Exclusive The official Lamarcus Aldridge free agency thread

When i was recruited by compnies when my contract was up several years ago, i went on 9 recruiting trips where companies wanted to hire me.....including the company i was already working for. How is that 0 class? Just making sure you cross all the T's and dot all the I's

 

Did you commit to the company you were working for or your coworkers that you would be returning?

Did you meet with shitty companies well beneath the company your were with (Knicks/Raptors/Lakers/etc)?

There is being thorough, and then there's being straight up disrespectful.

 

And you ended up in Houston of all places?

I pity da foo.

 

As much as you may not want to admit it, LA, NY and Toronto are awesome cities for you multimillionaire black guys. They are in no way "beneath" Pirtland in many areas.

 

Welcome man!

 

Ha. I was already here, actually. Houston has its pluses. .... just not a lot of them. No natual beauty, but no state taxes

 

Greg Monroe --> Bucks. It's done for us.

 

I agree, this removes the last shred of doubt. what is plan B?

 

Great move for Bucks, I like what they are building there.

 

My last bit of denial is gone.

 

Full blown rebuild around Lillard. Hope a couple of our youngsters step up and that we draft well. Save our cap space.

Tough deal. How did it all go so wrong so quickly? This winter the outlook was so different.

 

Yes, he made a wise choice; without Aldridge, Matthews and Batum we are definitely in worse shape than Milwaukee, not even close.

 

Thank you, LMA. Leave us in the fucking dust.

 

I don't want to sound like a whiner, but blazers fans really don't deserve this.

 

I don't know; I guess this group just wasn't as close as we were led to believe; and I guess there were some guys who don't think "team first" like the Spurs and like Marc Gasol.(this was supposed to be in reply to MaxieP)

 

Wish we would have kept RHJ.

 

Aldridge doesn't deserve US. The best fanbase in basketball. Aldridge is a fucking diva.

 

Now I see the Oregonian's true plan, and will remember in the future: they want to hurt Blazers FANS, not the team. Report it is worse than it is, but also report that it's better than it is. Whatever causes us the most anguish.

 

I don't even want Aldridge back at this point.

Even if he comes back this roster is clearly worse than it was last year, and we would be stuck in treadmill land without even a first round pick to show for it (thanks Aaron).

I suppose they could pull a LOLworthy turn and max out Matthews and Robin using their bird rights, hoping to entice LMA to stay. That would be hilarious and I would at least get a good kick out of it.

 

Watch Aldridge pick NY
