Blazers were getting out of the playoffs in 2nd round and Western Conference finals lost against Warriors but having LaMarcus still playing with Blazers would have helped Blazers to win those games.

I’m a blazer fan, team always was a piece away. And we still would have ran into GSW and the last spurs championship run and then we woulda had to beat lebron maybe that last Miami year we coulda won but not beating those healthy cavs teams so doesn’t change much but who knows

He left in 2015…blazers didn’t make the WCF until 2019…that is not 2 years…

It would have been the same Blazers team we’ve seen since he was there and until now, pretty good, but not good enough

The real question is what if leonard never get injured back in 2018 playoffs. LA would have probably won ring with the spurs

Zach Lowe with a Miloš Teodosić 🇷🇸 Jedi bobblehead behind him. He actually attends Clippers games. I thought only 5 people are at attendance for most Clippers games?
