    If you simply look at the moves, yes we have a home at SF but otherwise we have bolstered our team as a whole.

    She would have said anything to get SPD to put away his lipstick tube.

    Wait... so technically it was Olshey who denied the reports.

    Aldridge is still remaining quiet?

    He must stay quiet to avoid tampering. Olshey is just denying Aldridge came to him and said he is not staying

    Aldridge doesn't have to stay quiet. Aldridge can say whatever he wants. He can say he plans to stay in Portland.

    I one of the biggest homers and do think LMA says but to play devils advocate for a minute, Olshey didn't say LMA was coming back and LMA didn't say he wasn't going to look elsewhere. All they both said is he didn't make up his mind either way yet. So it is hope for sure but also not a sign he is staying necessarily.

    If he stays....

    My oh my. This has been something. Continue to watch the execution in amazement. Olshey was pretty adamant that nothing was said to him.

    True. And i am not convinced that he will be back. But as i said this morning....FA has not started and he wants to be courted. He has earned that. There is a lot of smoke, no doubt, but he should not have to respond to it. And per Neil, he is surprised by it. All very confusing.

    But what it does tell us is the sources are full of shit! 99.9% sure he leaves my ass. Some exec saying Aldridge has already informed the Blazers he's leaving?! I bet those insider feel stupid now.

    From Olshey's comments, he basically stated that LA wanted him to make it clear to us that nothing is finalized about him leaving. That's good news.

    I think he's been waiting to see what Olshey does before he decides. This was the summer Olshey was talking up for a few years. He's obviously clearing up cap space...I think LMA is waiting to see what happens before he decides. If we make the right moves..this could very well be his best chance at a championship.

    What I get out of it is LMA is saying improve the team and I probably come back. Don't improve the team (even more then today and yesterday) then I might bolt. I think that is a valid request too.

    I hope LaMarcus is pushing NO to land a 3rd All Star level player. Either make the squad elite or he wants to move back home.

    Honestly embarrassed at the knee-jerk reactions thus far. I still think he's gone but at least it appears to me that he hasn't written off the Blazers if they significantly improve the roster.
