Trade LMA

[coachmac87]

Hate to say it but it’s the best move


Do it RC

[RD2191]

Hot take time

[alpha_HaZE]

Being saying it since ever.

[HarlemHeat37]

He's currently one of the best tank commanders in the league, trading him would be stupid:lol

[NASpurs]

The guy is a fucking diva. Send his ass somewhere else.

[Genovaswitness]

real talk. soft bitch made pussy sits down the entire 4th quarter and purtle does work. fuck lapussy

[Hoops Czar]

He's currently one of the best tank commanders in the league, trading him would be stupid:lol
That's all NBA tank commander to you.

[coachmac87]

Hot take time

Duh

[apalisoc_9]

No one wants Aldridge :lol

I guess a team like hornets can use him.

[TheGreatYacht]

Middle school coach with an actual good take. That's a first.

Lets own the entire first round, Spurs :toast

Just keeping it real

[RD2191]

Kind of feel bad for LMA tbh. Things definitely haven't gone the way he expected. I bet he regrets ever signing with SA.

[HarlemHeat37]

His body language and demeanor is so destructive..poor effort, ugly style of basketball, horrible shot selection, he's depressing to watch..

It was tolerable last season when he was a legit MVP candidate, but looks like he emptied the tank with that run..

[Twisted_Dawg]

The time to trade him was before the 2018 draft after he had put together a decent season. Realistically at that time probably the best we could have gotten was a 15-20 range pick. The year before when he threw his fit and demanded a trade, wasn't Pop wanting a top 10 back? Delusional old man.

[TheGreatYacht]

No one wants Aldridge :lol

Jordan will easily take that trade :lol

Hornets get : Lamarcus Aldridge

Spurs get: Biyombo, Bacon, 2019 first round pick

He did and then he signed an extension. :lol No need to feel sorry for him. He's getting what he deserves.

Trade him to Atlanta for Prince and Bazemore

[marinoman]

Lma for Beal lol

He just can’t be a #2...and that’s his role as long as DeRozan is here...gotta move him

[Dverde]

Washington could be dumb enough and trade Otto Porter for him. On paper Wall, Beal, LMA are a contender. They seem desperate to do something.

[coachmac87]

As we all just witnessed what our offense should be..our “bigs” need to roll or shoot 3’s he does neither.

LMA has value.hes locked in and as a #1 option he gets ALL NBA production..

[TheGreatYacht]

Washington could be dumb enough and trade Otto Porter for him. On paper Wall, Beal, LMA are a contender. They seem desperate to do something.
Spurs would be even dumber to trade for the worst contract in all of sports.

[spin8]

I like the idea of trading Aldridge to the Brooklyn Nets for Spencer Dinwiddie, DeMarre Carroll, and Ed Davis. All guys who can defend and are all expirings after this season. I don't know if that's something the Nets want though.

[sasaint]

He did and then he signed an extension. :lol No need to feel sorry for him. He's getting what he deserves.

Feel sorry for HIM?! Hell, what about ME?! I didn't want him in the first place but I've had to live with the whiny, soft diva while he led the Spurs to NBA purgatory.

[marinoman]

God no, what’s your next suggestion lma for batum?

Doubt they do.

[Mirrornick]

DD would average 35/5/5 if LMA is gone tbh

I think the Spurs would be even better without LMA. The ball movement will improve too/

[Figa]

Agree with everybody. His dogshit efficiency is easily replaceable by role players as it was shown tonight. His ISO tendencies were useful when he was an above average player.
He's approaching Melo levels of "basketball malignancy" (I don't like the word Cancer)

[sasaint]

IF they trade LMA Bruce deserves a second Jersey Retirement Ceremony

And an apology.

[Hoops Czar]

And the Spurs would still get their shit pushed in so what's your point?

[Mirrornick]

And the Spurs would still get their shit pushed in so what's your point?

what's your point lmao

[spin8]

I don't mind watching DeRozan go for 35 a night even if it ends in a loss. That's way more entertaining than watching Aldridge take fade away long distance twos that graze off the front of the rim.

[Dverde]

Spurs would be even dumber to trade for the worst contract in all of sports.

I also don’t see the fascination with Otto Porter, but he seems like one of the most logical trade option with the teams struggling. Murray and Porter could shore up the Spurs defense next year. Who would you want to trade for?

