    I don't have hate for Aldridge. He still has game and I would be fine with him on the team.

    LMA seems like a high-maintenance guy. At best, he's clearly a very poor communicator. And a prima donna while he was here.

    But a heck of a ballplayer.

    I don't think Aldridge/Nurk is a good lineup in todays NBA.
    One of them would have to come off the bench.

    Ha, Aldridge coming off the bench FUCKING lol.

    Aldridge and Nurk would wreck fools. Small ball is just a fad. We saw what an advantage Portland had when they played GS without Cousins. Cousins and AD were doing work last year until Cousins got injured.

    The guy that would have to sacrifice the most is CJ.

    Same, I never really understood the level of hate that some fans still have. I hate how it all went down but if he didn't have a relationship with Lillard at the time, I can understand why he might move on. With the comments in the article it's pretty apparent that Aldridge doesn't have any bad feelings about Portland.

    But it still sucks when players choose to leave. That's why I don't take Lillard, Nurk, and yes, CJ, for granted. They actually want to be here.

    For me, a lot of it comes from him not wanting to be hear and hin being immature when he was here. Now it seems like he wishes he was still here and seems to have matured a bit. He did blame others for their issue which was weak but idk, I just dont have that hatred.

    i feel like hurling after reading that. He left. Ruined what coulda been a tremendous team cuz he supposedly wanted to be near his kids. Quit dragging dame down. Now he is rethinking leaving? fuck off, dude.

    He would be a perfect fit though. ugh

    Dame is a smart guy. That article sounds like he's laying the groundwork to soften up the fans' animosity toward LMA. Get them open to the thought, then Aldridge comes back and apologizes for how he left things. Water under the bridge for most.

    What are Rolo, Batum, and Wes doing these days? Sounds like it’s time to get the band back together.

    LaMarshmallow who? Forget that guy. First, the problem was Roy, then it was Oden, finally it was Dame. It was always someone else. You know what I think? The problem was him. It's always going to be him.

    No reunion. He's gone and should stay gone.
