LaMarcus Aldridge = Richard Jefferson 2.0, when will we learn.

Some really smart person in here said that the other week...

CJ vs Wes and then add salary difference? No disrespect to Wes but we made the right choice

Neil was right in his confidence of CJ. I don't think many fans thought he was this good. I wonder how Wes would fit in on this team. He'd be getting backup minutes at SG for the max.

One question, is this thread Official???

 

[handiman]

I can't wait till word gets around the league that guys only look good because they played in the "Portland System," a la San Antonio.

...hahaha!!! These were my favorite two lines in that thread from someone called MaineSpursFan:

I think he was teaching LMA to be humble and get his shit right because he's not an allstar in th west, he's just a chump middle of the road player and needs to focus and quit being a fat pussy.

Like I said playing on a SHIT TEAM with only 2 offensive options would make any soft fat faggot look like an allstar. Clearly he is not, as was seen ALL PRESEASON and game 1, RJ 2.0 mark my words, cite my post come playoffs.​

"...he's just a chump middle of the road player and needs to focus and quit being a fat pussy."

Sig worthy.

 

[Sinobas]

I've been calling him Lapussy for years, and these guys have already caught on! LMA is the most over-rated player in Blazer history.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Aldridge: 31:54 minutes / 11 Points (4-12/3-4 FT) / 5 Rebounds / 1 Assist / 1 Block - LOSS

Batum: 32:30 minutes / 9 Points (3-12/1-2 FT) / 6 Rebounds / 3 Assists / 3 Turnovers - LOSS

Wes: 26:06 minutes / 9 Points (3-7/1-2 FT) / 3 Rebounds / 1 Assists / 1 Steal - WON

Lopez: 19:52 minutes / 8 Points (3-5/2-2 FT) / 2 Rebounds / 2 Blocks / 2 Turnovers - WON

So LMA was basically Kevin Love.

Shh, not until after the trade deadline!

...that's good stuff!

 

[Chris Craig]

Both our starting and back up PF played better then Lagina Albitch

 

[Natebishop3]

Lopez is soooooo overpaid.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Lopez is soooooo overpaid.

Honestly what he was paid the last two seasons IS his worth.

 

[KingSpeed]

Lopez...

7'1"
Starting center
20 minutes
2 rebounds

$13 million a season

RoLo is so....average.

Thank you, Olshey. Great offseason.

Plumlee/Davis >>>>>> Lopez/Freeland

But for some reason, we're way worse than last year and will only win 24 games.

Yes, that's why we're so much worse. Because we lost Rolo and Joel.

Aminu and Harkless are both >>>>>>>>>>>> Batum

That's what I wanted to see. Thanks for doing the math, KS.

 

[illmatic99]

Batum.

His shot is broke. It's Rubio-bad.

You mean Dame-bad?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

You mean Dame-bad?

That implies that Dame never drives to the rim, and never dunks the ball. Batum does neither, and Dame does both.

Guess my sarcasm was not as clear as I thought it was lol

ALL of our bigs played better than LMA.

 

[Reep]

To be fair, Wes' numbers were in low minutes because they blew the other team out.

This is only after one game and many players are getting used to new systems, but Neil certainly appears to have dodged a bullet by having to overpay for some of those players who probably would not have been able to compete for a title anyway.

 

[Reep]

Worth the watch.

Can you imagine the flames if we would have resigned LMA and he showed up to play looking like that? And then you are staring at five years of anchor? Maybe we dodged a bullet we didn't see coming.

 

[illmatic99]

bwahahaha.

 

[TBpup]

Been advocating moving Aldridge for a couple of years now. Can you imagine being tied to that albatross of a contract while he gets older and slower? Thank goodness he left. Just wish we could have traded him a year or two ago and got something for him.
