※ 引述《UrThereNow (nomoredogma)》之铭言：
: 尽管波特兰拓荒者总管Neil Olshey否认Aldridge告诉拓荒者他要离去的传闻,
: 但Aldridge的离去似乎已成定局.
: 拓荒者助理教练Kim Hughes亲口说了:
: "Well, 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."
:
: "这项消息还没公开, 我们失去了Aldridge. 我们还没正式宣布, 但我相信他不会回来了.
: 我们将会有个年轻的阵容."
