Batums second letter, divulging his alter ego, was more sincere. . .

Come on now...why hate him personally? I have no vitriol for LA as a human being. I didn't like his style of play, but it's a free country and if he wants to play in San Antonio, go for it.

Again in some weird demented world you and I are always the ones who get frustrated the most in game threads and share it with everyone and when it comes to this we have been more level head than most lol. I agree with you as well, I'm very disappointed it came to this, but I will not bring myself to say "fuck LA go suck a giant dick" or something like that. That quote is used only for NBA refs because they do suck.
 
Dear LaMarcus,

I hope you'll understand that after nine years of watching you grow as a player, cheering for you, defending you against detractors who belittled your game, celebrating the team's success, and enduring the failures and bad breaks, your decision to leave stings. A lot.

Of course I understand and can respect an athlete's decision to move on or go back home for personal reasons. What I can't respect is the way you went about it. You could have manned up last summer and told Mr. Allen and Neil Olshey of your true wishes. You could have asked for a trade to one of the Texas teams and allowed the Blazers to get fair value back. Even this summer you could have pushed for a sign and trade deal. Clyde was man enough to go that way and I repect him for it.

As it is you screwed this franchise, your remaining former teammates, and the fans who rooted for you. We have to go through yet another rebuild while you achieve your personal objectives.

So, thanks for the letter and all. It was well written by your agent's staff. You passed on being the "best Blazer ever". For that, I'm not sorry. You weren't worthy of that. If it were up to me, I would strike your name from the Blazers' record book entirely. Make it as though you were never even here.

Enjoy Texas. Can't wait to boo you next year.
 
I don't really understand why people release these sorts of statements. It's a ridiculous no win scenario.
 
This is how you write a letter...

Dear Portland,

All Of the Pacific Northwest and Trail Blazers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero who deserted us this morning, is no longer a Portland Trail Blazer.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Blazers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Portland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Portland, OR.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Portland and Oregon, Aldridge (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Portland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....

Majority Owner

Get fucking fucked. This has to be the worst "thank you" I've ever read.

Splitter put him to shame.

Oh my fucking God the rage.
 
I see what you did there, and it was appreciated.

Dear You Know Who,

Choke on your fucking auto-asphyxiating ego in your Texas sized mirror you ungrateful glass of precum.

Yours truely!

Rip fucking city
 
What a joke, if the fans were near and dear to his heart he would've been honest and we wouldn't be left high and dry. I do not want him to mention time in a Blazer jersey, I don't want to see pictures of him in a Blazer jersey, and I certainly don't want to hear anymore lies from him or his "people". Save it LA, you could've had fans left here in Portland but there are none now.

I think Some people need to take a time out and have some deep breaths. I hate that he left as much as the next fan, but some of the shit I've read makes it sound like he murdered your kids.

I really really hope la reads this forum..

Because la. You can go Fuck uourself. These nine years , rip city wanted to love you. We really did. I remember agreeing with Kp and thinking Aldridge could be our best player, best scorer. I don't care if Aldridge told you to say anything. The fact that you said it.. is all on you. If I was guaranteed millions, and someone told me to say something I didn't believe. I would tell them no. That I am not going to say something I don't believe in. The fact you said it and there Olshey under the bus makes you a fucking douche.

I hope you never win a title

Rip city hates your fucking guts. I'm going to wipe my ass with your jersey. And burn the shit out if it. lillard is way more of a real dude then you will ever be. He deserves our love. He is what rip city is all about. You're a fool. And we have had our franchise player the last three years. Damian lillard. Not your fucking punk ass.

Lets not lump all rip city fans in to that... There are varying degrees of feelings towards the situation.
