    And obviously Batum, Olshey and Adridge would give very PC answers.

    Did Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams give PC answers when they wanted out of Denver, New Orleans, and Utah, respectively?

    How about Dwight Howard when he wanted out of Orlando? Did he give PC answers?

    How about when Kobe Bryant had his temper tantrum and demanded to be traded from the Lakers? Was that PC? Or did it lead to two more titles?

    I love LMA and everything he's done for this team, but there's no way he's on this roster a year from now. LMA, Batum, and management will all say the right things, but he's going to get traded.

    If the right deal comes along we trade him but if were moving in the right directions, winning and our young players improving, then I think they ride it out with LMA and either resign him or end up letting him walk.

    Let me take this Batum/Aldridge situation a bit further. Nic says LA doesn't want to be traded, just wants to play on a competitive playoff type team. Ironically the person who holds the key to keeping LA here is Batum. If he take his game to another level, no drop off with Lillard, and help off the bench . . . the Blazers could be the team LA wants.

    This is the year Nic NEEDS to raise his game to that all star level to ensure LA stays.

    If Nic can stay healthy for longer than half the season I think he will raise his game to the next level.

    A snake's modus operandi. He's only after information in your locker room. Acting nice makes him feel entitled, and he writes articles if you ever fail to kiss his ass.

    Reporters all got it from the originating reporter, not independently. The multiplier effect is how the media overwhelms you with myth, I mean, truth.

    Re: Nicolas Batum: "LaMarcus doesn't want to get traded, he wants the team to get bet

    5 years might motivate him more than the 1 year player to cover up for him, and not necessarily be the better source for truth. Anyway...

    Quick hated Sheed and the rest for not kissing his ass. Quick hated Andre Miller for refusing his tennis invitation. Quick said a bunch of veterans mutinied on McMillan. Quick twisted Aldridge's words into, he wants to leave, so Aldridge said, this reporting is what's wrong with Portland.

    Now Quick says he's mad at Batum for not giving him a scoop when he wanted to go to the Wolves.

    What an immature narcissistic crybaby prima donna. Quick is a dick.

    I don't but it. Aldridge will go to Houston or Dallas if he's not traded first. Did Aldridge's agent pay Batum to say that?

    Wanna wager Aldridge will be a blazer this entire season? I mean you sound so sure that he's gonna be traded. Should be an easy win for you.

    It's comical that you'll take one players words over another's simply because you agree with them

    I didn't say before the deadline. Houston will be good for awhile and I'm sure Dallas and San Antonio will be all over signing Aldridge. The Blazers still have time to move him and they are just buying some time. By the way Don't worry, The Blazers have always been blessed with great PF and maybe Thomas Robinson got brought in to someday take his place.

    Hickson is not a hack, he's a player, like Nic.
