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

[AFBlue]

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...

A future contract beyond three or four years isn't a guarantee. It makes financial sense to take a 5yr deal because it's a guaranteed $27M.

In this market- not necessarily a bad deal. I'm still reeling at Baynes for 20. The Other Lopez for 20 for 1 year!!! What the crap!

Jesus 4000+ post for 2nd option.

I've said it already, he already agreed verbally with the spurs with a 37-39 million two year deal.

[AFBlue]

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.

He knows what he has with them...no mystery or intrigue. If you've ever been recruited by someone else, it's pretty cool to get a peek into how other organizations think, and how you might fit. Different is interesting. That doesn't mean at the end of the day he's going to make the jump.

I mean, everyone tabbed the Spurs as the front runner because they're a first class organization. I think they have a legit shot. But, I can also see a scenario where he doesn't make the jump after all.

[benfti]

I'm offically getting really worried.

if he had made up his mind in anyway, he would not be taking second meetings, and teams like the Suns would not be fire selling if they were only a chance to get him. Im really happy we resigned Danny and Kawhi but we have litterally no depth at the 5 and in the current market I dont know if our cap space will get anyone available thats as good as either Tiago or Banger

[TXstbobcat]

Great, by the time LMA makes up his mind the Spurs will be picking through the free agent scrap pile and D-league centers.

Yup.... this indeed is a problem considering that LA doesn't want to play center and doesn't want to do the dirty work of having to defend against the opponents offensive big.

Big disaster in the making if we Spurs don't get anything from the Splitter dump.

[Mr. Body]

Maybe the FO just wanted to flip Splitter via cap space for a center who isn't made of glass and they never cared about Aldridge.

[Beaverfuzz]

Been saying that's the likeliest scenario since this thing kicked off.

The benefits of signing the huge deal in two years when the cap rises significantly outweigh the current MAX deal the Blazers can offer. All you have to do is remain healthy for two years.

A center who plays 50% of the time is better than no center at all. It is even worse if you want to spare Duncan from having to work his ass off.

Phoenix needed to dump those players to create space for TC and Sarver is notoriously cheap so it makes sense. Banger was long gone, our QO would have not meant anything if Detroit was wiling to pay 3/20 off the bat in a fairly quick deal. Tiago is the mystery and the Spurs pulled the trigger fast either knowing they have a way to get Aldridge or just being fed up with Splitters inability to heal quickly or play through mystery injuries. He went to a good organization and we don't know exactly what we would get in return, lots of moving parts right now.

Ultimately Aldridge will come here though, that's my belief, he's just taking his time to make sure everyone has had an opportunity to say everything they can to him and he's taking a 2nd with Lakers because of basketball reasons, maybe they have a plan to trade for someone and he needs to know about it. It's a process but he's going through it meticulously. It's only day 2 of FA.. Plenty of time to figure out what we will do once we land him and if we don't plenty of time to make deals, call FA's, see who's available overseas, Summer League guys..

They were probably done dealing with his mystery ailments. But I do think Aldridge was the main play.

[Mr. Body]

Yeah, I was actually being facetious. But also suggesting they're okay with moving Splitter regardless. With a max cap space they can straight up absorb players.

The Suns gave up three terrible players, if you see them trade Markieff Morris though then you'll know LMA is about to commit to them.

Don't really know who Bill Ingram is but he's more reputable than you'd think for a guy whose Twitter handle is "TheRocketGuy" :lol

1) he's verified on Twitter

2) he's followed by Zach Lowe and a few other NBA reporters

3) he's been featured on Basketball Insiders before

he's the one guy everyone is citing

I'm down brother. You want to coop? I'm the answer to your prayers. I'll get you through anywhere, or speed through with you. I can take a 32'S through a 35 PoE and pride myself on that.

