    Did you not say that you would trade him for Wiggins if the deal was on the table?

    Fuck yeah I would! And let's say the entire trade. Aldridge and Matthews for wiggins and Monroe. That's not because Aldridge is gonna bolt, it's getting a potential lbj type player and decent big.

    Well then I don't understand why you think you need to put to rest the idea of trading him for draft picks when you have said that you would do the deal.

    A lot of people have said they would deal him because of a number of different factors, not just because they think he's going to bolt. Some people are uncomfortable giving a guy who will be turning 30 next summer a deal around $100 million. Some people are uncomfortable with even the risk of him bolting, not even necessarily that he will, but the fact that he COULD scares them enough to trade him. Some people feel like our core isn't enough to win a championship, so trading for Wiggins could potentially give us a Kevin Durant type player. Those are just some of the reasons I've read on here.

    That's kind of what some of were arguing last summer... but in reverse. Some of you wanted to trade him because he seemed unhappy, and we were saying he still had two years left. Things can change. You don't get rid of your best players every time they are unhappy. Especially in a small market where your options are less.

    Yes he may change his mind again, but the smarter move was and is.....to keep him. I don't care if it back fires in the next 12 months, it was still the right move.

    Sure, there were people who said that as well, but there were other reasons as well, or are you still talking about last summer?

    Sure, but we also weren't gloating as if it was already done, and clowning on people. At least I don't think I was.

    Well I have egg on my face and I'm loving it (I feel like a pornstar). I feared LMA would bolt and wanted to trade him only for that reason. There is always a chance he changes his mind, but coming out and saying this publicly really puts my mind at ease.

    So throw your best insults my way, I can take it. (I call my post "dumbass" so you can attack this post by referencing dumbass)

    True, but there are other ways to annoy and some (not you) were non stop for months. And they will still spin this in a way to keep it up for another 6 years. Although I am sure their names will change. But it does get old.

    I hope he re-signs, but if he wants to finish his career in Portland (that would be cool) and be the "best Blazer ever", win some titles!

    I never said he wasn't going to re-sign this summer. In fact, I think I specifically said that I hope he does re-sign, but that I'm not holding my breath either way.
