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

[DPG21920]

I don't think the Spurs would take the contract themselves. They probably want to have Cleveland trade it directly to Portland along with Reggie Williams and some incentives. Wouldn't love the deal, but if the Spurs could get LMA and stay over the cap with only losing Diaw, Mills and Williams, it's not a horrible trade-off, though it would make stashing their first-rounder look even worse.

Hmm, didn't think about this scenario. Question, the apron issue with S&T only matters if you are RECEIVING a player in a S&T correct? So CLE could do this since the player being S&T'd is LMA and they aren't getting him, correct?

[DPG21920]

I mean, I'd do that trade easily if it meant the Spurs bringing in Aldridge and keeping Green. Just pointing out that Mills/Splitter makes Cleveland very good and even more of a virtual lock for the Finals next year.

Whether it's Boris/Mills or Tiago/Mills, I agree. This stacks CLE and is a great use of their Dust Chip IMO. Especially since they will keep Kyrie/Love/Bron/Moz/Thompson and probably sign a few more guys.

Kyrie/Love/Bron/Moz/Thompson/Tiago or Boris/Mills is a great core.

This

[ElNono]

The only indication it might be Splitter is the fact that salaries somewhat match, IIRC. But it doesn't mean Splitter would land on the Cavs. It could easily be a 3 team trade with an unknown third party.

What matters to the Spurs is that they would be able to clear $10m off the books.

[DPG21920]

Yup Nono - at the end of they day signing LMA while keeping Green is the plan. That's plan ABC. Then if you can luck out and do stuff over the cap to retain MLE and really fill out roster, that's extra bad ass.

[Beaverfuzz]

who the fuck is B Hayward?? yeah that sounds legit :rolleyes

Yes. They can even S&T away a player of their own and not have it affect them negatively

[ElNono]

Hopefully LMA doesn't take too long, because it's gonna take a lot of juggling and time is of the essence here.

[UZER]

It only takes one offer.

And Dallas will do it just to screw with the Spurs.

[Big P]

I say it's Tiago and CoJo.

[Knoxxx]

And Dallas will do it just to screw with the Spurs.

If we could swap Green for Monta Ellis what about that? What about Ellis for $2 million less per year? $4 million per year?

Just want to think about the flip side of who is capable of screwing with who here.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Signing Ellis would be Dallas screwing us two times.

[tholdren]

I almost think Spliiter/anyone not named ayres is too much for LMA, especially if this doesn't promise Green will return

[peacemaker885]

I mean, I'd do that trade easily if it meant the Spurs bringing in Aldridge and keeping Green. Just pointing out that Mills/Splitter makes Cleveland very good and even more of a virtual lock for the Finals next year.

This means Manu will loose two of his buds. Timmy is used to loosing his buddies with Antonio Daniels, Malik Rose and Stephen Jackson all dealt out. Manu might take this more personally. I wonder if his decision to sign up for one more year hinges on these trades.

[Mugen]

CoJo was spotted in Cleveland during the Finals. If you can S&T him along with Tiago (not sure if that's possible) then that's terrific. CLE is stacked at the front court so maybe they flip Splitter for a 2 guard shooter/scorer (conceivable).

CoJo + Solid SG + any other assets is a sweet haul for Haywood for a team that is limited what they can do this offeseason.

[Knoxxx]

LaMarcus Aldridge Draft Express:

Height without shoes: 6 - 10" (11.25" with)
Standing Reach: 9 - 2"
Wingspan: 7 - 4.75"
Vertical: 34"

All better than Splitter except a quarter inch shorter. Max vertical of 12-0 is 3 inches better than Splitter. Using Splitter since this is a possible roster swap out situation.

This is a very legit big we are after here.

[ElNono]

This means Manu will loose two of his buds. Timmy is used to loosing his buddies with Antonio Daniels, Malik Rose and Stephen Jackson all dealt out. Manu might take this more personally. I wonder if his decision to sign up for one more year hinges on these trades.

no, just no

Yes, lose Joseph over Mills. Appreciate him as a backup

Not really seeing that. But, I could see TP having some influence over whether Diaw could be traded rather than Splitter. That may be why we see no indication of that possibility.

this is getting ridiculous. Hopefully Lamar signs with Lakers tonight and we all come back to reality :lol

[kjhip1]

Listening to the Lowe Post podcast with Zach Lowe and Marc Stein, and they mention that since February there has been the idea of Aldridge going to the Spurs because he's very interested in being the guy that has to fill Duncan's shoes.

