I'd like to know if you have ever been married or engaged and if so, how many times???????? Ive been engaged twice, married one of the two. People change and so do their hearts, emotions and minds.... Stop being so damn childish about this and move on. Your doing nothing but making it worse for this organization and the next set of Blazers to feel welcomed without concern of backlash, if they do anything we don't like. GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE and think about the future. Dwelling on the past does nothing..... No wonder free agents don't want to come here,. buncha, childish crybaby, fairweather fans that look for anything negative to try to shoot down the positive in our players and organization. No empathy for someones change of heart and zero tolerance for imperfections. No one is perfect. Start seeing the good and not the bad people and you might find this and your life a little happier and easier to live...... (Obviously this isnt meant for all, just the ones who call LMA a liar as if its just black and white like that....)
I don't think they need to move on any faster than they want. Let them vent! I'm glad it's over and at this point I am glad he is gone. I don't consider him a Blazer now or in the past; he is nothing.
I've been married three times. I've been divorced twice. Both of those I divorced lied, cheated and took half of what I worked hard to build. It's all good though. I was able to work though them both and got stronger from the deception. I assume our team will as well.
Also for those same people, there were reports that you all chose to ignore 2 years ago that he wanted out
I think he's a liar but I'm looking forward to next season. I don't think we are lottery bound. But we lost 4 of our 5 starters, one of them being our franchise player in a couple weeks. It's pretty fresh and makes me feel uncertain about the future. Will we be fine? Yes. Lma has cemented himself in the Raymond Felton touch the ball every time and get boos category. That's that
I will concede that in the midst, emotions run high and things are often said not truly meant. I am just not the one to get on my knees and beg and then sit in a corner for days balling tears and tossing hatred out there and then later be viewed as a child having a temper tantrum. The FACT of the matter is, NONE of us knows ALL the details of ALL the conversations internally over the last years, months and days regarding LMA. But America is alsways so quick t assume, convict and blast without proof and full disclosure of the situation. Some of Portlands' fans indeed acts very young at times.
The true SIGN of a MATURE man is that he USES his shift key to EMPHASIZE important words in his SENTENCES.
I will also say this.... Yesterday was the worst fourth Portland has had in recent history... no matter how good your fireworks display was... Honestly though, Id just much rather see us try to stay positive and not just sit around trying to fling shit at someone who has turned their back on us. Whether you agree or disagree, he had his reason and they were valid. Lets have a bit of respect for his family. With our new era in its infancy, there is no better time to turn the page and take the high road and show the next team that we are proud, mature, loyal, faithful fans. The best in the NBA We are tolerant of players imperfections and understand the difficult choices in their lives.
Funny, so emphasizing is not allowed and considered childish around here? And this coming from a staff member?
I lie all the time, so does almost everyone. Doesn't change the fact that he is a big stupid liar. Boo hoo.
Orion: To answer your original question, I have been married once - for 38 years and counting. Sometimes, people change and relationships are broken beyond repair. Sometimes, people are just lazy and/or cowards who cut-and-run rather than trying to fix problems. Since EVERY relationship has rough patches, they are forever unhappy. I'm pretty sure which of those categories LMA fits into. YMMV.
He's a liar AND a coward. He didn't even the stones to talk to Lillard on the phone it was all text messages!!
