    Ok. Sorry if I sounded like I was taunting you; I wasn't. I was genuinely curious.

    Good news for Aldridge: he'll win a title next year, just like Clyde and Sheed did right after they left us. This really sucks. I'm really down about this. I thought we'd eventually get a championship run out of them. Kevin Love, PLEASE come back to Portland!

    The Spurs are done. I don't care if they add LA. The core is old as fuck. If they have to move players and let Green go just to sign LA, they're even worse off than before.

    Look at it this way, we lost LMA, but we got MM back, a solid trade in my book :auto:

    yeah, I'm not looking forward to another rebuild. And that is what this is turning into. Three years after the hiring of our General Manager.

    Trader Bob anyone?

    Shoulda kept Nic - he'd work beautifully in that sort of system!

    So Cal. But there is a chance that Daddy misses him and can talk him into taking the Blazers offer seriously where he otherwise wouldn't.

    BTW, this would be a better system for him than the one that is being run in Cleveland.

    You must be thrilled. Batum and Aldridge were your least favorite Blazers

    We may have to take it in steps. Love is growing on me. I know what you are saying though, but if we can get him I think we take him and get defensive help next year. And some cheap vet this year to hold us over. Throw Vonleh and Leonard out there to get experience.

    Love + Deandre would be a sick duo. Just need to figure out some wings. But we're losing Wes regardless it seems like.

    I don't view it as losing Wes

    Wes is done. Ruptured achilles is nothing to mess around with as far as giving him any kind of meaningful contract. Not even close to being worth it.

    Need to move on from him as well