I heard the same podcast and laughed when they talked about the rumor the LA talked to Gasol during series about possibly teaming up in free agency. Would love to have seen the explosion had that come true. Everything points to LA coming here which scares me about the chances he actually comes here. It seems to good to be true. Wouldn't be surprised he takes another offer. If he does come here I just want to see what we get to shred splitters contract

Listening to people speculate and reading the tea leaves is exhausting. The easiest thing to do is follow the money. He can get paid way more to stick in Portland. I don't care about the rest of it. Money usually talks, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't this time around.

We need a PG to step up. Green is reduced in value unless he has handlers on the court with him. LMA will not solve a big problem we still face.

Tony, get to work if possible.

Don't forget the 10% state income tax he gets to pay in Portland.

[pgardn]

Maybe Tim could talk to Aldridge about what a big hit taking a salary cut means in the long run. Even after losing 25 million.

[TD 21]

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-eight-biggest-nba-free-agency-questions/

The Blazers can offer Aldridge a five-year max deal totaling about $108 million, while rival offers top out at four years and $80 million.

That advantage means much less with the coming cap boom, which opens up options that used to be too risky for players or teams. Aldridge could sign a two-year max deal with another team, then hit free agency again, sign another two-year max deal, and make more money in just the next four years — about $111 million — than Portland can offer in that traditional five-year max contract. Over the full five years, Aldridge could earn about $35 million more double-dipping in free agency than by signing the longest possible contract with the Blazers this summer. THIRTY-FIVE MILLION. Only a fool would ignore that.

[look_at_g_shred]

^sure but what are the chances of the Blazers putting him in a better position to win a title?

The last time the Spurs were considered the front-runner for a star FA (Jason Kidd in 2003), he did just that -- returned to his team.

It was a blessing in disguise, IMO, because a much younger Tony Parker stayed with the Spurs.

[tholdren]

for chinook - how could Danny Green to POR facilitate the the coming of LMA.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Maybe Tim could talk to Aldridge about what a big hit taking a salary cut means in the long run. Even after losing 25 million.

I also think that it is understated, maybe even unstated, that LA is not so blind that he can't see this organization may have him playing until he is 40 years old, instead of 36, etc. This longevity can also translate into more money on the back end to make up some of what he may lose (by not staying) in Portland. That could be something that might be enticing to a big man.

The Spurs may not be able to duplicate Duncan's results, but there is evidence that they will manage those minutes at all cost. Limited back to backs, etc.

[Duncan2177]

To be contrarian, wouldn't the difference be much less over a shorter two year deal?

And might that not be what LMA would sign in either place (setting up a mega deal when the new cap kicked in).

Edit -- That's exactly what you said -- I misread your post.

It's a double-edge sword though. He can have a career-ending injury next season and miss out on guaranteed $80m or so... this stuff is always a gamble

Last player to reject the money and choose to go somewhere else that was not "home" was.....?

Happened just last year with Bosh and Houston. There are plenty of examples of someone choosing the money. Players leaving money on the table for a new opportunity with a new team? Not so much.

Spurs are smart enough to work an alternate plan if this falls through, but unfortunately there is no Parker waiting in the wings on this roster.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Dwight?

[TheGoldStandard]

The biggest chip that the Spurs have outside of the money is success. 4 trips deep into the playoffs, 2 finals appearances and 1 ring. Money is great but you want to leave a legacy while making money and the Spurs offer that with the pieces they have. There are a couple of scenarios that could occur; LMA signs and its a good deal, he fits in and they make a deep playoff run, LMA signs and its a terrible fit and they don't make the playoffs and end up being a lottery team and get a good player in return. If he doesn't come here then we don't lose a section of our bench and we all get to bitch about how Parker screwed us and how PAFTO doesn't do anything to move the needle during summer.

[Russ]

He can also pick and pop, pick and roll, put the ball on the floor, play with back to basket, create his own shot, athletic defender that can guard perimeter or recover to guard pick and roll, great outside shot, pass, guard the 3, 4, 5 positions....oh yeah and can give you 20/20 games. A front court of Aldridge, Duncan and Kawhi is the best frontcourt in the NBA.... So yeah I'd be disappointed if we didnt get him.

James worthy and Magic are apparently with the Lakers contingent trying to woo Aldridge. Maybe we should have brought along Da Admiral and Gervin...and have Manu on fucking Skype.

I'm just waiting for a report that a fight broke out in the meeting somehow. Jeanie vs Jim, Kobe vs. LMA's mom.

