    LMA is my dude, my favorite player and yes I'm pretty upset he's leaving. However, I also realize things changed completely when Wes went down. If winning is more important to him (than legacy), I fully understand his change of heart and can't begrudge him for it.

    Why would I be pissed?!?! The dude played through an injury, hoping he wouldn't have to leave. I think many of us are forgetting that Aldridge didn't have to do that. He wanted us to win. He wanted us to stick together. The moment Wes went down everything changed.

    I think Aldridge meant what he said about being a Blazer for life. At least his actions on the court proved that to me.

    Why do you think Allen looked so deflated when he went into the locker room and found out about Wes? Allen knew what was gonna happen because of it.

    You can try and make Aldridge a villain all you want. Whatever it takes for you to get through it. I, for one, would rather look at it as Aldridge doing his best to keep us together.

    Only thing that's unforgivable is Aldridge bolting to the Lakers. Obviously that isn't happening

    WTF? That was a tweet by Eric Gunderson saying "Lillard visit "much ado about nothing". He appears to have deleted it, thereby destroying my awesome Shakespeare pun.

    he deleted it because it was pointed out to him that the much ado about nothing line was actually in regards to Riley's dinner with him, not Damian.

    I always liked Eric's writing but I think Lamarcus refuting his rumor source put them at odds

    You are fucking clueless if you think Phoenix or any other team other than Spurs have a shot.

    They offer better long term prospects than the spurs. He can also be the main guy.

    If he goes to the Suns, the jealousy/insecurity/underappreciated rumors will be confirmed. At this point it wouldn't surprise me.

    A phone call is all LA would allow when he is meeting with every other team on the planet sometimes more than once? Wow....kind of a slap in the face.
