Is Aldridge Gonna Be Traded or Opt Out Next Season

[MoSpur02]

Why not do a sign and trade for Grizzlies JaMychal Green. If I recall Pop stated he regretted letting him go or something like that.

[ceperez]

Going to be traded for Marc Gasol.

Likely a package deal that will include Murray as a sweetener.

Don't see the Spurs trading away Murray in a deal that is already fair enough.

[ceperez]

If it's for Marc Gasol, then it certainly is fair enough.

[Chinook]

Because he's like five or six times better than fucking JaMychal

[Spurtacular]

If it's for Marc Gasol, then it certainly is fair enough.

32-year-old (former) all star big on max contract for 32 year-old (former) all star big on max contract. It doesn't get more fair enough, dude.

[cd98]

This is the big question. I think it depends on how he plays this year. If he has a strong year, he opts out for a big payday. If he doesn't, then maybe he holds on for one more year. There isn't going to be a lot of teams with cap space, so he'll need an all star season to get the big contract.

[Spurtacular]

If anything, better for the Grizz. One less bloated year on LMA's contract.

[Chillen]

Would a Gasol brothers towers even work in todays NBA? Duncan and Robinson was amazing. Marc and Pau, hmmm.

[Atl Spur]

I'm thinking they will use Kyle as a sweetner...... that way Memphis will save money not having to re-sign J. Green for some crazy price and have Lamarcus off the books next year.

[Big Empty]

We don't trade him and he ops out next year. Why do it if you are the Grizzlies? If they trade Gasol it will be for a younger player or someone that can help them rebuild. We have to roll with the current squad and hope we can sign a free agent or be part of a team deal that is looking to unload players to land one of them LeBrons that wont come to San Antonio

[Big Empty]

I predict he opts out and signs with Houston for a similar contract after they unload Anderson for him.

worth a try?

where do you get this from :lol

I'm worried that in a year, Murray might not be thought of as a sweetener.

[Joseph Kony]

Grizzlies are not trading Marc for LMA :lol

[SpursforSix]

Grizzlies are not trading Marc for LMA :lol

what about a package deal.
Marc and Conley for LMA, Pau, and Parker?

[Leetonidas]

Why the fuck would Memphis do that?? :lmao

[td4mvp2k]

what about a package deal.
Marc and Conley for LMA, Pau, and Parker?that would be great without pau but i dont see memphis helping the spurs tbh

[SpursforSix]

Why the fuck would Memphis do that?? :lmao

Whoops. I thought I was posting in the Think Tank. Figures no one here gets it.

[SpursforSix]

that would be great without pau but i dont see memphis helping the spurs tbh

If Spurs are getting Marc, I don't think Pau has much of a role anymore. Memphis gets to dump Conleys contract and have Parker (4 time NBA Champion, 1 Finals MVP) on the cheap.

[tholdren]

No but lee dedmon did

[Poolboy5623]

I thought he was already traded for Kristaps??

[sananspursfan21]

Didn't we already give JaMychal a chance? Plus I don't think Danny would want to play on the same team as his brother.

[cd021]

I could see him opting in after having a similar season to this past one.

[SAGirl]

I'm thinking they will use Kyle as a sweetener awful trade that needs no sweetener tbh. Come up with a better troll thread.

[timtonymanu]

lol I dislike Aldridge as much as a lot of people on here but Jaymachal Green?! Seriously?

[cd021]

If your talking about a S&T for LMA and J. Green? Why would the Spurs have to include Anderson? Memphis would already be getting the better player of the two.

Don't see why Memphis does it though, they would have something like $126 million in payroll and be well over the luxury tax. If they could attach Brendan Wright they would still be in the tax but close enough to try and get below it.

And looking at that, that is an awful trade for the Spurs and a way to get worse. If things like that are all that Spurs get for LMA they likely stay put with him... I really didn't take the suggestion seriously but a JMych Green who is a roleplayer and needs to be re-signed in a long term deal is a horrible trade. No need for any kind of sweetener attached.

