And the Portland Trail Blazers slowly become more and more aware of the fact that LaMarcus Aldridge is most likely gone forever. No matter how many times Damian Lillard tweets to him, no matter how many times the front office say in unison ‘He’s not leaving’, it’s clear that he should be in a different jersey at the beginning of next season. And if he doesn’t, I’ll be incredibly surprised.
The Blazers Assistant coach Kim Hughes has joined the majority in knowing that they blew it and LaMarcus Aldridge is leaving.
“People don’t realize we just went young. 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 and we depend on Meyers to play a lot of minutes.“
Now when the assistant coach pretty much calls it, surely that’s enough for the Blazers and Portland faithful to realise that LaMarcus Aldridge. Is. Gone! There are several teams that he is meeting with. My bet is that he goes to New York.
But honestly. I just hope he doesn’t go to San Antonio. Anywhere but San Antonio.
