    Now I'm starting to understand why Dame went on a world tour and avoided the press here until it's over

    This is good news, just because I didn't know we had two starters left who he could ask.

    http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...dridge-Has-Informed-Blazers-Of-Plans-To-Leave

    LaMarcus Aldridge has already informed the Portland Trail Blazers that he plans to sign elsewhere, according to a Western Conference executive.

    The Blazers traded away Nicolas Batum on the eve of the draft in what appeared to be "a rebuilding move."

    ESPN's Chris Broussard cited a source saying Aldridge was 99.9 percent certain of leaving the Blazers.

    Aldridge will consider the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks.

    So Aldridge is considering the Atlanta Hawks over the Portland Blazers?

    He'll be first team everything in the east if he goes there.

    I was wrong last time, so take this with a grain of salt. I'm pretty sure they can't talk to agents either.

    To me, the fact that we hear nothing from LMA confirms that he is leaving.

    Lakers just picked Russel in the draft so does that mean he'll be a Blazer?

    Doubtful. If anything he's a king.

    Like most ex-Blazers, if he leaves, LA will learn a valuable lesson too late...Portland is one hell of a place to be an NBA player. We may be lilly white, but there isn't a city that treats its players better.

    Dame loves it here, at least.

    He and Wes are the heart and soul here anyway (until Wes leaves).

    I only saw the mofo play like a champion once. That was in the houston series, and that seemed almost like a fluke after seeing how atrocious he played in this years playoffs. Aldridge can be considered part of the reason why we lost that first round series. Fuck him, if he wants to burn bridges and talk shit then he can be shit.

    Bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit. He was a monster on defense against Memphis. He outplayed both Gasol and Randolph in that series.

    Cool. Think of all the money Paul Allen just saved. He can spend that on Wilson.
