    I'm going to fuck someone up if this happens. This is the nightmare scenario. I'll make English Soccer Hooligans look like chinese 2nd graders doing homework

    Wow Stein just made me throw up..

    Name another player that gave up $43M (cap rising) in guaranteed money to change teams? LMA must really hate the Blazers If this is true

    Boogie is not LeBron. LA is Bosh, and Kobe is D-Wade, but Boogie is not LeBron.

    Honestly... I rather the Lakers land LA than Cousins... Still, I would boo LA till my dick fell off if he leaves for the F*kers.

    This didn't come from Adrian Woj. Had it, I'd be really concerned.

    I am in awe in how quiet both sides the ORG and LA's side is in this to thus point.

    He doesn't know shit. He basically said SA has the best chance, and that LA passed Dallas. His colleague thinks Portland has a 50% chance and the rest are slightly behind. No one knows what LA is thinking except maybe his agent.

    I view this as good news, because the Lakers don't make sense for LA, and I thought Dallas was a legit threat. I'm starting to feel more and more confident that we will keep LA despite national media claiming the opposite. Especially considering all the Players SA has to pay this summer as well.

    Maybe Aldridge is doing this and will resign, but he likes to freak out the fanbase so he'll be super loved when he does resign.

    yeah, that's it.

    Why would olshey consult LA about the batum trade if he knew he was gone? Olshey has made it a point of emphasis that the organization will be players first. He's catering to Aldridge right now. Batum is the first step. That's my opinion.

    Sadly, that could very well be it. Shameful that the business is willing and able to work on a everyday Joes thoughts and feelings and then getting off on it.

    I'm sorry but I'm calling BS on trading Batum making LA more likely to stay considering Wes wants huge money coming off a career altering injury...,,

    I just don't see how that could be catering to LA, does LA want a weaker team in a contention sense?

    Theoretically trading batum clears cap space to go after someone like deandre or hibbert. Don't see how that makes Portland weaker.

    We only are saving 3 mil, that's not make or break money.

    It is when were talking deandre or hibbert. We couldn't afford them with batum on the books. Now we can.

    It's catering to him if It was a mandate for the man to be moved in order for him to even consider resigning.

    Well I'm glad someone knows Aldridge inside and out that posts in this forum.
