/Affalo I wouldnt think what they said were worth a grain of salt.
    We may have to sell LA on staying but im not going to sweat that one out, unless its SA I dont think LA goes anywhere.

    Quick is a fucking tool. Remember who started the last "Aldridge is gonna bolt because he didn't renew his lease" fiasco

    In all honesty, I think Wes thinks LA is leaving. The interview he gave was very "I hate that it's all ending this way".

    I'm going to assume he's leaving so that if he doesn't I'll actually be pleasantly surprised for a change.

    I see why MIXUM does this.

    Screw that. Don't sign Lillard to a max contract extension no matter what based off his year long slump and shitfest performance in the Spurs series and this series. Let him work on his defense and his game this summer, and show improved defense, shot selection, and shooting percentages next year. There is no need to give him a max contract extension. spurs didn't Kawhi an extension off of winning Finals MVP. Dame's a restricted free agent in 2016, and we can match any contract. If he does not come back better, ship his ass out mid season for a top 3 pick.

    I like Rolo, but the couple of free throws he makes in a game is nothing compared to having a player who can go 20-20-5 on a given night like Jordan. Not that I think we're getting Jordan or that we can't win with Rolo.

    Well Neil had two years to break through to him and sell him on what life will be like as a Blazer under his control. He sold his soul on guys like Nic Batum, Dorell Wright, Mo Williams and even Damian Lillard to make his case. Was he successful? Only time will tell.

    I will say this if he does leave, I don't believe it's just something that he decided to do. I believe it was in the works for awhile. If that is the case, the propaganda that he spilled out through out the year about being Blazer for life is ridiculous and shameful

    Damn that tweet by Amy is news worthy. LMA seems like he never wanted to be here from the get go. It seems like he's still pissed that Chicago traded him and really wasn't a foever guy here.

    Quite frankly if LMA doesn't want to be here so be it don't let the door hit you on the way out.

    Yes, he doesn't because he decided to get surgery and be out 6-8 weeks when his ligament tore on his hand. Oh wait, he didn't?!?! Well why the fuck wouldn't he get the surgery if he didn't fucking care about the Blazers?!?!?! You would think he could just sit out, get the surgery and use his already solid achievements to get a max contract.!

    The way you people are jumping to conclusions is fucking ridiculous! Remember the source of who started this mess in the first place. The same douche bag that said Aldridge is demanding a trade (Quick's unnamed source) and using Aldridge's not renewing his lease as proof. Stop being fed by the stat padding whore Quick!

    Why are players talking about this now instead of focusing on their shitty performances?

    Seriously, Terry or Neil need to get these morons to shut up

    So who is this Amy chick and why should I believe her when she's trolling for hits by piggy backing on Quick's original troll?

    What shitty teammates would even respond to a question like that in the middle of the playoffs, whether they knew something, or had an opinion, or not? Is she giving out lap dances for information? Why "confide" in this person, or anyone, who is creating a locker room distraction during the playoffs?
