    What the hell is going on??? Am I the only one who is stunned by all of these Blazer free agents signing with other teams? Was this Olshey's plan all along and I just missed the memo??

    We're not keeping Rolo? Not keeping Matthews? What the hell!! When Olshey brought in Rolo we all thought it was a brilliant move. Now we have to get rid of him?? And we're not even going to try and keep Matthews, the heart and soul of the team??

    I'm speechless. Our core is disappearing before our eyes.

    Its all about Aldridge. Without him our core of great role players doesn't make sense. Get a bunch of young athletic guys to play with Dame and see if some of them fit well.

    There is Dame then everyone else. Just remember that. We are watching Aldridge because we need the 3 money men to contend, but as long as we have Dame, we can contend eventually.

    I think it's more. I think Olshey figures this current group peaked. Not saying he doesn't want LA back because he does, but I'm not too sure about the other two.

    But we're trying to keep Aldridge!! That's why Lillard flew down to LA tonight with the blessing of Olshey. How do you keep Aldridge when you're shipping off most of the guys on the team???

    Alas, the heart and soul of our team has bad knees and a serious case of delusions of grandeur. Fortunately, we have a GM who understands this. Unfortunately, we don't have a PF who does.

    edit: and if I may be so rude... one of your charms has always been your changing avatars. I like it, but am waiting for something new. Is this one special?

    Rolo was a great acquisition at $6M. Not a great retention at $13M. Wes was a great signing for the MLE. Not worth $15M while recovering from an achilles rupture. Letting both of them walk made financial sense.

    LA...well he's a different story.

    Brilliant. That makes about as much sense as anything else around here.

    You don't seem to read any thread besides the ones you create yourself.

    But to answer your question, yes, you are the only who is stunned. I don't think it occurred to any of us to be stunned. Hell, this is the first I hearing that we're not keeping any of these players. What the hell?!? When did that happen? I'm speechless too. So speechless I can only type instead of talk.

    Thank you for making me stunned. Once I get the feeling back in my body I will thank you.... or hump your leg. For some reason I now feel like drinking.