You want to test your skills mano y mano? I'm pleased to oblige also, although I'm not sure how that can be done. I'm open to suggestions though. I'm a relative noob to the PS4. I'm self-employed (which I will never do otherwise, it's great) and I work out of my house with a PS4 and I am almost always (I have to go out of town at least 3 days a week usually) ready to place the prize on the floor and say Come Get It.

Or just throw down with a fellow Spurs Fan. That would be pretty badass.

Good thing I use my Red Death instead. I just bet Timmy plays. I'd throw down on a Raid with him any day.

For some reason I'm not that high on David West.

Too old school power forward for my taste and even if LMA reject being center he is still a good rim projector and fine defender overall + the immense stretching potential converting long 2s into 3s

He would be a nice 4th big, tbh, could probably score at will against bench guys..liability as a starter, though..

[daslicer]

Wow. Why would GS be out ?

He probably wants significant playing time and knows he won't get it with GS. He knows if the Spurs don't get LA he will get a lot of minutes.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol no, especially not at his age..

[Mr. Body]

West is a two-way player

Considering his comments regarding playing with gay teammates, I doubt it.

[SpursFan86]

If the Mavs got Matthews, would they have room for DeAndre still? If so, I think I'd prefer that to happen. Clippers would be shit out of luck now that Tyson went to Phoenix, and Dallas even with Wes/DJ still isn't contending.

As for David West, I'd love to have him if we got Aldridge too or somehow got Splitter back if the trade was contingent on LMA coming here...but if we essentially traded Splitter for West, that'd be pretty shitty.

[illusioNtEk]

If we are all so sure LMA is joining the Spurs then whats the hold up?

[Uriel]

I stayed up until 1 AM waiting for Aldridge's decision, then woke up at 6 AM after only 5 hours of sleep just to check again if he had already made up his mind. Now it's 10:42 AM, and I'm here in the office, sleep deprived and sleepy as fuck, getting zero work done, and still refreshing my Twitter feed for updates.

[baseline bum]

I like West in a vacuum, but where would he fit on the Spurs? You can't play him at center in either big or smallball. Certainly not as versatile a player as Diaw, so no way I'd want to give him Boris' minutes.

[Rito3d30]

If LMA's not coming, imagine the meltdown:flag:

I can only think he takes Aldridge's role off the bench as the mid-range shooter. And then Diaw... well, I don't know.

[DesignatedT]

Looks like West is willing to wait for the Spurs. If we could get him and solid C it would still make for a great off season all things considered

[Plum Island]

So we moved Tiago for West? Nice, real nice.
Emotionally? With you all the way on this.
Watch Tiago's calf be immaculate all year next year.

I wouldn't be surprised, tbh. Spurs kind of luck.

[objective]

:lol no, especially not at his age..

True. Pacer fans by and large came to hate west's season, consensus was that he quit on the team after the Paul George injury and there's plenty of game threads on pacer forums with lots of complaining about his bad, slow defense and poor rebounding.

He's basically as done as Dice and Kurt Thomas were when they got here, over the hill bench players forced into starting roles on a spurs team that couldn't or wouldn't get better players on the court.

for a guy who is fascinated/obsessed by iq you seem to be taking an interesting approach to this

David West 2015 stats:

Turns over per game - 1.8
FG perct - 47

Great point.

Trading splitter for West is like trading pau for kwame. Zero versatility, much worse on defense, age related injuries, and not better for the offense when you consider everything splitter did with screens and rolls.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Can the Spurs sign both LMA and West?

I think so. West has said he'll be cheap for a contender, namely the Spurs.

[Ron Swanson]

West would have to take one hell of a pay cut.

Fuck Tiago Splitter. That fragile, gimpy bitch couldn't stay healthy. Ab contusions and freak calf injuries. Seriously? I'm glad he's gone whether LMA comes or not. And while we're at it, fuck LMA for dragging this shit out too. Weak-minded scrub. No wonder he hasn't won shit in his career. Im having second thoughts about him. He might infect the Spurs with his losing-ass self. Get some people in here who want to win and know it.

[dbreiden83080]
