    Eric Gunderson has sources. Not doubting him, but more remarking at how the Oregonian is absolutely useless.

    Why does it say Western Conference executive instead of Blazers executive? Seems odd. How would a Spurs exec (for example) know that Aldridge told the Blazers he's gone?

    Either way, I've moved on. If he wants to come back he can come back, otherwise, bring on the roster overhaul. I'm excited to see where we stand by the end of the offseason.

    Also, Dear LA.

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out, you ungrateful prick.

    Sincerely,
    Most of RipCity

    Team has won one playoff series since Aldridge was drafted in 2006

    This isn't like Cleveland losing LeBron.

    The Raptors lost Bosh (who imo as a #1 is better than Aldridge) and the Raptors have been pretty successful since

    I know Gunderson personally--if there was one person beside Woj I would trust when it comes to reporting on the Blazers it would be him.

    Hope he finds the appreciation he's so desperately seeking. Fucking candy ass no wonder he has no friends.

    Don't doubt his credibility, but who is the exec? And I doubt anyone in the Blazer exects leak this because it would hinder how we make future moves. So if this is true, then I would seek tampering investigation

    Honestly if he leaves I won't be as mad at him as I will be at myself. No one likes to be wrong. If he cuts tail and runs then I was wrong and that pisses me off.

    And as good as Aldridge is, those 19ft jumpers are bullshit.

    Giving him the LeBron treatment seems like overkill. HE JUST PLAYED THROUGH A LIGAMENT TEAR IN HIS THUMB FOR THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS.

    If this is true, can we blame the Batum trade on LA as well? If he'd stayed, we wouldn't've traded Nic, I assume.

    (I'm wondering if Casey knew this, hence his unusually frank comment about "flying back alone".)

    (But then there's his comment about LA being impossible to read, so... who knows?)

    I think I could better understand and accept him leaving if he hadn't said all that stuff about wanting to stay and retire as the best Blazer ever.
