Marc Stein: Spurs are #1 on LaMarcus Aldridge's list

[tholdren]

Or he could get PAID and stay with the org/city where he spent all of his nine years as a professional.
they don't do that anywhere else.

[SpurPadre]

At this point, I hope TP fucked Aldridge's girl just out of principle.

[tesseractive]

Or he could get PAID and stay with the org/city where he spent all of his nine years as a professional.
If that's what he wanted, why the circus?

[Mnky]

Sun's have a center. Spurs don't. He seems hell bent on not playing center. With Duncan and Diaw, it shouldn't be hard to imagine plenty of center time depending on matchups. Sure spurs are front runners, but if the position really matters, spurs run all types of matchups. Maybe he's worried about that.

[CGD]

Plan B might well involve helping the Suns land LMA, with Morris + Len/Tucker coming back using Splitters TE. I'd be ok with that with everyone else pretty much snapped up.

Thanks, Eric.

If that's what he wanted, why the circus?

Didn't know what was realistically out there. Obviously he wanted to explore his options, but if those options are marginally more appealing than his current one why not take the money?

[goliath]

Duncan gets 30 minutes at center. Diaw 10. Sign a minimum big or bonner to play 8. There you go. Lamarcus doesn't have to worry.

[SpursOwn]

Now Dallas back in the mix? Good luck not playing center on that team, tbh.

Sources bro, SOURCES!!!

The integrity of sports journalism especially during free agent periods is such a joke. You can literally make up fucking anything and back it with "sources" and watch your twitter explode. What a goddamn farce.

[Mnky]

Besides Duncan, there isn't anyone. Near 40, he can't be expected to run it all year. That's the only thing I can see being a catch. Feel like spurs move fast on center if LA agrees tho

[Plum Island]

Nice. The 883 will give you what you're looking for. It's a little on the heavy side but it feels solid all around. The 48 isn't too bad either.

Yeah, with Baynes, Ayres, and Splitter gone, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion the Spurs will be shopping for a center regardless of what LMA decides.

[Texas_Ranger]

this shit will reach 200 pages :lol

[bigfan]

Bottom line is if he is smart and tough he will come to the Spurs. If he choses another team he likely would not have been able to handle being a Spur under Pop.

[Cloud786]

Another theory, I think that in our meeting with LMA, Duncan talked about how in 2000, Orlando bent over backwards to cater to him, and gave him free gifts and stuff. That's why he dragged it out and recommended to LMA that if he is committed to the Spurs, he should do the same thing and enjoy the experience of being courted. Tbh, I'm wondering what each of the suitors is giving him.

Houston - Probably that hilarious shot chart showing how LMA almost took as many mid range shots last season as the entire Rockets team combined. In the geriatric duo of starting pg's in Terry and Prigs, no need to worry about another Lillard fiasco.

New York - Some "I heart NY" shirts, an opportunity to play center alongside Milicic 2.0 and assist master Melo. Not to mention stars across the board in Galloway, Shved, and I don't know the rest of their roster, but it's New York, so they have to be good, right? Concrete jungles where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do, except win.

Toronto - Maple syrup. Chance to play in the East. Canadia. Drake. Maybe lose to Washington in 5 instead of 4 in the first round.

Miami - Chance to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh and win multiple championships. Not 1, not 2, not 3... Cuban cigars and hookers. Be the first player in NBA history to earn a max contract and come off the bench.

Los Angeles - Swaggy P. Nuff said. Probably a quickie with Jeanie. Doesn't have to play center due to the dynamic duo of Hill and Sacre. Chance to impede Randle's development. Even though reports say he's sold his house in LA, he can always build a new one with Kobe's bricks.

Dallas - Cowboys jerseys. Chance to laugh watching Dirk struggle to play center. Sit out in crunch time, no pressure.

Phoenix - Your only chance to be listed and play as a point guard, furthest position from *gasp* center.

San Antonio - Whataburger #boldchickenstrips

I am guessing he wanted another meeting with the Lakers so Kobe could show up again for 3 minutes and tell Aldridge how your going to be my new Gasol teammate and I'll be da man.

[ceperez]

but who plays center when TD leaves?

That is the saddest part in all this.... TD isn't able to mentor anyone when he leaves!!

[Spursmania]

What a colossal waste of time. What is Aldridge thinking or did his camp get a call from the Laker's apologizing for their idiocy and asking for a second meeting just to show they actually have BB IQ? My guess is Aldridge's camp asked Aldridge to meet with LA again just to look good to the media and save all the LA criticism. If it were me, I'd say Fuck yo clowns-you had your chance just like all the other teams, you weren't prepared which tells me you're not prepared for the season or to make any serious run in the near future. Fuck off.

Obviously, Aldridge can't say that-hence the meeting; although, you know damn well, it's not going to make a damn difference. I mean Kobe's a dick and he probably feels disrespected now and is out on the town looking for some whores to take out his frustrations on. LMAO!

