    I know people still hate this guy but this is a pretty in depth article on Aldridge that shares some pretty interesting insights about him and Dame.

    He sounds like he has a bit of regret about leaving but he regardless of what he says, he still comes off as insecure.

    Dude clearly does not have much emotional intelligence.

    Those are some great pull quotes. I wouldn't die if he came back for the last year of his contract in a deal that let us dump a bunch of deadweight.

    Provided dame is the unquestioned leader, I'd be excited to have LA back. He's a blazer classic!

    It's interesting there are no quotes from his current teammates or coaching staff. Even the Pop comments are from an interview done prior with another publication.

    The article says he met with Portland during his free agency NBA world tour... But I remember him refusing to meet with the team, then Dame calling him and offering to fly down to meet with him in person in Los Angeles to try and convince him to resign, and he refused that as well... am I imagining that?

    Well I can't hate the guy now. Glad he's learning from his past mistakes all you can ask for at the end of the day.

    IDGAF about his regret when he entertained PHX as an option.

    He does. It sounds like he's saying if he'd been better able to handle the interpersonal communication with Dame, he may not have left.

    I’d rather win without him, plus he’d be a bitch about playing behind Zach:)

    If you can't get along with Dame, it's on you. Not Dame.

    I suspect LMA just saw Dame as another Roy, who I think was not nearly the leader and teammate that Lillard is, and started to just project all those insecurities that he had when he was third fiddle on the Roy/Oden team.
