I will start off by saying that I firmly believed that LMA was going to stay in PDX until tonight and the new reports from Marc Stein AND the fact that one of my friends texted me a conversation with his sister which happens to be a Dallas Maverick cheerleader. While I don't know if i fully believe her "story", what she says does corroborate with the leaks we've heard recently. I'm going to post some of her conversation:









Take it with a grain of salt...but signs are not good my fellow Blazer fans

Where is HCP when you need him?

People all seem to agree Roy drove Z-Bo out of town, but I remain 100% sure it was LMA who did. He hated Z-Bo; you could see it during his rookie year. When Z-Bo got traded, it was obvious to me who pulled the strings.

So yeah, I think if Nic was the problem, LA would pull the strings to get him gone.

Really don't think Aldridge had that much pull at the time. Don't think the franchise even thought too highly of him until oden and Roy both shit the can.

Someone in Mavs management told --> the cheerleader, who must know him quite well (!) and she --> told her brother who knows --> a friend of --> OSUBlazerfan, who has 5000 posts so is trusted by --> me.

What is the weakest link in that chain? Could the story have been embellished at every step?

I think we're witnessing a first-hand example of a Marc Stein "source"

LA was drafted higher than Roy, bigs always get more love than guards even if the guard is a team leader. It's a possibility.

Well, it is Cuban... He probably has those glasses from the Kingsman that make it look like a board meeting while no one is technically 'with' you.

I always wondered who would win in fist fight between Allen and Cuban. If tampering is involved,I hope Mr. Allen makes the man pay. Big

I think he had more pull his rookie year than in subsequent years; we drafted him at #2 and Roy at #6 for a reason.
 
This whole saga has been kind of a mess. Honestly, you can count me in the group that doesn't really care one way or another what Aldridge does. If he stays great, I like the guy and it would be nice for sentimental reasons to see him finish out his career as a Blazers. However, I honest to god cannot see the Blazers as a championship team with Aldridge as the first option jacking up 20 shots a night. Hes just not a transcendent type of player. If he leaves I'll be sad that we got nothing out of it, and sad for losing a player that I've watched grow since he's come into the league. But whatever they decide to do next, whether it's pursue another big free agent or rebuild completely, I'll rest easy knowing that there's probably the same chance the Blazers win a title in the next few years regardless of his decision. That percentage might be better 3-4 years from now if they decide to take the latter route.

At the end of the season though? Roy was the ROY and LMA was just the project that showed flashes.

Honestly if he leaves we will be a contender again in a 2-3 year time span probably. Solid building blocks and cap space go a long way.
 
Question for the forum...

Who's the last big free agent to leave their team, and for that original team to get nothing, outside of lebron leaving cleveland ?

Lebron and bosh both competed S&T deals where Miami sent back picks and a trade exception. So they got something out of it....

recently sign and trades stopped benefitting FAs by getting them more money

I'd get a second opinion if you're believing that shit. The free agency period hasn't even started and you're quoting Dallas cheerleader texts that say he met with Cuban... And he "wants the contract he deserves", so does that mean he thinks he deserves less than what Portland can offer?

The fuck..?

Not to mention if the league got wind of Cuban, or any owner, meeting with a FA before july 1st they wouldnt hesitate to bring up tampering charges to keep at least the illusion of fair play league wide for FA

You clearly believed it enough to post it.
