Ed Davis - They respect you, even when you leave

Fuck-in-A right! Preach!!

 

I would have cheered for him if he had not went on that rant about wanting to be the best blazer ever. Now I will just not say anything when he is announced.

 

Booing a franchise player that left us out to dry will not scare away any current or future players at all, any human being that has any interest in sports can understand that. I hope LMA gets booed every time he touches the ball, and I really think it will eat at him in his head and he'll have a terrible shooting night. Cuz he's a fragile bitch who needs to be coddled and told he's the best player not Damian. Lol.

 

Also, anyone else notice Ed Davis is the new LaMarcus in interviews? Count the "You Know's".

I find myself with two questions on my mind: 1) Was this team ever going to win a championship with LaMarcus as its centerpiece? and 2) If he had resigned here this summer would the Blazers' brass ever have had the balls to trade him and get value for him before the wheels had completely fallen off in 4 years time? I'm fairly certain the answer is no to both of those queries, so personally I'm pretty happy; happy for me that team gets a fresh start and gets off the "pretty good but nothing great" treadmill and happy for him that he can go someplace else and be second fiddle and maybe have a legit chance to chase a title - the guy did get drafted into one of the most dysfunctional and demoralizing eras of Blazers basketball and he made the team palatable to watch for several years in the wake of a lot of broken dreams. So all I will say is, "Sláinte!"

 

Me too! I signed on and clicked the thread to say he's my new favorite player... unfortunately it turned out to be about a former player who fully earned his paycheck and decided to leave. I won't cheer for him because he could've been the greatest player in franchise history and he decided to go a different way. I won't boo him because he earned every penny he made here. He didn't connect with the fans or the franchise and he's just a guy with some nice stats and that's it. He is just part of the past and I don't care about him or his career any more than he cares about mine. I've seen Ed dive on the floor for loose balls more times since he's been here than I did in #12's last 9 years. Ed is exactly the kind of player that Rip City loves and will be adored here.

 

I would just retire Zach Randolph's number, but have it 12 for some odd reason

 

Rick Adelman was #12

 

Rick Adelman was the original #12....
