But from the jump, I expect vitriol and ridicule. That's fine. Same shit happened when I said Seattle would horsewhip Denver in the SB or that Knicks needed to start Jeremy Lin.

First off, Aldridge might get a ring in San Antonio but let's not get it twisted, he's just the last piece the Spurs will have put around Tim. If Aldridge is clearly the best player on your team, you are going nowhere. Switch Tim and Lillard last year, and there is no way Blazers go out like that. More importantly, Tim would have traveled with the team and won that game in Brooklyn, the loss of which which put Portland in a terrible playoff seed.

Aldridge is a good player but people talking about defensive anchor and leadership must not watch Portland games. Before Dame got there they were doing nothing. That's not an accident.

I'm glad Aldridge is on board to help Tim get another ring but that's it.

As far as Blazers, they have lost their entire starting lineup and are going to have some serious struggles but as far as who I would want to build around Dame>Aldridge. He is a better leader, has ten times more heart and is going to be one of the top PG's in the league for years to come. Aldridge is to power forwards and Joe Johnson is to point guards. Losing him hurts Blazers short term but Dame is the future.

5th in PER (behind westbrook, curry, paul and irving)
5th in win shares per 48 minutes (behind curry, paul, westbrook and irving)
4th in box score +/- (behind westbrook, curry and paul)
4th in value over replacement player (behind curry, westbrook and paul)
5th in player impact estimate (behind westbrook, curry, paul and wall)

i'd put him somewhere between 4th and 6th.

Shit is comedy. Before Lillard got there Aldridge was doing the Kevin Love in Minnesota dance, just with fewer excuses. Now he was a fearless leader, offensive juggernaut and "defensive anchor"

No lie, Aldridge literally started playing SOLID (not great, not amazing) defense THIS LAST YEAR.

He is a good player but Dame> no question in my mind

WTF happened in POR

they lost 4 of 5 starters

did all of them walk in FA?

Afflalo, Matthews, Batum, Lopez and LA

there has to be more to the story.

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

Aldridge didn't want to come back.

Batum was traded, which was necessary, because he is a wildly inconsistent player who is currently overpaid.

Matthews got a better deal, somewhere he wanted to be.

Lopez got a deal Portland was not willing to give him.

Afflalo was widely considered a rental.

Matthews got a fat contract coming off a major injury. Lopez got over like a fat rat. Were they supposedly to desperately throw bad contracts at guys in a panic?

L.A. saw that this group wasn't going to win a title and didn't want to spend prime years rebuilding.

Batum I think was just a casualty of the overall direction there, getting younger and re-tooling. I like him but he is not exactly the guy who makes or breaks your franchise.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

criticism of DJ potentially going to DAL

I'm assuming if they all left in FA

Matthews, Afflalo and Lopez

they took less $$$ to do so, yes?

see statement in opening of reply

obviously, LA took less money to go to a team with a better chance at a chip

I'm kinda whatever on Batum

best thing I can say about him is that Gerald Henderson is not an upgrade.

maybe POR is high on Vonleh

I guess my sentiment is that last year's roster wouldn't have needed too much in additions

to be considered a contender this year

instead they let everyone walk

can't say I've ever seen that before is all

4 starters, and a guy they traded for

are they intentionally tanking so they don't have to send DEN a first round pick?

there has to be more to the story than $$$

---------------------------------------------------------------

If you can't understand it without an explanation

you can't understand it with an explanation

and i dont even know if portland made a serious effort to sign them. i would not have bothered, personally.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

the starting five was an elite group in the NBA, but every permutation of the lineup that didn't include LaMarcus was nowhere near that level. No LaMarcus, no reason to pay a market tax to retain UFAs who won't make as much noise without him, move to asset acquisition + talent development phase instead.

so yeah, the plan was build around Lillard and LMA inside a 3-4 year window, subtract LMA and now it's build around Lillard with a 5-7 year window.

Only thing that's slightly unclear is letting RoLo walk when I thought the Knicks got him at a fair price, but if you're moving forward with an eye on developing youth, there's no need to premium for a veteran rotation big, either.

Like you said, things didn't line up age-wise either. The way things went I am surprised they were buyers at the deadline but then again I guess they wanted to make a playoff push and impress LA if possible

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

so Wes never got the millions on a rookie deal, had to scrap his ass off just to get a guaranteed deal with the Blazers, and all along he was setting himself up for ONE summer where he was really going to be able to cash the chips of his NBA career. I'd think less of him if he didn't seek top dollar on the open market. Portland's option all along was either to match or outbid.

Then once the writing was on the wall this group (primarily LMA) was moving on, they went and got paid. I don't blame them. They'd be dumb to take a discount to stay. Sure, Dame stayed, but he didn't have to take a discount, did he? He got all the money available AND he's in a situation on his 2nd contract to be a franchise player (whether or not he ultimately has the talent to match the billing).

The Batum deal was just grabbing assets in exchange for a player with value. Batum is a great support player, solid 36 minutes per night, but yeah he's not going to move the needle. Better to convert that asset into a recent lotto pick as you move forward with a rebuild.

Not only is LA the missing piece now, he is going to be the key guy going forward. He and Leonard (and to a lesser extent Danny Green) are the new core and oh guess what they have the luxury of the old core still being there.

I won't even approach this stuff with Lillard. Put it this way, now that he is Portland's best player (for sure), they are a worse team. Yes or no?

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

POR lost their best player from last year

+ 3 starters and the replacement player for an injured starter

explain to me what in the entire fuck that has to do with Dame?

can you name a scenario where a team lost their best player and got better?

