    But, where would he be moving them to? It wouldn't make sense for him to be permanently moving out of his house if he didn't have a new location pre-determined, which would suggest tampering.

    So, I also am not swayed.

    Preparation, perhaps. He's an UFA and has every right to move his stuff out if he wants.

    There's no tampering in this IMO.

    But where is he moving it to? Storage? How would that make sense?

    1 unnamed player says LMA is leaving.

    You know, if he's moving, and wants out, I hope he just comes out now instead of making people wait.

    It's not like he's be tampering with anything or cause Portland to get a worse trade. If it's known he's gone, it's not like the Blazers or the other team don't already know.

    My reference to tampering was only suggesting that if he's moving to the city where he will play next year, that can't actually be determined unless he's negotiating with said team while still under contract. If he just says that he knows he's leaving Portland, that would be a different story. Although I can't for the life of me fathom that he would make that decision prior to having an opportunity to talk to other teams first.

    Got that. I just meant that if he's made up his mind AND this rumor is true (I think it's probably similar to the rumors of so and so being traded to Portland because they saw him at the airport), he should just say it outright.

    I mean, some think he DID outright say it in the exit interviews (but you can read whatever you want out of those), but I mean just be honest with us.

    I think most fans would rather a player just be honest and say "I've decided to move on to another team instead of re-signing with Portland".

    Sure, it would sting but I think most people would eventually get over it quicker than if he lies or is purposely coy about things.

    Agreed. If we have to remove the Band-aid, just rip it off.

    It's not new. LMA has owned a house at Newport Beach for a couple of years. Paul Allen and Neil Olshey went there last summer to offer him a contract extension:

    He also owns a house outside Dallas:

    I'm pretty sure that at $20M per season, getting a nice pad wherever he wants to play next year won't be a big issue.

    I'm sure he is honest with Neil & Paul. I'm sure they know something us fans don't.

    I have a close friend who is moving everything out of his house because he's getting ready for a major remodel.

    That could be exactly what LMA is getting ready to do.

    Maybe, regardless if he comes back or not, he wants a new house.

    Maybe he's enjoying his Dallas home till he can find a house in L.A this summer?

    This conjecture or new, or the same stuff that was mentioned during our playoff series?
