    Touché. Guess some people are just unforgiving a holes who never say things they regret or change their minds despite ever changing circumstances. :)

    When you're surrounded by "yes men" and people who are afraid to step on your fragile ego, eventually you lose touch with reality. Look at guys like Mel Gibson and Tom Cruise.

    I don't have anything against LA personally. I think he's a pretty good dude and a really good basketball player. My problem with him is with the latter statement, however. I think he has the talent and body to be a GREAT basketball player. What he seems to lack is the drive to become that. Going to SA just was an easy way out for him.

    During the timeout I was thinking about the Roy shot the whole time, and then it played out exactly like that in front of my eyes. I thought maybe I was a wizard for a second. Or at least a really powerful warlock.

    It's no excuse. My sperm donor left when I was 2 months old. I made a choice at an early age (13 or 14) that I would NEVER be anything like him. When my ex wife was pregnant, I even dropped my last name so MY son would have absolutely no connection to him. Now, I'm sure I'm not the best Papa but my son regularly tells me I am. And that's all that matters.

    You bring up a good point, re: last names. I know it's now OT, but I have a friend who has a 3 year old daughter. Her father (to call him a dad is an insult to dads), pretty much didn't do shit when it came to raising her. They are no longer married (in fact, she's getting married again), but she insists that her daughter keeps her fathers last name.

    I'm not saying she should take on her new step dads last name (that's a choice she can make later in life), but I argued that she should be given her moms last name, since he didn't have much at all to do with her.

    He didn't earn the right, imho (not that my opinion matters for shit here). But it opened up a wound, in that HER father didn't have as big of an impact on her life as she'd like, but her mom kept his last name after they divorced, and so did their kids. Despite the fact that he had little to do with them growing up and it wasn't until recently that they have a passable relationship.

    So in that regard, I understand and respect his want to be close to his kids. But I still stand by my comment of having his kids here. It's not impossible, and not everyone gets to pick where they live. I can respect putting his kids first, but it would be easier to respect it if he even tried to have them live here.

    I'll never root against Wes, Rolo and Patty. (I will against their teams when they play the Blazers but not them personally.)

    For me Id add Channing Frye to that list. I always liked that guy for some reason. Ill also root for Steve Blake. I really do hope we bring him back as a coach. Kaman too. Kaman is an outdoors man and I think would love to settle in the NW.

    Remember LMA had the same relationship "issues" with B Roy. They were distant and didn't communicate well enough. Being that Roy and Lillard are both true leaders, loved the community and were involved, I'm gonna guess LaMarcus is a distant, egotistical twat. He'll have the same "issues" in SA, it's him whose the problem.