Captain Obvious

COOLE doesn't seem to have a problem speaking for himself

but I believe the idea is, and I reiterated my interpretation

Dame being a shoot first PG

just got the green light to jack as many shots as he can

and is now the entire show in POR

= his production should go up, yes?

I'm assuming the better off part of the OP may be alluding to a Russy w/o Durant scenario

i.e., there may be more that Dame can do now, that we might not have seen otherwise

he's entering his 4th pro season, his 4th

ROY, all-star, 20PPG...

and you need him to get to the CFs to prove what exactly?

LA never even made it to the 2nd round

before Dame got there.

I'LL GO FURTHER

the inconsistentcy of critiques on this board boggles my mind

I am the boards biggest Tim Duncan fan and Aldridge will help him get another ring, then he can retire and I won't care one iota what happens there after that.

I am a Blazers fan who thinks that Aldridge, while a good player, was not going to take them to the promised land. And my favorite player on the team is now going to take over the reins without having to worry if Aldridge got enough hi-5's.

in the short term, the Blazers will be worse, but Aldridge is a big crybaby in the D'Andre/D-12 mold, who needs a bunch of handholding and is not much of a leader.

There doesn't seem to be a ton of geographical sense to your posts sometimes.

Obviously the Blazers weren't winning a chip with Aldridge and this cast, I mean at what point did that even seem like a possibility? That doesn't ipso facto mean they are better off without him. Here is the question at the heart of this: Will Lillard be a better centerpiece in his prime than Aldridge? The other question is will Lillard reach that prime while Aldridge is still in his?

Last year provided some hope. Despite having the worst bench ever, they made the second round and Lillard obviously showed he was not only a great talent but a gutsy leader. LMA finally played defense and seemed on the path to being a more complete player. Robin Lopez brought toughness and rebounding that they sorely lacked. There was some hope that if Batum took that next step, McCollum got healthy and they fixed the bench, they could be make some noise.

None of that came to fruition.

I can't even tell you how many Blazers fans I've talked to in the past few weeks that have said, "I won't miss him. We weren't going to win a championship with him as our franchise player anyway." Well, no fucking shit. How many current NBA players can you say will win you a chip on their shoulders alone? It's LeBron. The whole list is LeBron.

Every other guy -- EVERY other guy -- needs 7 other solid players around him to win. Aldridge is no different. Now, what Aldridge WILL do is win you 50+ games and make you competitive in a very competitive conference. Aldridge will make regular season games watchable, division matchups and playoff seeding exciting, and postseasons memorable -- talking about Lillard's buzzer beaters as if LA wasn't tossing straight hellfire at Houston to even keep Portland in that series. Yeah, Damian hit a buzzer beater, but LaMarcus was UNQUESTIONABLY the best player in the Portland v. Houston series (and then they ran into the world champs on a mission from Pop).

But whatever -- let this post cook. I'll still actually be watching Portland basketball next season to give reports on just how well the post-Aldridge era is going, instead of these dudes posting scouting reports on LaMarcus like the last time they saw him play was in college.

I would question that, for one. And I was watching Aldrige play before Lillard arrived and he wasn't doing all that. Lillard is the one who took them to the next level. I believe in the dude, obviously. I'm willing to bet he takes them further than Aldridge ever managed to before Dame arrived.

team was shitty when they only had 1 good player, got better when they added a second good player = player 2 is better than player 1

lulz. no, it fucking doesn't. it just means that having 2 good players is better than having 1. team would've experienced the same growth trajectory had the players been added in the opposite order.

Every single year of Aldridge's career before Damian Lillard was also for one coach, a coach who reveled in slow pace basketball and rather singularly demanded that Aldridge play back-to-the-basket postup ball, or else Aldridge got yanked from games, a coach who ran basically a 1990s offense and game-planned for games to be won on the defensive end. So yeah, Aldridge wasn't the same player after Dame's arrival (and Nate's departure). Not a coincidence Aldridge's first All-Star appearances was under Terry Stotts.

That said, I still think McMillan was an ideal coach for a young group, because his demands for accountability and work ethic help young pros become respected veterans. McMillan's demands on Aldridge helped LA develop into the player he is today. And now that LaMarcus is going to be challenged by Pop and Tim Duncan? Sheeeeeeeit. I look forward to seeing the player LaMarcus can become in San Antonio. I mean, is it so strange to think a player can grow and a new system can highlight his strengths? What finally made me turn on Nate was SEEING that LA had tools in the bag that Nate wouldn't let him pull out, and at that point a change is needed, to give a guy a chance to grow. And grow he did.

Of course Lillard helped, but that doesn't make Lillard the best player in Portland. Now talking about Roy v. Aldridge? Okay, I'll give that to Roy. But that was also part of LaMarcus' growth, stepping out of Roy's shadow and finding a coach who was more supportive than task-master.

Lillard can get as hot as any but so can Kyrie but Lillard might be the worst defender when it comes to elite point guards. Lillard is a better leader & playmaker, so I'll give him that but Kyrie has better handles that make it difficult to trap him.

Tony Parker almost had his first career 20/20 game in just 3 quarters against Lillard during this last meeting & Curry's career average against Lillard is 32 PPG. Lillard's kryptonite is going up other elite point guards, even Conley outplayed him w/ a busted eye socket.

WHAT'S GOOD *****? What's REALLY good?!?!????!!! Ha HA!

Put Kyrie on this Blazers team and they win 25 games. The rest of what you typed is irrelevant to my point.

No one expected them to be ANYWHERE near this good, in the media, or in this very thread. Except me.

Because people don't realize how good Lillard is.


Obviously you and I don't agree, and I highly doubt I will be convincing you of anything so Imma just leave it there.
