    This has turned into a complete shitshow, if it ends in Laker and Rocket fan tears, it may almost be worth it.

    IF Aldridge were to come back, who do you think they would be able to add to LA, Dame and a plethora of young, lottery talent?

    What if aldridge takes a two year deal with the spurs? He has to know pop and Duncan are retiring soon. Right?

    Still feels like a cheap way to get a ring. Especially when the blazers could still contend with him.

    I think Aldridge is all about security. He understands he can make more if he has a year or two, but he's also seen careers end right before his eyes.

    He seems very calculated, so I would guess security is more important. He will give up 27 mil for the Spurs because they maybe able to win a title. He will choose us because we will still be good and can offer an additional year

    Usually stay away from hearsay posts like these, but care to elaborate?

    Tim Duncan was a hero to him and Tim Duncan stayed with the same team his whole career to be the best the Spurs ever had..Lamarcus can only do that in Portland. Loyalty plus 28 million and an extra year

    I really hope he does. He has an opportunity to have his number retired in the rafters, while havin his name in every record on the Blazers. I know he's a stat guy, so that's a plus

    I think legacy is underrated as a motivator for a guy like LA. He's not an instant gratification type or a short term gambler

    If he stays, his number is guaranteed to hang in the rafters. His name will be on almost every statistical record in Portland.

    Unfollowed that dude awhile ago. Terrible. Spends more time talking about bars than reporting about the team.
