Spurs and LMA engaged in contract extension talks

[sasaint]

Exactly.

Here's your money now get your ass to center and rebound.

[tonight...you]

So in two years this is the starting lineup.

Gasol 39 years old
Aldridge 35 years old
Kawhi 28 years old
Danny Green 33 years old
Parker 38 years old.

Yup. That will be the SL. Guaranteed. 100%. Have fun.

[apalisoc_9]

In two years..

Rudy gay 33
Mills 32
Parker 39
Gasol 39
Aldridge 35
Green 35

Yeah sounds like a plan


but kawhi gets so much help

[bklynspursfan]

Gasol and Parker won't be starting - definitely coming off the bench at that point. Mills as a starter does scare the crap out of me though.

Likely will be Murray and an unknown fourth guy by then.

Yea there's no way that's the starting 5..

[Chinook]

Yeah, I'm assuming Manu starts at the two. He will still be able to give a good 15 seconds.

All I would like to see is a fair matchup between GS and SAS. We almost got that last year until well you know... it's funny how everyone becomes dismissive of spurs when we have consistently shown the ability to push GS around (with a healthy Kawhi) Having LMA locked up for the next 4 years is encouraging especially at below market value. I believe this year's season can do a lot for Spurs going forward. I'll be interested in seeing the numbers LMA puts up to begin the season.

Pop and RC could murder a 60 year old woman on public television Vietnaman War style, and ST posters would find a way to claim its a good move: “they won 60 games, hear them out on why they sprayed her brains all over the street ...”

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul was "seriously interested" in joining the San Antonio Spurs this offseason but was influenced by questions regarding LaMarcus Aldridge's future.

Lol, “trust the FO, they know what they’re doing”

I thought he was the best what is his issue

[DeRozan m8]

I just have no words for patfo anymore.

Lma doesn't deserve right now.

Make him ing earn it.

Now he'll have no urge again and will be a passive for 2 more years.

Just what we need.

This guy can't get anything done without an alpha above him

Ha.. Manu magic is always a good thing.

I always smile when you're in a good mood. It's a warm feeling I just like to hang on to as long as I can.

Really think you're reading that first part wrong.

[vy65]

How so?

[Chinook]

How so?

Paul most likely wanted LMA on the team and was turned off by PATFO trying to move him. Say what you want, but LMA would have been the third member of a Big Three. It made much more sense to have him than move him.

If we were keen on Paul, then why would we have actively shopped LMA? Did they shop him without first feeling out how Paul felt about the situation? How is that anything but more incompetence on the part of the FO?

Youre not smart.

They needed cap space and seemingly had no desire to get it from Patty or Tony. Once you locked those guys in and wink-winked with Pau, you could only create the room with LMA and DG.

That’s fascinating, but also irrelevant to the question I asked: if they were in the hunt for Paul, why do something that — in your opinion — alienated him from coming to SA? Particularly when there was, as you said, a wink-wink deal with Pau for the cap space?

They had Pau opt-out to create room for a guy on whom they had done no due dilligence on?

Dang, we could've had LMA and CP3?

Seriously, SA is just too small for Paul -- he was just mouthing an excuse to deflect.

Plus, no team that Chris Paul is on will win a ring. Ever.
