    Blaming others for the (low key) toxic culture HE created. We've heard so many stories about the situation and atmosphere Aldridge created around the team and now he has the audacity to say something like this? SMH.

    I not a fan of LMA but the only person who can (or can't) effectively call this BS is Dame himself.

    Ive read Dame say similar things, that they talked things out. I actually kind of believe him, all NBA guys especially stars have family, “friends”, agents, have a hundred people all trying to get in there ears. I think those people around LMA really got him jealous, they did it with Broy too, but Roys knees handled it. I think while it was definitely on Aldridge to get better people around him, I think those voices were really loud.

    Also say what you want about Pops, but players respect him and I bet he helped Aldridge to get a different perspective then when he was in Portland.

    Fairly sure he's talking about Batum. There's a reason he was traded away right before the draft....

    In all fairness, LMA is a douchebag.

    I think it was the usher in section 323. Just the way LMA looked up at that section of the stands once clued me in to what was going on.

    What Q&A was that?

    I definitely wasn't there whatever/whenever it was, but I'm curious.

    LMA has to make up with Dame because of Lillard's visibility around the league and any future dealings he might have with him. But LMA hasn't got to explain shit to the Blazers or us. Because nobody in this town is carrying a torch for him.

    Next, Aldridge should make up with Batum, then Kawhi.

    I'm not going to say anything, but you really should come to these things to prevent people from talking about you.

    Did Dame ever have a problem? Always seemed to me this was all LA.

    I'm so out of it, I know nothing. Can anyone either 1) summarize the conflict or 2) link to a previous thread discussion or 3) provide evidence it's more than rumor or 4) all 4, including this 4th option which includes itself?

    Hmm these machines all have something in common... Some kind of round wheel... Are you saying we had a QA with a circle and it told us that LaMarcus was constantly turning down commercials and then getting jealous that Damian was getting lots of commercials? Are you saying we had a QA with a hubcap and it told us that Damian Lillard was told to make sure LaMarcus got enough touches to stay engaged on defense and Damian would keep count in his head each game?