[coachmac87]

Spurs-LMA, First rd pick

Hawks- Bazemore, Prince, Dedmon

[Kobe'sAchilles]

To where and for what?

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol patfo kowtowing to this pos to make him happy at the expense of kawhi as 1st option cause the pos wasnt happy not getting t ouches

whats the point of givin him touches if his going to be a jumpshooting big, instead of using his size downlow to put more pressure on the defense... guy is a fkn clown....

baynes, boban, dedmon were low ball usage guys, but they know excel in other areas that was needed that doesnt show on the scorecard...defense, setting screens... spurs overpaid for the wrong pos to keep

[Ruler]

Ok I swear i just wrote my thread withiut seeing this one. I posted a similar post to my thread here on reddit a while earlier. On my thread i thought Aldridge + TOR pick for John Collins + saralry player

[sasaint]

http://i67.tinypic.com/330z87m.jpg

Apparently you don't know much about the Wiz. The issue is Beal/Wall do not like each other. Besides Wall is on one of the worst contracts in the league which is about to kick into supermax-overdrive. Absolute no-go with Wall.

[Mugen]

I wonder if Pat Riley will take him tbh

[spin8]

Spurs-LMA, First rd pick

Hawks- Bazemore, Prince, Dedmon

Too bad Prince is out for three weeks with an injury, otherwise I like this trade. Are you including the Raptors' first rounder or the Spurs?

Whatever gets the deal done

[Mr. Body]

Aldridge could do well in the east. There are few posts worth a shit over there.

[TDMVPDPOY]

like i said, spurs shouldve stick with kawhi even b4 chasing LMA during FA...watching a 1man t eam dominating all possessions is better then watchin this pos jumpshooting bricks against midgets

just like how we are watching DD on a 1man team with no fkn help....

ppl would get their moneys worth watching a 1man team showing off all his offensive weapons, then say a jumpshooting big crying about touches

They chased LMA Kawhi underperformed against the Clippers...Duncan on last leg..and at that time LMA was considered the better player..

Except Kawhi transformed into elite so hard it kinda fucked things up..

[Chris]

Only thing I've seen recently is they called out their teammates, so I'm not sure what you are talking about tbh. Not saying you are wrong either.

We desperately need a PG, and the contracts in this league are only going to get more ridiculous. Wall's contract isn't as bad you think it is looking at the tenure.

Wall and Beal have had issues that the team has tried to smooth over for several seasons. You need to look up Wall's extension. It is common knowledge that the Wiz can't find any takers for him. Do not want him.

[LCM]

Whiteside is maxed there, even though he's a headache. They are really liking Bam Adebyo, and the Spurs would want him in the deal.

Some ST posters didn't want His Softness regardless of Kawhi's performance.

[spin8]

I mean wasn't his mo that he couldn't exist with Lillard being the Literal Billboard Poster Boy of the Franchise.

I mean LMA was second banana to Brandon Roy then They went all in on Odom Those dudes tore like tissue and he emerged and thought he should be more respected or some shit by the organization

Maybe he was told at the time of the signing it was HIS TEAM or maybe he understood it that way

who knows

Pretty much as reported...

Like I said, not saying you are wrong about the friction. I was reading that New York is ready to make a play for Wall, and the Lakers already tried to get him with a "Lonzo" package.

[jmard5]

Same people. You all should get a room.

[sasaint]

Not many teams want Lonzo, either; NY and LA are hardly teams to hold up as examples of how to do things.

[MoSpur02]

Spurs-LMA, First rd pick

Hawks- Bazemore, Prince, Dedmon

If you're going to trade LaMarcus to Atlanta you have to get John Collins in exchange. Otherwise there's no point.

[LCM]

Jordan will easily take that trade :lol

Hornets get : Lamarcus Aldridge

Spurs get: Biyombo, Bacon, 2019 first round pick

I like it because it gets LMA's last year of the contract off the books when our young guys turn into RFA's. Bacon would be a nice addition to the bench, and Biyombo would fill the minutes to give Jakob a rest. Set screens, follow shots, dive to the basket, protect the rim, grab rebounds, all knowing he's not going to finish games. Just be a defensive minutes eater.

[NickiRasgo]

No offense to LMA, but I think he's the reason of the downfall of the Spurs when they signed him. :depressed I'm too was excited about it because he's the next biggest signing of the Spurs since RJ.

[UZER]

If he would just beast down low, he would be incredible. But no, has to constantly shoot weak ass fade-aways.

