Lillard's and Aldridge's relationship. (He will come back Portland one day)

Wow....

 

I have never really thought of options 1, 2 3 or 4. Lillard is first option because he is our best player and the point guard. After that it depends on match ups and who might have the hot hand. GS doesn't seem to have an issue with lots of scorers and if a player like Cousins can defer then no reason why Aldridge can't. His window for a championship is shrinking and being with Pops for a few years probably helped mature him

 

That's what I'm saying.

 

I’m saying he’s overrated. On a bad team he will get you an ok shot so he’s a benefit. On an already good offensive team, those ok shots don’t add much value and don’t offset the negative chemistry baggage he brings.

 

I think he’s “rated” basically exactly as what he should be. He’s not a superstar, He’s not a shoe in for All-NBA, he’s a legit bottom tier All-Star, He’s definitely top 30ish in the NBA, but also definitely not top 15.
I suppose its fair to think he’s not even “that” good, but I never hear anyone talk about how he’s better then that.

 

Be careful to not split hairs!!!

There is only talented and not talented. So which is it!@??????
You arent allowed to split hairs with tiers. Hell it doesnt even make sense, i was told!!!
Lol

 

Thanks buttercup. Butthurt brown is a very flattering color for you.You aren't master baiting in the forum again are you?

 

When you posted like Orion just did the other day you tried to hide behind it not being about anyone specific. So I'll say the same thing you told me, it's awfully presumptuous to think that post is about you.

(See how ridiculous that sounds)

 

Non ones is buthurt “buttercup” (you know when you use that word on others its a clear indication you are the one butthurt, lol?)

Just having some fun and being fair.

Am i wrong? After all, you said it and now its brought up to someone else and your butthurt about it to call names???

Lmao.
Cool man.

If what i said bothers you maybe you shouldnt have said it. Lol.


Own
Your
Shit

 

Some people cant own thier shit man.

Same story different day is all
No biggy at all.

 

Who needs a movie when you have a thread like this that keeps on giving!

 

This is why he should not be on the team. I already work with a person like this and it is a draining experience of life. Personally, I would rather have a hard worker willing to go the extra mile without the baggage.

 

He has had an occaisional top 30-ish looking season, last year for example, but he is top 60-ish not top 30-ish. The very fact that you needed to say Lamarcus Aldridge is not a superstar tells me he is overrated. That goes without saying.

BPM for past 4 years: Average rank is 59th among players with 800+ minutes.
RPM for past 4 years: Rank of average RPM is also about 60th. +1.8 (+0.8 off, +1.0 def)

The difference between 30th and 60th is not small. He is approx wins added by RPM rank:
15th adds about +8 wins to a team in 82 games, playing 36 min
30th adds about +5 wins to a team in 82 games, playing 36 min
60th adds about +3 wins to a team in 82 games, playing 36 min

 

I said he’s not a superstar because his distractors always act like you say anything positive about him and you’re over rating him.

He had the 8th best effeciency rating in the NBA last year according to this.

Discussing whether or not a PF with a killer turn around would help this team or not is comical. Who would want a player who would force the defense to double team down low leaving shooters open? PF is our weakness right now. I understand the hate when he left and some on here thought he was soft when here. Ok. Fine. He still would he a huge boost to Dame and any other shooter left open because of what LA brings.

Off the court and really the rumors about how he wasn't a good guy with staff etc could be true but people change all the time. He apparently has and Dame seems to feel good about it so I'm good if Dame's good.

If Collins improves and takes the position maybe LA can finally be that role model he failed so badly at years ago.

 

I almost agree with this. I consider myself the “baggage” of S2.....but aren’t I worth it?

 

Haha. You remind me of my buddies from Benson high school in the 90s. So, I don't view you as baggage.

 

See you just took a beutiful moment between me and the Hobbs guy and ruined it.




But to be honest, if I had known he went to Benson, I would of had him on IGNORE! #BAM #TechManSuck
