    He's not going to LA. He may have a home there, but he wants to win. That team ain't winnin' soon.

    Gonna be interesting to see how this plays about because if he made up his mind at this time of the year and then spread it through the team then that is f'd up imo.

    For some reason I can't get the tweets to show up. I know they are working, but I can't see them. WHat's that say?

    Regards to last RT, I've been told by 2 players in the #Blazers locker room they do not believe LaMarcus Aldridge will return next season.

    Ugh. I'm still certain he'll come here, though. I'm holding out hope. I can't believe in this playoff, so I'll shift it over to LMA staying.

    Say he does leave, is he a hero or a villain? Lets be honest he has yet to really lead us anywhere outside of that first round victory last year. Then you have the issue of him saying he "wants to retire the greatest blazer ever", and now the questionable timing of all this news surfacing.

    Hopefully he stays on condition we get a new coach.

    If he leaves I can't fault him. To be honest, if Pop told him he would stay another 5 or so years, he needs to go to San Antonio. And, the fact that we have routinely underappreciated the guy during his time here, he probably doesn't feel as loyal to us as fans would hope.

    On the other hand, for the comments he's made about how it would be just a formality of resigning here last year, and that he wanted to retire the greatest blazer ever, I would boo the shit out of him everytime he came to play here.

    Amen. I couldn't hate him for it, but I could certainly boo the shit out of him for it.

    I've got nothing against Lamarcus if he leaves. He been a great player for this franchise. If he wants to move somewhere closer to home or where he will have a higher profile, he can. This isn't exactly Palm Springs when it comes to player destinations.

    You're right, we have far less golf courses and a much younger population.

    I sat next to her on press row. She works for Canzano. I highly doubt players are telling her that.

    I will say one thing for certain. If Aldridge leaves, you blow the whole fucking thing up. I'm talking a huge revamp with everyone but Dame, CJ and Leonard. Everyone else must go.

    This team was designed around Aldridge. We saw how badly we sucked when Aldridge wasn't in the game

    Yeah. But then Kevin Love will demand a trade and return to Oregon where he played...... oops, that was UCLA.

    I would want no part of Kevin Love in Portland. You build around Lillard
