It's all on how hard he worked during the offseason to shore up his game. I think having a taller guy who can handle the ball and run the team is going to be valuable going forward without Manu. I think the characterizations about his speed are overblown. I guess we'll find out pretty soon.

Given another 2 weeks or so this thread could legitimately reach 1000 pages. Don't think that's a good thing.

The team seems high on him. I expect him to be getting a lot of minutes and make the rotation but not break-out. If anything, I think he replaces Marco's spot.

If by some miracle we get LMA and West, who else would would the Spurs go after that is realistic?

If we hit 200 then LaMarcus will be a Spur. So it is written

I think the sixers are the perfect team for Aldridge. No lack of bigman to play center there.

:wakeup

there goes marco....

God Spurs to the Kings for Marco...what a culture shock he's in for...

Good for Marco. Brother earned his ring and his tattoo.

19 million over 3 for Marco, 45 over 4 for Danny...

See what a difference a little "D" can do?

Exactly

Happy for Marco. He gets paid and gets to chuck away on a shitty team.

:lol Kings

Sacramento got a much better deal than Portland with their $30 million for Aminu.

FERRARI IS GONE????

:cry

Thanks, Ferrari.

Thanks belli, but close the door when you're gone.

Who will get Ayers? Who will pay him 36 mil for a 3 yr deal?

So if LMA goes and asks Pop's questions to a bunch of other teams (which would be indicated if his questions were unusually poignant for a FA) that means he already trusts and buys into Pop. It also means Pop can simultaneously convince LMA that SA is the best fit, AND use him for some intelligence-gathering on other teams.

CIA Pop indeed.

So all you quivering nancies can just settle down. This is all of Day 3 in free agency. If the Spurs get their man, fantastic. If they don't, life will go on.

Spurs already lost 3 good role players. Aldridge better comes.

Spurs losing depth (Marco, Baynes, Splitter, possibly Manu) LMA better sign or we will almost certainly be a weaker team (at least in the short run).

Also, we're almost out of foreign white guys!!! :lol

Sorry if I missed it, but did Pop already have the second meeting with LMA today?