[timtonymanu]

Should have done this last year

[r0drig0lac]

No one wants Aldridge :lol

this

right

no way

[SouthTexasRancher]

I've been saying it all season. He needs to be gone. He doesn't fit and he makes absolutely, positively no effort to fit. He is hurting the team more than helping. PATFO should see what they can get for him and if it would benefit the team then pull the trigger.

[RC_Drunkford]

you trade him for Beal. Try to get Jeff Green in that deal as well

[dbestpro]

If he would just beast down low, he would be incredible. But no, has to constantly shoot weak ass fade-aways.

This is the point. He is not going to play like a center. He needs a center on the floor to play with him. When there is a center on the floor and he plays PF, he is highly effective.

[jermaine]

This makes sense

[Big Empty]

He's currently one of the best tank commanders in the league, trading him would be stupid:lol
Tha Tank Commander 😂😂😂

[Mugen]

Should have done this last year

[duncan2k5]

Told u so... Since the year he demanded a trade I've been saying we needed to trade him no matter what... Extending him at the beginning of that season was a very stupid move

[OldMan88]

If he would just beast down low, he would be incredible. But no, has to constantly shoot weak ass fade-aways. Bingo... We have a winner. Time to trade him anywhere for anyone who can shoot or high draft picks. See if JP develops.

[sasaint]

This is the point. He is not going to play like a center. He needs a center on the floor to play with him. When there is a center on the floor and he plays PF, he is highly effective.

Whether he is listed as a C or a PF his shot selection isn't different. Besides he is not a capable PF in the modern league. Modern PFs have a great deal more mobility and can play on the perimeter. The Spurs do not need to add another big to muck up things even worse. They need to move LMA before he loses all value.

[HWoodNixon]

Why not just buy out his contract? Cap room is always helpful to have.

[rasuo214]

After the 2016/17 season there was a post about making realistic trade offers for LMA, this was mine:



Spurs Get:
Drummond
Mudiay
Stanley Johnson

Denver Gets
LMA

Detroit Gets:
Barton
Chandler
Danny Green

Wish it happened. There would have been no need to re-sign Patty after getting Mudiay, Spurs would have a better SF than Cunningham, and Drummond would be an upgrade over LMA. Plus all of them are young players.

[itzsoweezee]

Come on, no one is taking on that albatross of a contact

[SAGirl]

timmy :depressed

[JPB]

Why do the wiz do this ?

[JeffDuncan]

Why do the wiz do this ? [Re trade of Beal for LMA]

The Wiz do that because they have suffered a psychotic episode, and think they are trading a sea serpent for a unicorn.

Is how that trade works. Hey, it could happen.

Spurs-LMA, First rd pick

Spurs have to give up the best player and a 1st round pick? cool story...

[daslicer]

Just Never Came Together
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/37/cc/bd/37ccbd2ceed45efc3cd91e1c08b47f3b.jpg

I think LMA genuinely liked Duncan. I noticed during their first year together when LMA was down Tim knew how to console him and get his head in the game.

[Slippy]

Could you imagine how life as a spurs fan would be if some of these cats were Gms. Lol

Get rid of the one guy that plays a lick of d. You better make sure you getting adequate defenders back .

[jermaine]

Soooooo basically LMA csn hit his fully potential with us cuz he doesn't have another defensive big next to him!?! He cant play offense an defense at an elite level.

[tbdog]

Not at this age and the minutes required.

[RC_Drunkford]

Duncan is LA's favorite player

[TD 21]

I guess you could argue addition by subtraction, but if the best he can fetch is something like Nurkic, Harkless, 1st, is it even worth it? Because if that's all he's worth, I'd rather they try to come to an understanding or compromise with him.

I can live with the post ups, especially when he has a clear advantage, but the pick-and-pop long 2s have to go. Those need to become 3s. The face ups, when he can't beat his man off the dribble and settles for some awkward, contorted shot, has to go too. Those needs to be kick outs and resets.

Unlike a year and a half ago, the Spurs hold the hammer this time. Since championship contention is now a pipe dream, they don't need him to continue to work towards that and good luck to him finding another team that allows him to play archaically.

[jermaine]

Purtell is playing better than LMA

JV + CJ for Softridge. :lol

So has he been traded yet?

That's how he's always been. Shit ass finesse garbage pissed me off when he was at UT.
