Towards the end of the video.

Welp...

 

[ehizzy3]

Wow

 

[Wahdeezy]

There it is

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Wow.... That's a huge soundbite

 

[OneLifeToLive]

Wow

This...

So yes, Neil knew differently on draft night and spent 15 mins selling us bill of goods. Surprised someone didn't put a muffle on that guy.

He didn't say LA was coming back. Iirc he said we will be in the hunt.

"It hasn't been published yet but we lost LaMarcus Aldridge."

 

[Duckhook]

That's what non-disclosures are all about. He should get canned for that...

 

[Scalma]

Maybe he changed his mind who knows this interview wasn't done today

I hope not. Hughes is a great coach.

Yeah I think thats the technicality Neil will use.

 

[Cippy91]

Lol Neil lied to us

 

[Scalma]

Please explain lillards tweets today about wanting LA back. I'm sure you'll have your conspiracies but I just can't see the team making him do that just to lead fans on, or give them false hope.

 

[Wahdeezy]

CJ vonleh and Leonard 30+mins. Lets see what they bring. Lillards going to lead the league in scoring lol. Stick a fork in me I'm done for the night. Cheers to a top 3 pick next year draft

 

[Draco]

Yeah why the hell would he say that in front of a camera for a news report? "People don't know this isn't publicized yet..." but he tells the world anyways.

Because it makes Damian look better and he probably does want LMA back. At least he can say he tried to keep him around.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lol Neil lied to us

No, he never said LA was coming back. He was reporting to us that LA never leaked any information.

LA would be the liar after all that has been said if this is true.

 

[Scalma]

That's a stretch. Like he needs the positive publicity.

I thought Neil was a player person. Wouldn't he let Dame know this before that tweet. This is a good point. This is just all around bad. Bad look on us. The fact that this shit was leaked this way. Maybe this is where that rumor that he let us know came about

 

[Cippy91]

lol

 

[Scalma]

At the end of the day he's just an assistant coach. They aren't in the loop as much as you'd think when it comes to this kind of stuff.

This needs an explanation immediately though. He says "we lost Lamarcus Aldridge". He had to of known something. This whole thing is fucked

I don't want to sound like I'm in denial, but this certainly disagrees with Woj's sources which tend to be spot on.

edit: remember this video was published before FA started, and after Woj said Blazers still very much in the hunt.

 

[Blazer Freak]

What do you guys expect Neil to come out and say? "Yup! We lost LA! Rebuild time!"

It kills any leverage in a possible S&T and could affect their negotiations with FA's during this period.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

lol

Lmao

Wow!

Lmao...you guys will still be saying he's coming back when he's wearing a SAS jersey next year.

HE. IS. GONE. Good riddance. Even if he came back, it'd be hard for me to respect him with how he's handled this entire situation.

Dame is the leader this team deserves. I'll put my money on a player like him someday leading this team to a title.

He's a damn assistant coach, he's in the loop more than all the media combined or ESPN or any poster on this board. Accept it LMA is gone.

 

[Scalma]

I couldn't care less if he stays or goes, obviously I want him to stay but I'm not trippin if he leaves. Still wouldn't takr what Hughes said seriously. It was done before FA even started.
