'Faith' keeps LaMarcus confident he'll stay with Blazers
As he stands at the granite island in his kitchen, LaMarcus Aldridge wolfs down two slices of pizza, the mass of cheese and crust in his mouth providing roadblocks in communication. The Trail Blazers’ star-in-the-making is asked when he will he begin his offseason training.
“Muly un,” Aldridge mutters.
Translation: July 1.
With whom will he train?
“Rish mursh,” he says, cheeks puffed.
Translation: Chris Bosh, the Toronto Raptors All-Star power forward who, like Aldridge, lives in Dallas.
Although his 6-foot-11 frame is sleek, Aldridge has prominent shoulders, as if a grapefruit has been implanted in each deltoid. Today, his left shoulder is particularly noticeable, the result of a recent three-hour session in a North Portland tattoo shop.
Aldridge flew from Dallas to Portland last week to…

LaMarcus answers questions from fans
Q: What teams do you think came out of the draft stronger? any teams surprise you? – Taylor, Hillsboro
============================
LA: It was an interesting couple of days, but I think the teams that pulled off the trades were the ones that got better. Shaq and Vince and RJ will help their teams immediately and make them better. There may be a couple of impact guys in this draft, but usually draft players take time to make a impact so the immediate impact you’ll see this year will be on the teams that made trades.

Update from LA
Hey everyone,
How’s everyone’s summer going? I’m still enjoying the time off, but am working out and staying in shape. I’ve got the Team USA mini camp again coming up in Las Vegas in a couple weeks, so I’m trying to get in good form for that.
What did you all think of the draft? What teams made were the biggest winners and losers, and how do you think we made out? I think we got some good young talent in the draft that should be able to grow with us. Our team is so young, that these guys should be able to grow with us.
I’d love to hear all your thoughts on the…

Q: What’s your favorite song? <3, Gabby
LA: Get Allot by Young Jeezy
==================
Q: What do you expect your team goals to be at the beginning of training camp? Do you start small (i.e. Division title) or aim high (i.e. NBA Championship)? Can’t wait for next year, hope you enjoy your summer. – Matt, Portland
LA: I think our goal is to win a championship, and we need to aim for our goals from day 1. We aimed for the playoffs last year, now we have to raise our goals and think title from the outset of training camp.

Q: Do you have a particular charity that’s close to your heart, and why? -Niani (Portland)
LA: Great question. I worked with some…
