This article proves we have LMA right where we want him. And his future will be very similar to Tiger Woods. LMA has a burning conscience, just like Tiger Woods does.

LMA’s career is going to crash and burn the same way Tiger Woods career is now doing.
LMA and Woods have a lot in common.
Both were at the top of their game when they betrayed people that trusted them.
Both have quirky personalities with big egos.
Both are more sensitive than average.
Both lead quit private lives away from the game.
Both can not handle the negative press their poor judgment has brought on them.

Karma will catch up with both of them. Both careers will self destruct as punishment for their betrayals.

LMA’s betrayal was wrong, and he knows it, and his future game will show it, just like Tiger's game is now doing. LMA will never win another game in Portland.
 
LA is going to pay a lot of Blazer fan tax for a long time. Personally I'd cheer for Wes, Blake, Rolo, Batum and LA when they return the first time. I loved that roster and they all entertained me for a lot of games. After that...fuck em

Seriously...some people plan to cheer LaSofty? WTF? Would a sane person cheer their ex wife, after she strings them along, tells them she wants to be the best wife ever, for the rest of her life, then goes out and sleeps with a dozen guys, all the while telling the husband she's just checking out her options, then on the way out the door, she burns the fucking house down? Anyone who cheers this guy when he comes "home" to visit needs a stiff smack on the back of the head.

Exactly this... It wasn't the same situation that Howard had in Orlando, bloated contracts with players that could never get past the first round. Aldridge left a playoff team that had a lot of room to grow and chase a title. This wasn't about him wanting to go home because he still lives in L.A. He didn't give a shit about the fans that fought to the death to back him up. Because of that, the fans feel betrayed. And honestly, I hope nothing for the worst. I hope he's battling the torment of being the bullseye for the failures of a mediocre Spurs team until the day he retires.

The dude is 30 years old, you think he wanted to wait for players to grow to chase a title? No he wanted the best shot possible to win now, and that's in SA with the best coach in the league. Don't know how you can argue that.
 
I don't think anyone here wants to argue the reasons.
its the way he went about it in his last year or two with us.
that's the part that's bull shit and reason as to why people are allowed to be pissed.

I mostly agree sellout. But at the same time, shit happens and things change. Once Matthews went down the team Aldridge wanted to return to at one point was history.

I don't think it would have gone the way it did if Aldridge just committed to our program. We would have brought in more experienced players.

They're the same kind of bandwagon feel goody Seahawk fan "12s". Basically they're really not invested in the team, more of a "wake me up when they are in the playoffs" kind of fan.

totally on board with that. wes's injury was the dagger. BUT he is coming back from it, unknown if its going to be 100% or not but he still made it clear he was coming back. so it could be seen from both sides there.

my thing is if you say you want to do all these things for this team and franchise, and then blow it up the next year, that's bull shit. injury or not, have the stones, be a man, and take over, step up and be a difference maker. he chose to tuck tail and run.
 
I faked every cheer LMA! Darius Miles met more to The Blazers! Your heart is full of diesel oil! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME --- CALL ME! .... No, honestly, at this point I don't care. I pretty much just hate the Spurs at this point and hope everything bad in the world happens to them.
 
Some fans will rationalize why LMA broke his promise to P. Allen & N. Olshey to sign a 5 year deal with the Blazers.

Fact: LMA betrayed PA & NO’s trust.

Some fans will rationalize why LMA broke his promise to the fans to be the best Blazer ever.

Fact: LMA betrayed the Blazer fans trust.

However, neither of these were LMA’s worst betrayal. His worst betrayal is also the proof of what his says in this article about when he decided to move on from the Blazers is a complete lie. His worst betrayal was giving up in the middle of the playoff games. You never quit on your team, never, especially in the playoffs.

Fact: LMA betrayed his own teammates trust.

If you need further proof that LMA had decided to leave long before informing NO on July 3, at 3 pm? He refused to fly home with the team after the playoff games. He had already mentally checked out from his teammates.

LMA has lied to and betrayed everyone involved with the Blazers organization. An now he is lying to us again in this article.
 
By far and away I'm in the "apathy" and "silence" crowd. If it was at all possible to gain enough public support to pull this off I would be in the Moda for it, guaranteed. Yawning through the Spurs intro's and silently scrolling through my twitter TL every time LMA touched the ball. Please, that would be awesome.
 
I love the idea of the silent treatment or turning of the back,it would be classic, but it won't work.

The way they announce the visiting team, the RG will have music in the background (who are you) and the announcer will announce each player pretty quickly . . . with often the crowd pretty much quiet with each player introduced. So if somehow you got the whole RG to remain quiet when LA is announced, you would still need the Blazer organization to be part of it and have the announcer pause for long time when LA is introduce (maybe even turn off the music when introduced) . . . otherwise it will be equivalent to when they introduce Leonard or some other spur (besides Duncan who usually gets a little cheering).

On top of that add to the mix that the spurs are always represented at Blazers games with many of their fans showing up that it makes it near impossible to create what would be a great response (silence). I think the best hopeful response would be a very long drawn out chorus of boos that overwhelm the RG ( like times the refs were so bad the loudness of boos and length of time were incredible it was almost unreal). Of course the Blazers get introduced after and the boos will stop after that so the most I hope for is the announcer allows extra time for the boos before they announce the Blazers.
 
I think the best way for Blazers to show their distaste for LMA is for the PA guy to play the Bob Dylan song "Idiot Wind" at Moda. That is probably the most vindictive song in recorded history to an ex-partner and has been song by divorcees for decades. Dylan literally spits thw words out at you like a switch blade. Actually, now that I think about its a bad idea. It would cause a riot!
