Lillard flying to LA to convince LA to resign here

[Draco]

If Dame gets Aldridge to commit, I guarantee Matthews will come immediately after

We can't fit Wes and Rolo and LMA. Only Wes or Rolo. Would LMA be ok with Plumlee, Meyers, Davis, Vonleh, Kaman at center?

Its conceivable we could keep all three if we trade away Hendo and Kaman.

I really like this; first sign through all this that this might actually be a "team". I especially like that he is not just getting on the phone, but actually going down there.

 

[RR7]

the ups and downs of this are ridiculous. lol

 

[julius]

I think this is the difference between the two players. Lillard has embraced being in Portland, not sure LaMarcus has.

It's entertaining, I'll give it that!

I think those players would be fine. We can always use Kaman and a player for Haywood's ungauranteed

Lillard is the kinda guy that can make the best out of any situation. Plus living in Ogden for four years acclimated him to a slower lifestyle.

9 years to me is pretty much embracing Portland

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Damian only needs 0.9 seconds with LaMarcus!!

Same amount of time Wooks takes with women!

That puts them in the same class!

No probably not. So its a good thing that the plan is to trade some of our contracts to IND for Roy Hibbert.

Even I need a vacation after this.

Maybe I'll go to LA!

LA is broken inside in some specific, personal way that Dame isn't. LA doesn't trust anyone, and frankly, I don't blame him. The game and the chaos surrounding it sound pretty dog-eat-dog, and if you're not careful you'll get taken for granted.

Yeah I think so too. Would Allen sign off on giving Wes $15m per if it meant LMA comes back? That would be sweet. Make the Kings looks like fools too.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No, that's the opposite of a good thing. Hibbert's a golem.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Could we resign LMA and Rolo??? Gosh what a rollercoaster these days have been.

I kinda dig Plumlee (not in the way KS digs his brother). I think Plumlee may not be a sexy add, but he may have been an upgrade. Part of me would rather spend that cash on Wes, but in on the fence there.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

No, that's the opposite of a good thing. Hibbert's a golem.

But bigger and darker.

And Golem is surprisingly agile.

The kings don't need anyone to make them look like fools. They've been in the corner with the dunce cone on their heads for a while now.

LA is more like an average normal person.

Lillard is just very unique with his charism, ability to handle media and fans.

Not gollum, golem... a man made of clay, slow and strong, but not agile or graceful.

LA's introverted. He's probably sick of Portlanders being so friendly and smiley.

I knew what you were talking about bc [emoji3]

It's certainly like a cliched script for a romantic-comedy, especially with the requisite scene where the male lead flies across the country at the eleventh hour to reveal his true feelings to the female lead. In this case, LaMarcus is the female.

So you're saying he hasn't run into our crowd of hipsters? That seems as unlikely as his return...

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Anyone got a Dame-with-boombox pic?!

 

[TBpup]

If Lillard manages to convince LA to come back, will the celebration for LaMarcus be bigger or the praise heaped on Dame for returning LA to the fold?

 

[magnifier661]

How perfect that Aldridge meets with the Lakers, then meets with Dame right after. Aldridge will say "dang I forgot how cool this cat is"

 

[magnifier661]

He don't need a boom box. He doesn't have to beg

 

[BlazerCaravan]

I heard black people don't drink beer, so no he probably hasn't.

Someone on LG came up with a surprisingly good word to summarize all this: LACIRCUS
