Gonna put it out there: LMA WILL STAY.

[Strenuus]

In my opinion, he stays. I am 100% certain of it.

Ya'll can bump it if he leaves, but it doesnt take away the fact that at 7:35 pm on April 22nd, 2015, I have 100% confidence that LMA will stay.

 

[blue9]

I just hope he agrees to a sign & trade. No way do I want him for $127M or whatever it is.

That would negate the staying part, blue9! Damnit!

He's earned every dime of whatever money is owed to him.

 

[oldmangrouch]

If LMA gives 2 hoots about winning - he walks.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Why would he stay? What does he have to look forward to?

He doesn't live here in the offseason.
He goes into the playoff with a squad, they all get injured, but no one else shows up.
He plays through a fractured thumb and the rest of the team plays like fucking bitches.

I guess he can be the Blazers GOAT. That and the wheeling and dealing and the winning mentality of Neil Olshey are the only positives right now. Olshey is the type of GM to swing for the fences and get shit done.

Disagree. There aren't ANY current PFs that deserve a $127M contract. PFs (that aren't Tim Duncan) don't lead teams to championships.

 

[KingSpeed]

Of course he'll stay. HE HAS ALREADY SAID HE WILL STAY. He is playing thru a thumb injury because he cares about the team.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If he stays I have to pay $20.

If he goes I get $200!

Win/Win

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

You can go back on your word. Guys do it ALL THE FUCKING TIME in this league.

If he leaves, I won't blame him, unless he goes to the L*kers, then I'll burn his fucking jersey.

Didn't Lebron say he was going to stay, too? There's been a precedence of players saying they'd stay and then bolting.

I don't think LMA is that type, which is another reason why I made this thread.

You narcissistic bunghole.

Yeah, I went there!

The retro one, the rip city one, the sleeved one? WHICH ONE?!

 

[santeesioux]

I'm calling it now, we're going to sign and trade him for a sign and traded Kevin Love.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

You narcissistic bunghole.

Yeah, I went there!

 

[blue9]

I'm calling it now, we're going to sign and trade him for a sign and traded Kevin Love.

Is that legal? Not that I think it would happen, I'm just curious if two players can be signed & traded like that.

 

[e_blazer]

Disagree. There aren't ANY current PFs that deserve a $127M contract. PFs (that aren't Tim Duncan) don't lead teams to championships.

And yet curiously, Popovich is looking to lure LA to San Antonio by offering him a max contract to replace Duncan. Guess Pop doesn't know as much about PFs as you do.

 

[Strenuus]

I'm calling it now, we're going to sign and trade him for a sign and traded Kevin Love.

Oh HELL no.

I'd get sick of Kevin Love, and then the nauseating homegrown angle we'd hear all year. In that order.

 

[Strenuus]

You son of a bitch. I'm at work and I can't stop watching that. lmao.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

The retro one, the rip city one, the sleeved one? WHICH ONE?!

I have the red alternate of Aldridge.

 

[e_blazer]

You narcissistic bunghole.

Yeah, I went there!

SlyPokerDog thinks bung holes are great...for sniffing and licking.

Pop is the only coach that could get 100% out of LMA. Pop is the exception to the rule.
By and large teams lead by PFs do not fare well when it comes to competing for championships.
Also, Duncan is the best to play the game in the past 20 years.

Of course he'd go there!

 

[santeesioux]

Sign NO's boy DeAndre Jordan first, then Kevin Love.

EWW. Eww Eww Eww Eww!

Did I mention Eww?

He said, She said bull shit.

I was just about to put that if I'm Neil, part of my pitch to Aldridge is going after DeAndre Jordan.

 

[santeesioux]

EWW. Eww Eww Eww Eww!

It's better than being in the lottery every year for the next decade.

 

[Strenuus]

It's better than being in the lottery every year for the next decade.

Deandre's FT shooting will get us in the lottery, too.

 

[Strenuus]

Why? Why on earth would he say that? LMA likes Rolo. LMA has had better stats every year since Rolo came here. It'd show that the Blazers don't know how they want to go about it.

 

[santeesioux]

Really though, LMA is a good guy, he'd give us the opportunity to sign and trade him and get something good back if he did decide to leave, he's a classy guy.
