The more quotes I read from Lamarcus the less concerned I am.

He can't say: "I'll be back next season no matter what."

There is a protocol and an expectation that he say he loves it here an hopes he will be back. Then management offers him the max. Maybe he listens to other offers. Then he signs with Portland. It's all part of the game.

Yep he'll get a couple free meals and some shmoozing then he'll be like "I got 30mill reasons and Big D ain't one*"

*You Knows omitted for readability.
 
For the guys that are giving Dame some grief about his pride for playing in every game, we do make a big deal about guys never missing time. Andre Miller. Wesley Matthews. etc.

Hell, we call Wes the fucking Iron Man. So I think there's some very obvious reasons to want to play in every game and being proud of that achievement.
 
Especially if he was hurt that we aren't aware of... shooting touch anyone? Hmmmm?
 
Just watched the Aldridge interview. Sounds like a guy that's staying put to me and all the speculation was made up crap from quick. He specifically said nothing's changed from his thinking of last summer but he wants to do his due diligence. He sounded very annoyed with the continuous speculation and questions.
 
Olshey can sell ice cubes to an eskimo. I think he can convince LaMarcus things are going good and getting better.

:cheers:

Yeah I just read the full transcript,,, Doesn not sound to me like a guy looking to leave. In fact said he's just going to do his due diligence. Also made comments about how much he likes what has Olshey has done for the players.

Seriously. I don't think exhaustion was his problem. None of the starters played well in the series overall, I think the reason is Memphis.

But I'd still like Stotts to play his starters less minutes during the regular season.



Re: Aldridge, I'm liking these quotes. "Of course I wouldn't want it to end." Well if he doesn't want it to end that that's. Because the Blazers sure don't want it to end.
 
Aside from Damian being a little too caught up in the consecutive-game streak to his own detriment, everyone seems to be saying the right things.

I was really happy to hear about Meyers working with Kaman. I can't remember what game it was late in the season, but Leonard got the ball in the low post and did a series of Kamanesque fakes. I wondered if Kaman was working with him or if it was something he just picked up ... I kind of think Leonard is a bit of a basketball savant, who can just watch things and do them, but doesn't have a natural feel for how to play.

Yeah, it's kind of like up to him whether it ends or not, because I can't see any circumstances under which the Blazers don't offer him a max deal. Heck, in four years, with the money coming in and the likely raising of the salary cap, Portland might be getting a bargain.

Given the growth of Meyers and CJ, plus the probability of a quality MLE vet signing over the summer, I don't see any problem in giving the starters a little more rest.

Priorities, Sir Lillard. Priorities.

Michael Jordan made it a priority to play 100% effort 82 games a year and then playoffs. He even took preseason seriously.

Which is all good ... if you are Michael Jordan and your body doesn't break down under that.
 
Quicker said every player took part in this except one player: Aaron Afflalo.

Chris did more for Meyers than Kim Hughes could in three years. I want to keep him as an assistant big-man coach as long as possibl.

Man oh man, imagine Meyers' outside shooting and jump hooks combined with Kaman's nifty footwork in the post. They seem to get along really well, so hopefully that mentorship can last a few more years.
