    Oh no, we don't disagree on that at all. LA is one of the best low post players in the league, the problem is he shys away from it. I've noticed that he gets aggressive in the post when he's playing against tough post defenders that he feels are a challenge. Then the next game, he'll be going against some skinny guy and he'll shoot t urn around fade aways.

    Great news! Kobe will be at the meeting with Aldridge! We know how well that worked on Dwight Howard...

    I fell asleep before the whistling ended in the intro. Maybe that would work. Get LA to snooze off and then forge his signature on the contract and congratulate him when he wakes up.

    What pisses me off about LaMarcus is not the fact he wants to be courted. It's not the fact he'll be speaking with multiple teams. It's not the fact he's been very non-committal to the Trail Blazers.

    It's the fact he's meeting with the fucking Lakers and Rockets.

    LA's been in Rip City long enough to know we despise all things purple and gold, yet he's giving them the first crack at him? That's a fucking slap in the face. Dame may not be perfect, but Dame would never give the Lakers the time of day (as evidenced by his trolling of multiple Laker fans over the years on Twitter). Also, the Rockets? Really? Did we just beat them in the playoffs? One tough, injury-riddled year for your squad in Portland and you're looking to Houston?

    Not all lifetime Blazer fans have a blind hatred of Purple and Gold.

    Believe me, I'm losing respect for Aldridge by the day. He's burning bridges here

    Yes they do. It might not be blind, but it's a pure hatred. Or they're not "lifetime" Blazer fans.

    Pretty silly calling ones fandom into question, just because they don't have (insert word here) hatred towards purple and gold.
    Thanks.

    Saying all Blazer fans hate Purple and Gold... Is silly.
    It's like saying if you don't live in Oregon, and go to every Blazer game.. You're not a true fan.

    But if I were to say half the things you just said to me, after I made a valid statement... It would be considered a personal attack on this forum.
    Funny.
    Maybe I should use an emote.

    One thing is for certain - if LA dons the purple and piss it was never about winning.

    If LaMarcus leaves blame management. They had nine years to build a consistent winner. They got close, but it just didn't happen. It sucks but it's not like he bolted at the first sign of adversity, he gave them ample opportunity.

    On the plus side I doubt the Blazers were ever going to be able to get to a title with LMA as the linchpin. He's very, very good, but he's not the kind of guy that seriously gets mentioned in MVP discussions and when I look back at the teams that have taken home the hardware, that always seems to be the common thread.

    Next man up.

    How is that a personal attack when you consider yourself a honky and a cracker? That's like me saying I'm an accounting nerd, but if someone else calls me that, it's a personal attack?!?!?
