Would you trade LMA for Marc Gasol straight up?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

With these LMA rumors swirling, would this be a trade you'd entertain?

[Spur-Addict]

If we had to, yes. It would be hard to get close to equal value back in this sort of scenario, so a Marc Gasol acquisition would be a good return.

[Chinook]

Fuck no. Ew.

[dabom]

Op blows.

[Dre_7]

Fuck no. Ew.

This.

I'm happy with Aldridge. dude can score!

[mo7888]

No...we aren't trading him but, if we did it wouldn't be a fire sale for an injury concern that doesn't have upside.... If we were trading I would think trades like Butler and Mirotic or Gibson for La or maybe if a team like New Orleans need to trade Davis because he became disgruntled...something along those lines...

[mookie2001]

marc is older and rebounds even less than lamarcus. so no

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

marc is older and rebounds even less than lamarcus. so no

Ya man, but with Pau here he is redundant... Lets talk defense.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Defense would be solid, scoring take a fairly large hit.

LMA>MG

[GSH]

The Spurs would still be stuck with Parker and Anderson, so the season his hopeless.

I know trading LMA is trending, but it's not going to get you nearly as many responses as Porker/Fathead hate.

[cd98]

No, Gasol ball won't work in the new NBA.

[ceperez]

Spurs may not have a choice, in that case, I would pull the trigger on this deal.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gasol got injured reading this thread tbh

[spursistan]

nah..but i would take a flier with an LMA-Cousins swap :lol

[GSH]

Gasol got injured reading this thread tbh


Exactly.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

heck yeah, and make it a three way with minny to get Rubio

[apalisoc_9]

I would trade a donkey for Aldridge//

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I think people are seriously underrating the defense of Marc. I think Pau could make up for much of Aldridge's offense.

[sasaint]

Dream big: LMA and Danny for Butler and RoLo.

[tonight...you]

Dream big: LMA and Danny for Butler and RoLo.
It just moved...

[sasaint]

It just moved...

Heck, the rumors about Butler's being disaffected in Chicago are every bit as credible as the rumors about LMA in SA. :lol Kawhi and Butler would be beasts on both ends of the floor. And I think RoLo is like a rich man's healthy Tiago.

[Kawhitstorm]

Dream big: LMA and Danny for Butler and RoLo.

Butler was beefing w/ Rose over whose team it was & RoLo/Pau/Lee would get destroyed on PnRs.

[Kawhitstorm]

Heck, the rumors about Butler's being disaffected in Chicago are every bit as credible as the rumors about LMA in SA. :lol

Butler was unhappy w/ Rose not giving him the keys to the team similar to how LMA didn't want to accept the Blazers transitioning to being Lillard's team.


I think RoLo is like a rich man's healthy Tiago.

RoLo is one of the worst PnR defenders in the league which is the exact opposite of a healthy Tiago.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Would do it in a heartbeat.

[james evans]

Any big that can shoot the jumper and actually attempts to play defense is an upgrade from Aldridge. wtf is wrong with him this season?

[james evans]

This.

I'm happy with Aldridge. dude can score!
But is softer than a dirty warm diaper in the post

[99 Problems]

Yes. Marc Gasol is a premier big man. Top end quality.

[bigfan]

Yeppers

[lefty]

What about trading Porker for Marc?

But Porker wouldn't accept to be a 3rd string PG there

[$pursDynasty]

nope didn't want it when both were available, made no sense with Timmay, and I think LMA is a better fit immediately and long term

[Chinook]

Still no.

[NameLess Scrub]

With 3 Cs that can't play PF, Who would play PF? Lee?

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus has been horrible TBH.

He's not playing like the second best player in the team and he looks like he's mailing it in very often. I am kind of fed up he shows up out of shape and looks like he doesn't give two f*cks out there. He doesn't set good screens, he can't bully anyone in the paint and draw fouls when his shot isn't falling and he needs Tony to set the table for him every time or he disappears. It's fine that Kawhi is the best player, but Lamarcus has taken deferral to a whole new level and he's paid to play like a star.

OTOH Gasol with his injury history is not a good idea and now that Pop got the older Gasol, there is no point but I am disappointed in Lamarcus this season.

[TheGreatYacht]

Availability is the best ability. Nope. That Gasol extension will looks just as bad as the Conley contract

LMA's contract is a tremendous steal in this market.

more posters coming on board :tu

Trade his ass for picks and young prospects; dude isn't good enough to pull this act in San Antonio..

How did it behoove him to come out in this terrible shape-- after taking the summer off (no Olympics), in Year 2 within Spurs system, and most importantly, when he's been called upon to share responsibility of carrying the torch from Tim Duncan-- if not for being a certified loser at heart ..

[Kawhitstorm]

I would trade Pau for Marc.:wakeup

[dabom]

I would trade any shit poster that thinks Marc is any good for a reddit nba poster. :lmao

[spursistan]

Bump.

^ Aldridge vs Gasol 2018-19 seasons comparison.

To think this was even debated around a here coupe of years ago..:lol They are now in different tiers. One is a borderline washed up role player; the other is still an All Star and the best player on a playoffs team..

Glad the Spurs never went that route. In fact, Aldridge's longevity is starting to look impressive.. Even Superstars from his age group (Lebron, CP3) have noticeably lost a step or two..

[BillMc]

LMA's game should age well.

[ezau]

LMA can still play at this level two or three years from now. One reason he wanted to play for the Spurs is the way the team was able to extend Tim's career.

LMA is in the best spot he could be in. Pop's about the only coach in the league that still embraces the midrange game. He'd be standing around watching everyone else score on another NBA team, and we know how the rest of his game tends to regress when he's not the focal point of the offense. LMA will retire a Spur would be my guess.

[illusioNtEk]

Lol at this thread

[FkLA]

Would be weird having two #12s up in the rafters, tbh.

This is true. As long as Pop is around, LMA’s role is safe here. But if he starts demanding trades or gets a big head bc of his production within this, one of the last, systems that reward mid range shooting big men, he might get his wish to get traded but won’t be a fit on another team.

LaMarcus just said that he sees himself rPortland to finish his career.

LMA is the rock of the Spurs. We're not gonna win a championship with him but he proved me wrong last/this season. Marc looks about done. I don't know his contract situation, but if it goes beyond this year, the Raptors screwed themselves.

Fat Gasol has a 25 mills player option for next season

[8sy21vd]

Guess it will just be Fat Gasol hibernating in the north when nephew bolts for the Clips show lol

Well, that kind of sucks if true.

[MoSpur02]

Well, that kind of sucks if true.



He'll be 35 going on 36 by that time so I'm good with it.

[Slippy]

LA should talk up Lillard joining the spurs . One team knows what it takes to win championship. That solid relationship goes both ways. Plus why follow his coattails.