[BatManu20]

Grizzlies are not trading Marc for LMA :lol

wrong thread

[minuzzo21]

My dream is LMA+ someone else, maybe Green, for Anthony Davis

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Basically this. If he has a very good year he will opt out

[mudyez]

Keep dreaming!

lamarcus is going to have a big year...BIG LEAGUE!!

KingSlayer better start buddying up to him this year then, become snapchap buds or whatever.

Donkey's approach of sending dick pics on Snapchat only works for Durant. Anthony Davis won't fall for that shit.

maybe we can trade Kyle Anderson and Bryn Forbes for Lebron after that too!

[south side spur]

The realistic option is landing Capela. Can Houston afford to match?

[dabom]

"No" - SAGirl

[DAF86]

If the Irving trade doesn't go down (like it will probably be the case), what about trading Aldridge and one of either Murray, Anderson or Forbes to the Suns in exchange of Bledsoe and Chandler?

-The Spurs get the starting PG they need and a true center, which they also need.

-The Suns get the best player on the trade (suppossedly), a prospect for the future and the chance of unloading Chandler's contract.

Who says no? Spurs need a starting PG and had already shown interest in Chandler this offseason. Suns had already shown interest in Aldridge and vice versa, so he may comit to them.

Spurs get a rotation of:

-Bledsoe, Green, Kawhi, Bertans/Gay, Chandler.
-Mills, Manu, Anderson, Gay/Bertans, Gasol.

Better than what we have right now, imho.

[cd98]

That's too much salary for the Spurs to take on in my opinion and doesn't help them beat GSW.

They're both china dolls. No thanks, Phoenix can keep their trash.

Especially Chandler.

[duncan2k5]

We HAVE to trade this cancer BEFORE this season... He doesn't wanna be here and his play last year showed that

[Chinook]

LMA for Bledsoe would be bad, but adding in another asset and taking back Tyson? Phoenix better be sending back at least the Miami pick for this year.

Who gives a shit now? They mortgaged their future on Mills + Gasol + Gay.

[Chinook]

Really feel like Gay shouldn't be on that list seeing as he signed a one-year deal

[BillMc]

It'll be interesting to see if he comes in great shape ready to earn that next contract (from whichever team) or if he's the type who pushes out his frustration and ignores basketball all summer, gaining weight and chilling somewhere.

LMA is just about at the age where playing himself into shape won't work as well anymore.

[baseline bum]

He probably won't live up to the value of his contract if Billups and Matthews are any indications of what a post achilles tear career looks like, in which case he'll keep his $8.8 million anchor around our necks for 2018-19.

I'd much rather have Aldridge than Gasol at 16 million per. I really do have to step away from anything Basketball related for a while after that contract. I've gotta not think about it.

yeh, I just don't get it.

Both suck... But Aldridge doesn't wanna be here and will leave for nothing... What don't u get about that?

Well we don't know if the LMA rumour of hating it here is true. It was an odd leak and no words from him. I don't get the contract we gave Gasol.

Pretty sure it's true. He didn't deny it.

[BillMc]

It will be awkward to see if he's included in the HEB commercials if no trade happens in the next two months or so....

Patty: "LaSharkus, why are you stocking up on HEB prime steaks?"

LMA: "Because I won't be able to get the damn things in Phoenix."

Kawhi: "Indubitably."

[MoSpur02]

He will probably be traded mid season if they can't unload him before the season. Why would you want him here if he doesn't wanna be here.

[Horse]

A shame cause before Kawhi went down LA and Leonard were taking turns shitting on gaymond. Seems he was ok if Kawhi is there to hold his hand.

[skulls138]

Well now he knows. Difference between KL and LMA is KL isnt just satisfied being on a pretty good team. I get the feeling LMA was. Dont think hes going ro get away with that in SA so might as well go all in.
