It is becoming a well known fact that LaMarcus Aldridge is pretty much done with Portland and is ready to move on to better situations. He shouldn’t take any heat for not wanting to return. He has been there nine years and the team has never really done much. True, a combo of him and Damian Lillard is nice to have, but without disrespecting them there are better duo’s out there. Aldridge is a free agent and appears pretty set on going to the Spurs but he could instead wind up with Cleveland if Kevin Love opts out.
(Video) NBA: Damian Lillard Hooks Up Entire Retirement Center In Portland With His Signature Kicks
This is such a dope video! The last people you ever think about sneaker culture with are senior citizens, but these lively folks are looking fresh thanks to Damian Lillard. Dame stopped by the Creekside retirement community and showed love to the local residents and the love was returned ten fold. They may be older, but they knew who Lillard was and they seemed to love their red “D Lillard 1’s”. Safe to say the Blazers will have this group of fans rooting hard for them.
(Photos) NBA: Another Twitter Troll Tries Damian Lillard & Gets Shut Down In Epic Fashion
If you are going to try and troll Damian Lillard you better be ready for some heat to be fired back your way. Lillard and his Blazers were in Florida, playing in Miami one night and Orlando the next. He took to twitter to compare the two cities and instead someone on twitter tried to compare him to Steph Curry but tried to play him while doing it. Lillard came back by destroying the troll about his teeth being different directions and it was so bad the dude actually changed his Avi to an image with no smile, LMAO! The guy seemed to realize he never should have said anything cause he even tweeted about changing his pic. Lillard has since deleted the exchange. Check the gallery!
NBA: Report, Blazers Wesley Matthews Done For The Season After Tearing ACL
Trail Blazers starter Wesley Matthews tore his left Achilles tendon Thursday night and will miss the rest of the season, the team announced. This is a huge blow for the Blazers as Matthews has all star level type talent and contributes in big ways for the Blazers. In his absence, newly acquired Arron Afflalo will need to step up more than anticipated.

By now you know Damian Lillard was not selected to be part of the NBA All Star game in NYC on Valentine’s weekend. He was also passed up by Commissioner Silver for the injury replacement for Kobe Bryant. That spot went to DeMarcus Cousins. Lillard as you might expect is very upset and his emotions seems to be between anger and sadness. There is no shame being left off the Western All Star squad because it is a loaded team. Everyone who knows the NBA knows Lillard is easily an All Star talent, it just came down to roster spots. He is basically putting the league on notice that he is going to be on beast mode for the second half.
