Jason Quick is a Blazer honk, he's had this story in the can for whenever LaMarcus left the Blazers.

Also, it's very subjective, imaginative, and not based on anything real. The writer sounds like a immature cat himself.

Per the biased article:

"If there was a nick, a bump, or a bruise, Aldridge always wanted an MRI, prompting one former staffer to quip it was a good thing owner Paul Allen was rich enough to cover the frequent expense."

If that's true looks like ST posters will get a kick now that TP and LMA will be the best of buddies.

[Sean Cagney]

I'm glad he's gone. $107 million is way too steep for regular-season dunks, regular-season highlight blocks, regular-season rebounds that he doesn't know how to box out for, and nothing else.

I agree, his game was fed off Pauls penetration and he got easy putbacks and dunks because of that. He will miss Paul at the PG position, book it.

Too bad we don't have Splitter as well still to add on to it. He stayed getting hurt.

Seeing as the guy at the end was pretty much cheerleading for. DL I'll take that article as nothing more than a fan boy "good riddance" through a tear streaked face opinion.

[GSH]

Situational reporting. This is what people who never see an LOB need to hear.

Damnit I agree with you again

Seriously, this idea that Lillard is pure and team-first while LMA was selfish and insecure is ludicrous. I'm not saying that LMA didn't get a bruised ego, but the fact remains that he was, is and will be a better player than Lillard. It's absurd to make Damian the face of the franchise. They'll get tank city for years if he's their best player. That Aldridge was willing to join a team where he won't even be in the top-three most adored players on the roster is telling about his need to have the spotlight.

[Embedded]

That was a guy from Oregon slamming LaMarcus, wasn't it? Well, he is coming to the Spurs where Tim Duncan casts a big shadow, but could care less about the spotlight that generates it.

[UZER]

So they threw Aldridge under the bus and sucked off lillard !? Got it

Yeah. Nobody in the organization had the balls to call him out or ship him out, shame on them.

Also, it's very subjective, imaginative, and not based on anything real. The writer sounds like a immature cat himself.

Very subjective. The spurs are run differently. Sometimes you just need to be surrounded by people who will put you in check.

[Splits]

Thought this thread was going to be a compilation of ape threads. Phew

[Arcadian]

...The writer is just experiencing cognitive dissonance and is now trying to relieve it by adopting the belief that he didn't really want Aldridge anymore. Typical.

Yeah, yeah, what this guy said.

[ElNono]

Lillard whined like a little for not getting selected to the ASG... that's your humble, team-first leader?

I had forgot about that.

Mileage tax is enough reason alone to leave Oregon for Texas.

Damnit I agree with you again

Better go take a shower

ing whack jobs

[benstanfield]

So LMA get butt hurt when other people get all of the media spotlight?









































































































sounds like he'll have no trouble in SA tbh

There is no mileage tax, that's a pilot program for maybe 500 people.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

I'm not too worried. Aldridge is coming to the best franchise in sports. He will be surrounded with an awesome culture.

[south side spur]

He won't be looking to take games off because Pop will give him games off periodically.

[milkyway21]

He doesn't care about Duncan staying with the team which means he can be a team player ..he knew the fans are loyal to Duncan, Manu for years.then now Kawhi, still he signs.
Good news is, he just joined a team of players with zero ego, (it's contagious, he'll be a changed man in a year).

If Duncan will retire next season, (he has Pop's assurance in their 2nd meeting in LA), that he'll be the centerpiece. I think Leonard wouldn't mind..this kid will just go play... for the DPOY on his own silent way...he'd be happy see LMA to do all the talking. ..

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

He's just salty that his team lost most of their starters and their 6th man.

Seriously though, this "journalist" is such a pathetic little . Throwing insults and making accusations at a player just because he left the Trail Blazers.

[HarlemHeat37]

the Spurs have probably been interested in Aldridge for a long time, I'm sure they did a ton of homework in every facet, including personality..

It's 2015, there are leaks everywhere, everybody knows everything, if Aldridge is a problem, everybody would know it..
