well, damn.

No wonder they were all pissed.


Trail Blazers assistant coach Kim Hughes said LaMarcus Aldridge isn't coming back to Portland.

In a surprisingly open statement that his bosses likely won't be happy about, Hughes said that Aldridge won't be re-signing with the Trail Blazers. "Well, people don't realize we just went young," Hughes said while speaking about a bigger role for Meyes Leonard. "We didn't publicize it, but we lost LaMarcus Aldridge. It hasn't been declared yet, but I'm sure he won't come back. We will go young." Hughes isn't believed to have any personnel power within the Blazers organization, but he may have even less power after spilling the beans on this one.
