    I gave him a like for you, so it's like a double-like

    I actually think this will guarantee Aldridge crosses them off. This was exactly what Lakers tried doing

    Aldridge walks like a cowboy. Are those wranglers?

    I want to see the Blazers put together the most competitive team possible. Any team with 2 all-stars has a shot at success. I'm excited about the young talent Olshey has put together, but I think it needs to be balanced with quality vets. I'm not interested in visiting the lottery any time soon. I'm more interested in 'reloading' than 'rebuilding'.

    Either way, whatever the decision, I hope we hear what happened behind closed doors during all this. I hope Lamarcus explains to us why he chose what he chose. This has been up and down on "maybe he will stay", "okay he is for sure gone". Make the decision tomorrow, lets move forward with it. It took pop two meetings and I wonder why. You could look so far into all of this but honestly only Lamarcus knows what he will do. His circle is very very small. I don't even know if I should be believing any credible sources besides Woj. Fuck maybe even woj isn't getting it right 100 percent. Just end this

    I just hope LaMarcus chooses at this point. I'm starting to feel like the guy at the end of the Last Crusade

    I love that an article that claims it's down to TWO- SA and PHX- then says:

    the Portland Trail Blazers are still in the race, too.

    Writing about how he could return to Portland doesn't make for interesting articles to anyone outside of our demographic. But you know what does? Reporting about how he's looking at going anywhere but here, and then surprise he re signs here.

    I think it's more cya. They reported that PDX was out. Instead of admitting their mistake, they mention us parenthetically.

    Woj might be full of sh** as well. This has just been a soap opera since day 1. Only LaMarcus knows what he's good to do. I can only hope the extra money sways him.

    Woaaaahhhh woah woah buddy, Woj is law.

    Otherwise it's just fucking anarchy.

    And he's been the one keeping Portland alive during this whole shitbacle.

    That and hopefully he sees that maybe Portland has upgraded the talent around him. Wes was a big loss but I truly believe Plumlee is a better player than Lopez. Aminu will be an upgrade over Batum, watch. He knows who he is. I also trust that Olshey would find a way to add another solid wing.

    I'm just saying no one really knows what's going on in his head.

    I would hate to be LaMarcus and having to have the duty to reject one of these two teams. He's got their hopes up and each think they have a real chance.

    Somehow I don't think Neil has worked as hard for his services as these two teams...

    What else could Neil possibly say? They have been talking even before free agency. He knows a 5 year deal is here. He knows what we are about. He has been here 9 years. From what Dame told quick about their phone conversation, doesn't sound like Lamarcus is coming back.

    If you want him, really, REALLY want him the job isn't done until he is resigned.
