I totally agree with this - LMA leaving is way better than LMA staying. But the thing is, I always wanted to boo him / heckle him AS A BLAZER but couldn't bring myself to BECAUSE he was a Blazer (I've only heckled Derek Anderson AS a Blazer...maaaaybe Outlaw, but my memories are kinda fuzzy on that one). Now that public opinion has done a 180 - and he's no longer a Blazer - I finally get the chance to heckle the shit out of him. It's not because he left, it's just because I don't like him and he deserves to be heckled.
That he lives at in the off-season, aka summertime. You should know that it helps to be close to family during the school year.
I actually think Pops will sit him out on any road trip to Portland. He seems like a true understanding of the mentality of players. Knowing this, he knows Aldridge would fold
Would people PLEASE stop posting this meme. It's about as original as a Family Guy cut away, Wilhelm Scream and 'Run Forrest' yell all role into one.
Did you do something to drive LMA out of town? Then why are you apologizing for him? If he owes us nothing, we owe him nothing.
I don't know. People say it's not "cool" but I think Rob Manfred is doing a great job of changing the policies and the pace of the game. He doesn't get as much good press as Silver, but Manfred has done more in one year than Selig did in 10. Goodell is Satan as we all know.
Ok, being honest, at the end of the day it didn't bother me too much that Tex chose the Spurs. Despite the denial on some of our parts, it was a forgone conclusion. Which is the real problem. I didn't like the fake indecision and that we got left with nothing. Otherwise, whatever. He quite likely never gave two shits about Portland or Blazers fans. And I don't give two shits about him. I will neither boo nor cheer. Let the reemergence begin!
OK reading through this thread I'm starting to re-think the booing thing. I was for booing. Not just booing but the kind of booing that rocks the RG. The booing that is done with such passion you can feel the emotions of how much Blazers fans hated his decision. But in the end probably won't get that and in a way doesn't that just give LA more street cred . . . the more and louder you boo the better player you were for that team. I could see the spurs all smiling giving props to LA who embraces his new team by smiling back. Don't want to see applause as don't want to be a martyr and to hell with being classy, this is a sporting event not a business dinner. I really like the idea of a chant and wondering if that can be organized (throwing marshmallows will get you kicked out and possibly charged with something). In the end I will probably end up booing being frustrated there is no other way to voice my displeasure with his choice . . . but it is very predictable and kind of lame. (Note: I'm free to change my mind again given how neurotic Aldridge has made me this summer)
