    Out of Nic, LA and Lopez, I think Lopez looks best in his new uniform.

    It's ok we have Meyers Leonard! Plus Wes & Aldridge only count for 7 games.

    I thought Jamal was done as a Clipper?

    Are you going to keep arguing points no one made this year?

    Because if you do, 4 words will haunt you for the rest of the time you post.

    Anyone notice that Plumlee has basically been a Lopez replacement his entire NBA career?

    "Never intended?" Seriously? I, for one, believe him when he says he really didn't decide until the last minute...

    Wes and Rolo would both still be here if LaMarcus had decided to stay. I am convinced that LaMarcus fully intended to stay, right up until Wes went down.

    Yeah but you also said there was no way he'd leave in the first place, so your judgement has proven to be inaccurate.

    I believe that LaMarcus felt that the Blazers had the pieces to make a run at a title, which before Wes and Robin got injured, they did. For whatever reason, that stretch of games they lost in mid-January to the Clips, Spurs, and Griz just killed their confidence. Lillard's shooting slump after the All-Star Break didn't help, as well as the Aaron Afflalo disaster.

    Do we really need to argue about LaMarcus leaving again? Some people have a grudge against him, some people don't. It's really that simple.. Just let it go.

    Just the opposite. His fanboys are hurt by defending him, then getting kicked down. His critics are so relieved to be rid of his playing at half-potential, that we're quiet.


    Lillard is biased. They are friends from being in the same draft...camps, team workouts, etc.

    Defending LA was easy...defending Nico which I did for 7 years..now that was tough.

    Popovich will get Aldridge to play 100%. Then this board will lament the loss. But Aldridge never would have passed 50% here, so don't let it bother you when he's a superstar.

    I actually think LA looks pretty good in a Spurs Jersey.

    The goal for us this year will NOT being drawn into the "what about LMA now that he's SA" story line. It's a battle once you talk about it, is lost. Every newspaper reporter and B(Leecher) Report hack will mention his absence with every breath they draw. If Blazer fans don't make like Dr Evil and go "shhhhhh" every five seconds, our season will be lost.

    I was probably Nico's biggest fan for a long time here. I hope he is making progress with that finding himself thing again.

    while the wins may not come as often as we like I think this will be a fun team and competitive team to root for with a reasonable chance for a couple of guys to surprise, we'll see
