    Yeap. Im in his mind, thats it.
    Give me an update on whether his ass will get shipped or not?

    How this is going to play out is so predictable: they will get dispatched in 5 by LAC/GSW or potentially upset by hot team in lower seeds in first round. He will then agitate through his representatives to get moved to some scrub team he would be the face of so he can put the necessary (empty) stats for his next the big contract after opting out in 2018.

    Awesome trade. After this trade goes down the Spurs go from a team projected to win 57-62 games to a 40-45 win squad.

    So you're coming to the conclusion that he wants to be in Phoenix how exactly?

    The situation in Portland was after like 8 years of having a 2nd round ceiling. Hardly comparable to being a quarter into his second year here.



    Pop said 'you have to come prepared. it's your job. if you want work, you work for it' or something along those lines. Considering the fact that the team has been churning out 30 point halves lately, I'm not sure how that was meant exclusively for LMA.
    I guess Manu4tres is a ing mind reader now.

    Not at all. Never implied so.

    There's no value in getting into details. I'm not a guy to troll.

    But yes, mind reader.. that's it.

    Again, there is no such thing as a mind reader.

    It's not a literal meaning. It's a joke. I hope you understand that, because you fail to do so everytime.

    I just don't get How a talented guy with a max contract in a top franchise can just come fat to Camp and play unmotivated.

    He goes and makes the Warriors look silly, we go ,

    Then he pulls that crap we go

    Yeah, I'm trying to troll you...that's it.

    There are no details to get into. It's just an assumption you have.

    Hold onto him.
    the team has a winning record.
    You take your chances and hope he gets in shape.
    Trading him right now is premature.

    Season is still early.

    Yea, absolutely. Trade deadline is Feb 23rd. If he's shown no signs of improvement by late Jan/early Feb, it may force Pop's hand.

    Roger that.

    He has time to get in shape until then. He did the same last season, and eventually got rolling. I am hoping it's more of the same.

    Pop has already given warnings though. That statement that he made about guys earning their work...

    Its about the long run.

    Taking summers off, and using the first 3-4 months of the season to get in NBA shape is not sustainable for a " leader" of an aspiring championship team.

    His decline is coming fast. He'll be Kurt Thomas in 3-4 yrs. Plus, he doesnt want to be here.

    People complain about Aldridge but who were the better alternatives when we signed him or after we signed him? Our offense would be even tier without him

    I don't know about that last statement, but I have not liked the fact he doesn't come in shape and that he doesn't compete when the going gets tough. I know ppl will disagree with me maybe, but I even see Pop's deep bench compete in those games Pop rests starters... Pop always gets them to compete hard, even the limited players compete.

    The lack of fiber from Lamarcus at times is unsettling... but he's a talented player. I tend to think if there are trades, they are happening in the offseason, myself... but Pop's statement about some players needing to play better and needing to earn their work spoke a lot... that is just what he says publicly. Behind closed doors I would not be surprised if they are taking calls...

    I would not be surprised however it goes down. The team also needs some younger assets too.

    The he doesn't want to be here thing is not a big deal. If Manu4Tres knows this you better believe the Spurs know this. If it's true, he will be traded.

    If it's not true, he won't be traded. Proof will be in the pudding.

    I'm gonna be laughing how manu4tres makes some ing excuse on some bull semantics. "We'll I never guaranteed it" is not an excuse.

    I'm just saying whether or not LMA is creating problems or not (highly doubtful) if there are leaks from anyone close to him that are getting out to people, you better believe the Spurs already know the truth as well. It's not going to reach people outside of the Spurs while not reaching the Spurs.

    It's one thing to want to trade him for the future and being unhappy with his work eithic especially when the Spurs had a lot of success in year 1 with him. But if he's telling his crew, who in turn are telling others, that he regrets being here/wishes he had not come, that's a game changer and he's gone.

    I'm just saying, if your gonna bask in all the glory of a take, you can't use some bull excuse when it goes the other way.

    Don't you agree MaNu4Tres?

    You can hear things and believe them and it be wrong; but not because it's anyone's fault. Lot's of time second hand information comes with a lot of bias - it doesn't mean it was totally untrue. But there are varying degrees of truth. We know that LMA can easily be traded. Plenty of value, contract is solid compared to most given out last year and if SA wants to move him there will be no shortage of suitors.