I disagree.

I think it's fear of failure.

If you come to the Spurs and it doesn't work out, what can you say?

You can't say it's a clueless organization and they'll never win.

The Spurs are a unique outfit -- if you fail, it's on you.

Why would you go for that when you could go, for example, to Phoenix?

Very good point as well.

The way so many media outlets have been apoplectic today about the inability of LAL and NYK to attract significant players these past 2 off seasons, a conspiratorialist might think that someone has told LMA and his team that they have to give LAL another chance, if only to allow LAL to regain some public credibility.

The Miami thing makes absolutely no sense to me.I'd bet on that..exactly what I was thinking re: Lakers

nothing has changed except LA looking to hear something he hasn't heard before about basketball.

Maybe Pop should've talked to him like a child and said: "You see this ring? You get it by winning 16 games in the playoffs. 4 games in the 1st round, 4 games in the 2nd round, 4 games in the 3rd round...

LMA: Wait a minute, there's a 3rd round?! Holy shit!

Pop: Yes, and after that, you get to go to the Finals to play against a fully store-bought Lebron team that we've handled before.

LMA: WOW....oh boy!!!! Gosh, so that means I can get one of those shiny rings myself?

Pop: Sure you can...but you will have to play Center from time to time.

LMA: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I want my momie!!!!

TD: Shut the fuck up, pussy. I'm 39 and I can handle Center.

LMA: Gee, thanks TD, you're my hero!

"The Spurs would have to renounce Manu, Marco, Joseph, Bonner, Ayres, cut Williams bballinsiders to fit in Aldridge - Duncan $5 mil"

Would Duncan be willing to sign for MLE money and lose a chunk of the Spurs' bench to sign LMA? Maybe that's why Lakers got a 2nd meeting? :downspin:

Highly recommended experience. Will do again, but next time with Shrooms. Also vaping Mary Jane in public everywhere you go is a hoot. Walmart to whatever club I tend to inhabit here on the border. No one steps to me and I'm just having a blast.

My girl is a salsa dancer and her team had a social last weekend and I broke out the DaVinci, fully packed. 375 degrees. You could see the entire floor start looking around wondering "where is that smell coming from?"
I put my piece in my pocket, since there is no burn, and shrug. I smell it too! Must be that Vietnamese massage place connected to you guys.

Ha ha ha! Wheeeeeeee!

Future LaMarcus Aldridge is traveling via time machine to tell current LaMarcus Aldridge to grow a pair, he's embarrassing himself.

[Texas_Ranger]

If we can get Hibbert and West I'd be pretty happy.

[cd98]

Aldridge's fickleness is sending mixed messages. Everyone thinks they have a chance no matter how strained their thinking. I mean Lakers want a do over, Miami wants a dinner, and Portlaind is thinking he's having second thoughts. Just man up and make a decision.

I'll adjust (dumb down) for you. Cool?

[rjv]

Hibbert is the most logical. Available for nothing.

but one of the reasons, according to the indianapolis star, that hibbert may be available is because: "Hibbert, a two-time All-Star, struggled mightily in 2014-15, averaging his fewest points per game (10.6) since his rookie season (7.1). Larry Bird and Frank Vogel have stated time and time again the team's desire to play a more up-tempo style -- one that doesn't fit Hibbert's game.", and I'm not sure this would bode well for how he would fit in here. Hell, I'd almost say if the spurs can't sign LMA that they just to the way of small ball and see who they can get to fit into that scheme.

[Red Eye Jedi]

Dose him with some Ambien and have him sleep-talk to Aldridge on the phone.
And record it too! I'm sure the conversation will be awesome!

[aal04]

The only player i want is a center who can defend PnR thats healthy. And id rather get someone slightly less skilled than Splitter if it means they are more likely to be healthy. Splitter healthy is perfect, but splitter with splitter health was detrimental to the team.

Im not sold on LMA. He forces Duncan to play C and we have no backup C, and we will probably lose Mills/Belli as well. He guts our bench and makes our C position a question mark.

[Mr. Body]

Sure looking like Lamarcus packed his stuff and ran away from home like a 5-year-old. He just wants to be wanted. Lillard is probably the first one in the organization to make an effort. Everyone else just expected him to be gone.

[ElNono]

Economically speaking, going back to Portland doesn't make sense. Sure, he gets the guaranteed 5th year, but with the cap about to explode, that's actually leaving money on the table.

Not to mention that it's easier for him to extract one more big money deal at 34 than at 35...

How would it play out though if returned to Portland? He'd essentially be a poor mans Malone in a league were Stockton was the true star. Everyone would blame him for the FO inability to get more talent and everyone would know he only stayed for the TOSB paychecks. Like Kobe without the rings.
