    If San Antonio trades Kawhi (or even if they don't) I can see them wanting to move Aldridge.
    If they DO move Leonard, it's rebuild time!
    If they go all-out to convince Leonard to stay, then maybe they figure he'd be happier without Aldridge.

    Now, a trade that makes sense to me is Aldridge for Love. But suppose they don't do that, I'd welcome him home. And it might even make Dame happier - I don't get the impression he was ever mad at Aldridge.

    I don't want him. I want him to toil away on a shitty team that he thought was going to immortalize him in Texas history. This is one of the best examples of sports karma that I have ever seen. He has been seen as a bust. He has been a part of their downfall. I love it. Let him waste the rest of his career there.

    Bust? He was All NBA 2nd Team last season and carried a sad sack supporting cast to playoffs. And Pop said he was one of the best players he's ever coached.

    LA bitched his way out of Portland. I will never forget that. But, I like winning. He was All NBA second team last year for a reason. I also believe in and practice forgiveness. I would love watching him play with our current team.

    I wonder if the Blazers have any type of counselor on the payroll. From Aldridge to Meyers Markle we have some people doing some irrational things. Being a 27 year old millionaire doesn't mean you have everything figured out.

    If Aldridge could have seen himself from the outside maybe things would be different for him.

    That being said, I get where he's coming from. I would welcome LaMarcus back for sure, but I have felt the same way as well. Enough that year to name my fantasy basketball team "Benedict Aldridge".

    I would welcome LMA and have supported him on the Spurs - but I doubt he ever comes back. His legacy in Portland doesn't matter as much to him and he doesn't have the kind of 'foresight' Lebron has.

    It's a shame because I do think the LMA-Dame Blazers (that were on pace to win 60+ games) with the additions of CJ, Nurk, Harkless, Davis, etc would've been enough to win one hard earned championship.

    I would welcome him back. But, I'd make him understand that he needs to block out the
    other team's big men so Dame could get all of the rebounds a la OKC. "You see, LMA,
    we want Lillard to become the leading rebounder in blazers history...."

    If Lamarcus returned I would like his first game back to be for the jersey retirement of #12...Rick Adelman!
