It'd be Chris Broussard-esque for him to rip the inside sources off a message board. lol

LMA is a bitch I already hate him. He could have told us like Love did for Minnesota.

What a fucking lier. "I want to resign next year and be the best blazer ever.." Fucking lying ass dude man.

This guy is good as gone, no wonder they did that rebuild trade for Batum. What a joke LMA is.. Fuck him

I am wondering how many of these guys like Love and LMA sign 1 or 2 year deals so they can sign mega deals when the cap skyrockets.

They may actually be leaving more money on the table signing max deals this year. Can be a huge risk if you get injured though.

Sign a three year deal, with the third year a PO. If he has a career ending injury, his financially security is covered. However, if he is still healthy and in his prime, he can opt out and take a longer ride on the gold train. Low risk, high reward.
 
LMA wants to be the face of a franchise and feels unappreciated. What does he do to earn that? He’s not out in the community like Damian is. Do you ever hear of LMA making surprise appearances at a local shopping mall or children’s hospital? Does LMA regularly engage with fans beyond the required team appearances? Nope. He needs to realize that if you want to be the face of a franchise, then you gotta put in the work off the court to build your brand/reputation. LMA doesn’t do that. He wants everyone to cater to him and kiss the ground he walks on. I think he's a diva.

If Beerboy is pissed, you KNOW we've been wronged.
 
What about the .1% that's staying?

That would be a pinky or something.

Funny. When I watched SportsCenter they said trading Nic was a move to clear salary to re-sign LaMarcus.

Well, the Blazers don't need cap space to sign LMA since they have Bird rights on him. But they might need cap space to get another big time free agent who is necessary in order to get LaMarcus to re-sign. So, in a circular kind of way, they could be right.
 
I can't remember the last time the Blazers had a major FA leave. I am sure it has happened, but I can't think of one. If LMA leaves and the Blazers get nothing, LMA may reach pariah status.
 
Wheres the poster who says on this date blah blah blah IM 99.9% SURE LA WILL STAY... hahah
 
Plan B: Love in a sign-and-trade with Cavs

Plan C: Overpay David West

I am starting to see why you got booted from your last forum. Are your just trying to irritate the fuck out of of today?

It's me.

ANd I'm still 100% convinced he's staying.

It's ESPN, I don't take their articles to mean anything.

You are much better off going for a full rebuild then overpaying for someone like David West.

Overpaying for West is failure. Teams that grab West would only be borderline playoff teams. We lose Aldridge, we either need to find a "Love type" player or go rebuild

I agree if we can somehow get a young PF/C in today's draft. If Okafor drops (unlikely), I'd swing for the fences and see if we could get him or Porzingis. I don't think we can go into the season without young player we are ready to plug into that hole.

Okafor will be the bust of this class. We want no part of him
