    "Hey Adrian, Neil here. I have a press conference at 10am, think you can say something about me not knowing what LMA wanted to do until he signed with the Spurs? I don't want to have to lower myself to answer questions from the local media."

    What do you think Woj does to maintain his network of contacts? You think he's just blowing people?

    Adrian trades favors for information.

    He would still get those trade favors. What else?

    Typical overreaching bullshit from the ugly bald one.

    Seriously, fuck him and his nonsense, and anyone that believes it.

    So for the last like month seemingly, if not longer he's beaten the he's leaving, move on, drum. He leaves, and there goes his story, so now the new one's going to be neil didn't do enough during free agency, like doc did. And people still read this hack and support his stuff? When it's abundantly cleat he shifts his focus for whatever gets him more attention.

    Not really. Trying to get LMA back is a bad idea, and would just embarrass the franchise. Good for LAC for getting their guy back - but that wasn't going to happen here - and that's a GOOD thing.

    I am 100% moved on from Aldridge. I don't want him back. I am much happier with retooling around Damian/Meyers/CJ and moving forward, hopefully with a tougher "Damian Lillard" type team identity and a more efficient offensive philosophy than a contested-jump-shot-shooting LaMarsha refusing to play to his and the team's strengths.

    Cut the cord and move on.

    It's Dame's team now, and we will be better or it.

    I suspect Olshey and Allen feel the same.

    If canzano is trying to turn people against Neil, Neil must be doing a good job.

    Great post!!!

    I suspect the same thing. I could only imagine Brass saying "Man we gave him everything but the kitchen sink and the diva was still not happy".

    We have a leader that wants to be here. A leader that is invested enough with the team that he works on his game when others are on vacation. A leader who meets and practices with summer league scrubs. A leader that is just as invested with new players by communicating to them. A leader that isn't in a shell.

    That was a night before his announcement. Okay so he's 8 hours off? Lol

    I think our team knew the moment Monroe didn't sign. It also maybe why we fired Kim as well.

    The Aldridge/Jordan situations couldn't be more different and leave it to Canzano to fail to understand that. Jordan is the weak-minded third banana to Paul and Griffin. He's totally susceptible to a good pitch from those guys plus Doc. Aldridge was the guy who craved recognition as the best player on the Blazers, but never seemed secure in that role. Having the challenger to his mantle as top dog come along and try to make a last minute sales pitch, even with PA and Olshey backing him up, had zero chance vs. the Spurs selling him on the recognition he's likely to get as the heir apparent to Duncan.

    Stupid.

    I think Aldridge is trying REALLY hard to make it seem like it was some kind of difficult decision for him. I don't think it was. I don't think we had any chance in hell of re-signing him. That's not saying it was a forgone conclusion up until the playoffs, but his behavior during the playoffs seem pretty indicative that he had already made up his mind.
