LaMarcus Aldridge not happy in Portland

Says he wants to go to Bulls or Mavs though.  But wow, I'd love to bring this guy in.  He's one of the best players in the league and it would be very exciting to have him as a Hornet.  They want a couple firsts though and a player, so that may be too steep especially for people here banking on Wiggins or such next year.

Does the Portland pick have any protection next year?

 

 

I'm pretty sure the Portland and Detroit picks are both protected.  I don't even think we can trade our pick since it's also protected to Chicago, not 100% on this though.

 

Theoretically we could have ZERO first round picks next year if we draft later than 10th, but I doubt that'll happen lol.

No case to get better?  Wasn't Lillard one hell of a rookie last year? 

 

I see how he would be a long-shot to end up here (even with the Cho/Portland connection), but I can't help but imagine how good a tandem Lamarcus and Kemba would be.  That would be fun to watch!

Seems like the Blazers have been "rebuilding" forever. I don't blame him for wanting out, he doesn't have much visibility in Portland. Why do I have to watch Blake Griffin every other commercial when LA is 10x the player. 

 

Anyway sometimes when you've been in one place for a long time, and things aren't terrible but they aren't great either, you just want something different. Sounds like he's ready for a change.

Yeah it's not crazy to want to just move on somewhere else.  New coast, new city, etc.  I'm not saying Charlotte is any better but I've heard bad things about Portland.

 

610 the drive is going crazy right now wanting LA if he would want to come here.  I have to agree, but I doubt it happens.

    • Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face. 
    • There is zero reason to sit him if he is ready to go.  Putting him on a shelf and attempting to protect does him no favors. 
    • Stroud us nit the first QB thus franchise has missed on. He also won't be the last.
