    Roy was a better player, but career wise LA easily wins easily.

    Here's another question: who had the more disrespectful exit from Portland?

    Okay a serious response, LMA's playoff performance against Houston in 2014 far surpasses BRoy's playoff performance vs Dallas in 2011. IMO Aldridge had the better Blazer career in almost every single way you look at it, had a longer tenure, more healthy, the better stats, the better PER at his peak, the better playoff performance when he was "the man". Really the only thing BRoy wins at is the total number of surgery's he had as a Blazer vs Aldridge, and his contract, he had a way bigger contract than LMA sadly.

    Roy could take over a game. Aldridge could not at the level Roy did. Sure he got hot in a couple playoffs games, but Roy would completely take the game over.

    Roy won rookie of the year too, Aldridge did not.

    I can't really remember Roy quitting and giving up in a game. Aldridge did this last playoff series. Dude looked so Damn checked out.

    From the 2006 draft who had the best career? LMA drafted #2 or BRoy drafted #6?

    Neither, eventfully it will be the player drafted #47, Paul Milsap.

    I think Roy was on another level than Aldridge. LA was more of a Cliff Robinson caliber player. Roy, at his best, was only a couple of notches below Clyde. Roy was one of the top 5 in Blazer history, while LA isn't even in the top 10. I think it's so silly that LA was even in the conversation of "best blazer ever".

    Neither made this team a real threat.

    In 9 years Aldridge got this team out of thr first round ONCE and it took a miracle shot from Lillard to make that happen.

    Fwiw, I liked Roy a whole lot more than Aldridge.

    We had to pay Roy's salary on our books until this summer because of the way Roy ended his career in Minny. At least we have cap space because of Tex's decision.

    from stats point of view it easily LA, but Roy had a far better career. he led us out of jailblazers era. he was clutch. he sacrifices his knee to beat dallas. and sacrifices his career to get us LillardTime. LA did not do any of that for us. he wanted attention but when he did he shy away from that. Roy never shy away from attention. we needs to sign Roy.

    Roy sacrificed shit; he played for Minny which put his massive salary on our books for years and hamstrung us from becoming a true powerhouse after he was gone. We paid him 19 million on our books last season. Wouldn't that have been nice to have last summer? Thank Roy for wanting to play 20 games for Minny.

    Roy was an exceptional talent, but was a poor teammate and a prima donna.
    LMA was a role player masquerading as a franchise player, who refused to do what was best for the team...and is a prima donna.

    I'll say it again: fuck em both.
