re: Blake Griffin and CP3 out for rest of series

You swap any of those teams to the East, and it's probably a different narrative.

Probably so. The East has just been dominated by Lebron no matter what team he's on, with the exception of the Celtics short run. Would have been interesting if there was more competition on that side.

The Spurs will probably win the series, but I doubt OKC gets slaughtered.

According to tbird if it comes out after d12 leaves it is sour grapes BC it wouldn't have become public if 12 stayed. So it should be discounted.

Holy shite Boom everyone can see how dysfunctional the Rockets are, of course it would be because he doesn't like playing with Harden.

mean, that stuff is mostly true, Aldridge didn't really care about the spotlight. He didn't really want to be here much longer going into his last season and told Olshey that. They put out some fluff pieces like LMA chasing the all time Portland stat leaders and staying put but that was all fabricated from the FO. The FO lied to the fans. I think the Aflalo trade was our last hope at keeping LMA and Olshey knew it. If the team made it to the WCF and competed, he'd likely still be here.

What it came down to, Aldridge wanted to go back to Texas. Plain and simple.

Nope. According to tee if it comes out after you cant take it seriously. Just sour grapes. Aldridge not flying w the team wasn't a sign of dysfunction at all. Funny how some let the media pick and choose for them and blindly run w it.

Holy shite you are obtuse as a motherfricker.

I simply agreed with the first sentences of the link you provided:

This always happens.

When a player leaves in free agency all these negative stories start to leak out about him. The stories could be 100% factual, but why are they leaking them now, especially when everyone knows they wanted him back on the team. If Aldridge would have re-signed with Blazers, you would have never heard about the following stories featured in the Oregonian.

---

I never said it should be discounted, only saying that a discerning individual knows to take such news in those circumstances with a grain of salt.

But you're sitting there spouting them as statements of fact, like you know everything about the Rip City locker room. While houston's sits in abject disarray, btw. Thanks to y'all's biggest FA signing in the past few years, who came with far more rumored and apparent baggage.

Never change, Piñatashockalocka

Wait, are you referring to this obvious tongue-in-cheek post from earlier?:

He really is so full of himself. Didn't defer a bit when he got to SA. Won't let Pop coach him, talks shite about Duncan and Kawhi behind their backs, always getting into dustups around town. Just a fricking cancer of an addition to the Spurs' locker room. Subtracted a ton of team chemistry bringing that fool in.

---

Are you really that fricking stupid?

No I wasn't referring to that post at all.
