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.

    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips. 
    • I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
