    Jason Quick ‏@jwquick - So I'm confused: Did anyone ever report that Aldridge had requested/demanded to be traded? What is he refuting?

    I told you LMA didn't want to be traded. Maybe you'll listen to me next time.

    You're using the generic "you", right? I thought the entire last week here was silly, because LMA's only words since the season were how he was willing to stick around, and sees the team getting better.

    I've never considered you generic. You're very original.

    "I haven't demanded a trade."

    We now know that he has politely requested a trade. If he hadn't, he would say, "I haven't asked for a trade, and I want to remain a Blazer for a long time."

    It is great that he has said this.

    This gives the team some room and some time.

    But what LaMarcus didn't say was important as well.

    He didn't say: "I want to be a Blazer for a long time. I know it might take a couple of years to improve the team, but I am on board with that process."

    I don't really think much has changed, ie., LaMarcus has told the team he wants to see significant improvement in the roster and very soon. If they can't get that done for whatever reason they should look to move him to a more competitive team, thank you."

    He is not demanding a trade. He is demanding action. I don't blame him. And I agree. The team either needs to get some more talent soon, or they need to move LaMarcus.

    Honestly, in today's NBA, there is no loyalty. If he wants to see improvements or he'll bolt, he can. It's not like it'd be unheard of.

    I think it's not his style though. I think he would politely ask to be traded; and do everything behind the scenes.

    He is not howard

    How hard to they go after Pekovic now?

    He's the best C available, by far.