Seriously, I know Worthy is in, but I'd be surprised if Magic is there. He's been very critical of Jim and Jeanie Buss since their dad died. I saw one interview where Magic called for the ouster of Jim Buss.

Since last night I've seen: Clyde "The Glide" Drexler, Chandler Parsons, Tony Parker (I said bonjour Tony to him and felt stupid). Now Dikembe Mutombo and Kevin Mchale just checked in.
I wonder if Deandre or LMA is here getting courted.
I feel like a big kid seeing all these legends here!

Aldridge only has 2 top 10 MVP finishes in his career IIRC, and I don't think he has ever cracked the top 5..he's definitely a star and a top 15-20 player in the league, but he's not a superstar or a guy that can consistently dominate at that level IMO(he can do it in stretches, like the Rockets-Blazers series last year, for example)..

[Richie]

Ken Berger reporting (http://www.cbssports.com/nba/writer/ken-berger/25229735/sources-salary-cap-could-be-significantly-higher-than-projected) that the cap could be as much as $2m higher than the expected $67.1m. That could be HUGE for the Spurs, increasing by as little as $1m means we can effectively give Aldridge his max AND keep Mills by just dumping Splitter. Going up by $2m means we could give Aldridge the max by dumping just Diaw. The Spurs get so much more flexibility with a $69m cap compared to $67m

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Listening to people speculate and reading the tea leaves is exhausting. The easiest thing to do is follow the money. He can get paid way more to stick in Portland. I don't care about the rest of it. Money usually talks, and I'll be surprised if it doesn't this time around.

Not true. He would actually make the same taking less playing for SA due to the State Income Tax. But it is that 5th year guarantee that is playing at him. Suppose the Spurs can give him a PO after the 1st year and resign him to another 4 year, more lucrative deal next year.

Lamar is the type of player you can dump the ball to on offense and hell take care of it. We don't have and haven't had that type of player since prime Duncan prime Manu and prime porker.

I think he means MegaSuperStar. Duncan and Shaq would definitely fit in that category. Aldridge is not one of those once in a generation type players. Under 25, only Davis is at this point. Even Kwahi doesn't fit that mold, and with his lack of leadership, he probably won't ever. But doesn't mean he can't be a HOF type player or a Max player.

A lot of max worthy player can't even touch Shaq or Duncan levels which is why they have multiple championships and FMVP trophies.

Is he over himself?

I don't really like the apparent pandering.
If he wants LA let him have it. We gotta have a guy willing to sacrifice NOW, for this group of players. The front office may try to sell him long term and that would be great if he is as good as he appears to be but this is a Now project first and foremost. We have a streak of good guys I would like to extend after we win again.

I'm no mathematician, but 90% of $108M still far exceeds the max $80M the Spurs could offer. It's not equal.

LaMarcus could take a risk and go with the 4yr deal with player options in the latter two, but a pay bump in yrs 3/4 aren't guaranteed...risk of severe injury or decline. Not saying he won't do it. But, on this deal alone the Spurs will be outbid by the Blazers.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned the 5th year as being a big factor. The only way the Spurs can match the Blazers is if they put in a player option after the 1st year and resign him next for another 4 year deal, which he probably make more because of the cap increase and the max amount going up because of the increase cap.

It wouldn't be too risky for LMA as he can just sign a four deal (guarantee) with a player option after the 1st. So if he had an injury this coming season, he wouldn't to negatively effected by it financially.

Other teams like LA wouldn't want to give him a 2nd year PO because he might not like playing there and just bolt (just happen with Howard). I am sure the Spurs are confident LMA would love playing in their system.

Player options can only be for the final year of a contract. Aldridge would have to sign a two year deal to have a player option after next season. Given his age and health history that's very unlikely.

Not saying it's truth. Just saying what they're saying:


http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/6/29/8865521/lamarcus-aldridge-los-angeles-lakers-nba-free-agency

When rumors first appeared about Aldridge planning to join a different team, the Spurs and then the Mavericks were reported to be his first choices. New reports suggest that has changed. As history has proven, it's impossible to count out the Lakers, who despite some bad seasons remain a free agency destination. So let's explore this rumor closely.

Why Aldridge will join the Lakers

As Bolch says, the Lakers' brand is too prestigious to be hurt by a couple of bad seasons. They are a storied franchise with a history of success that will always be among the best free agent destinations. For someone who has spent the first nine years of his career in a relatively small market like Portland, the exposure and endorsement opportunities that could come with playing in Los Angeles have to be tempting.
