LaMarcus never really liked it in Portland. The only way he was (possibly) going to sign here was if we were successful in last year's playoffs AND if he thought we were contenders next year. He was 100% leaving, and I think that decision was made before our last two playoff games. He was already checked out. It's pretty clear LAMarcus (like most people) wants to be liked. So...my guess is he put on this charade that the Blazers were on his short list so we the fans wouldn't be mad at him. It didn't work.
Predictions: LaMarsha can not handle the pressure playing for the SAS, his new nickname becomes LaKlutz. Blazers win every home game against the SAS while LaKlutz plays for them. To get LaKlutz to sign with the SAS, Coach Pops gave LaKlutz a verbal promise to stay through his 4 year contract. And then coach Pops retires after one season when Tim Duncan retires.
Oh, LaMarcus, don't leave me.....eeeeww..I'm so cold without you. Get over it you sniviling bastards!
I'm glad he is gone...he never wanted to be here....we could've made it to the finals and still would have left
If LMA never wanted to be in Portland, he had over 3,000 days of opportunity to ask to be traded. He could have picked up the phone and told PA, or, walked into the GMs office, or, explained it to his agent. Instead he lied to PA & NO and betrayed the fans that cared about him. I can understand LMA betraying the fans that hated on him, the haters deserved it. However, most of the fans and all of the Blazers front office personnel cared for him. We did not deserve to be betrayed. Karma is going to haunt that boy for the rest of his career, and he will regret for the rest of his life betraying those that cared about him.
