Well they haven't actually left yet have they? We're forgetting a golden rule, unless it's a woj bomb it ain't real. Nothing is going to be official until the lamarcus shoe drops. That's how it was always going to go.
They will when they have more precise terms to their agreements. Robins is contingent and Wesley's dollar amount depends on the Mavs other moves. They aren't greeting their new fanbases either.
Seriously mags? As much as I loye this place and am a diehard for ever now, I'm thoroughly embarrassed at the predetermined judgement and downright hatred some of our fellow fans have stated. If ANYONE reads some of this stuff even remotely connected to Aldridge, Rolo OR Wes for that matter, I wouldn't want to come back. We call ourselves the most loyal, best fans out there but look at how thin our glass houses are? Yeah it all sucks, but life is about change and the universe is about evolution. We have nothing to blame but our own emotions, that we cant seem to keep under control. We are like children who don't know the meaning of love. There are four kinds... Love of all things... the Universe Love of Pets, Friends, relatives, the ones close to us Love of our life partner and soulmate False love. Selfish love. The kind of love that sounds like this..."Why would you leave me? How could you do this to me? Don't you love me??? I hate you!!!!!" Thats not love, but thats what we sound like. If we call our selves fans and loyal, then lets start manning up, growing up, pull the tricycle that's been shoved up so many of our asses out and accept things without hatred and resentment. I have not read any other teams forums, but if I were a laker or houston troll, I would be laughing my ass off at us, biting the hand that has fed us for 9 years. For that matter, how do we not know free agents pass on Portland because of the bipolar fan base? Love you while your tere, but always have that, "what have you done for me lately," attitude. If I were Greg Monroe and were informed/read the crap talk on here about him and LMA, I would have chosen Milwaukee too...
Bro, I defend almost all the players on this squad... I'm just tripping on why they haven't said anything yet.
Im not pointing you out by any means, Im a fan of most of your posts. Im saying our fellow fans. And don't get me wrong. I have had my emotions get the better of me over this a times, but we must remember , forums are open public statements for any and alls consumption. Im not saying I would cheer LMA if he leaves and then returns as opposition, but im not the tomato throwing type. Dude did us right the best he knew many times over. No one is perfect, and I bet every one of us on this forum has changed our minds about a big decision in our past. I thought Portland was supposed to be a relaxed, laid back bunch of pot smokin hippies peddlin 10 speeds, but we are acting more like crack fiends from the alleys of LA. Lol. Just sayin ya know?...And generalizing. I know its not all.
Well lets see. The group that won us 50 games back to back is gone. Our franchise player Lamarcus is more than likely gone. We couldn't land Monroe. Our only signings are Aminu and Davis. Awaiting "the decision" all the good free agents have been dealt. So I mean yeah, if you're a die hard blazer fan you kinda get all these emotions about it. Anger,sadness, uncertainty. Feels very gloomy. I mean yeah everything will be good but this is happening to us NOW so of course we are all gonna act out instead of go "wow, Lamarcus is leaving, I am okay with this. Wow Aminu and Henderson as our wings, much pleased.". Just saying
There is a difference between going all Aliens " Were Fucked maaan. What are we gonna do?" and making personal attacks on an individual none of us know on that type of level. Jersey burning parties are not a step forward in the grieving process. Its an act of anarchy in defiance of what??? Someones personal choice to move on? How about we put this another way... We are the childish girlfriend tossing all of his shit out the third story window. Not because he cheated on us, but simply because he moved on. Thats more lunacy than emotional. HOw is the girlfriend viewed by the general public? I am saying some people should check themselves before just tossing such hatred out there. Don't you want to show potential future free agents how classy the fan base is here, or would you rather be the laughing stock of the nba? High road or low road. lll take the high road. He broke up with us. Find a corner. Shed a tear. Take your time, go cold to him if you like, but move on without the hatred and potential threatening behavioral posts. Best thing we can do as a franchise and a fan base.
