Sad he has to retire this way but he punked out on us when we could of had something special with him, dame and CJ. I'm glad he never won a title after leaving. I'm also glad he chose his health over a possible hank gathers/reggie Lewis type of situation.

Thank you, I get so much shit for this opinion. He absolutely bailed on the Blazers when they were so patient and spent so much time developing him.

Seriously? The front office bailed on him. Wes tore his Achilles and NO shut him out (not giving him even a call to say they were moving on) then he traded Batum, and apparently he barely even gave LMA a second thought in trying to get him to stay, while the rest of the league salivated over him and showed him he was wanted in pushing forward a championship team while the Blazers looked to rebuild. I mean Dame and CJ fucked his plans up by going wild and becoming a playoff team before NO could do a real rebuild, but EVERYONE knew that the team was looking to get younger and didn't care about holding onto any of their starting lineup other than Dame.

Try to be grateful for the work your guys do for you, and less angry that you didn't get everything when/how/where you want. LA was one of the greatest Blazers ever and absolutely carried this team in stretches.

And left because he thought he'd get an easy title in San Antonio.

Yeah, I’m gonna disagree. The front office moved on Norton him. Olshey decided his 3 draft picks, Lillard, CJ, and Meyers were more important. He was biding his time and was in an awkward situation since the front office never considered him a part of the teams future plans once the previous big three didn’t work out.

Why's Are you glad he didn't win a title? He deserves it the most

He bailed on the blazers why would any blazer fan want him to win by bandwagon

Because he's the reason people saw what was on Dame, he helped the Blazers and the Spurs when they needed it. He deserves it more than any other person in the league

Dame, harden, 35+ players deserved a ring more then him

I boarded the Blazers train right as LA was leaving. Coming from a town where there is no remorse (somewhere on the east coast), can someone tell me why there's such a deep love for a player who abandoned ship and ultimately set the franchise back 10 years?

Blazers Aldridge is the best Aldridge. Was hoping you guys would get him in the buyout, but I’m glad he caught onto his health before it was too late.
Blessings to our northern brothers
