Dude is soft and calling him 260# is being very nice.
He's not a winner, or a leader, and he's probably feeling butt hurt because that's just what he does.
He's a wannabe fat shooting guard who looks gassed every possession.

MaNu4Tres was sure that the Spurs were trying to trade LMA. I wonder if his "reliable" sources have any more info.

People can scoff the OP but I think trading Aldridge wouldn't be a bad idea. The Spurs aren't going to contend relying on two 40 year old guards (Parker plays like one) to go vintage in a series. If a guard was available, it's a no brainer to trade Aldridge. Especially cause he and Gasol are both redundant players.
lame's nickname is lame! dump him to the suns for Chriss, Chandler and anything else you can get. dump him anywhere for anything. He's the new RJ and the spurs will end up with the new Jackson and the new pick that could have been Ezeli or Draymond.
I wonder what we could get for him..
Sucker Vevek to trade Cousins for him
I've never been a fan(as everybody knows), but Aldridge would be a great #3 like Kevin Love, tbh..
Spurs are missing a great PG like prime TP..it's the missing piece that would make everybody else look better and fit more comfortably..
FIFY. But I agree.Quote:

Damn.
I was expecting so much more from LMA this season. He was fantastic for the final half of the season last year and had some great moments (and poor) in the playoffs. He has completely regressed :(
Many say this, but who? They didn't have the money for Conley or the assets for Hill and Teague and they weren't winning a championship with any of them running point either. Plus, they'd have been thinner inside.Quote:

If you just didn't want Gasol for whatever reason(s), like 'Tres, that's fine, but let's not pretend as if they missed out on something bigger and better.
They'd of had a better chance with Clarkson, and if they threw Gasol money at him they could've had him. Gasol is a net negative with the SL and isn't worth the $15mil he got to come off the bench for 20 mins a night.Quote:

If he was a winner, he'd be putting in the work in the offseason instead of coming into training camp out of shape. Pop just called him out a week ago by saying he's still getting in shape. Pathetic for a supposed " leader".
Clarkson is one of those guys who pounds the air out of the ball until he gets an open lane ala "Dribble-Dribble" Tony.:lolQuote:

The Spurs are going to wait until 2018 and start fresh at the PG position IMO..
MVPorker attacked off the loop play & only really dribbled-dribbled when he was running a 2-man game w/ Timmay. Clarkson on the other hand dribbles until he has a lane *which sometime never appears* so he could get HIMSELF a bucket instead of dribble-drive & kick. That's the reason Lou has the ball on the 2nd unit & Clarkson only gets to handle it when they are trying to get him to attack.Quote:

Honestly, Millsap has.looked so bad this year too...so thats a bug question mark. Unless, Atlanta is willing to help San Antonio like maybe Get Malcom Delaney for Kyle Anderso or any guard for that matter.
I agree, but I was thinking more of a PG package..Quote:

Millsap-Malcom Delaney
For Kyle-Softridge-Lapro
Involve boston or some other team for another Guard.
He has been fine on defense & on offense it has to do w/ teams packing the paint when he's on the floor w/ Dwert/Schroder so he had no driving lanes which greatly affects him since he's a face-up guy. (Bazemore is shooting 29%:lmao)Quote:
Originally Posted by apalisoc_9

He would also get WIDE OPEN looks on spotups since defenders would have to rotate on Kawhi's drive from the perimeter as Pau's man can't camp in the paint like they do w/ Dwert. Also, Millsap absolutely destroys mismatches by taking them straight to the rim instead of shooting soft fadeaways.

If you have a Millsap/Kawhi/Danny/Dedmon lineup, you can at least count on a stingy defense EVERY NIGHT while you can't count on Softridge's shot to show up. I would throw Patty in the lineup & play more uptempo like the 2nd unit while utilizing Millsap's ability to bring up the ball ala D-Lee. Basically, get stops or force turnovers then run. Danny/Patty would get a lot of those transition 3s they feasted on during the "Beautiful Game" era. The only thing Patty is also good at pressuring ball handlers so might as well make good use of it w/ Dedmon/Millsap covering his back.Quote:

Pau
Lee
Evita
Enirique
:lmao
...but Simmons/Bertans in transition::wow
reguardless of whether we trade LMA or not, I think that that is an option against GSW. Dedmon is an absolute monster on the glass and him and Aldridge would force GSW to have KD, Green, and Iggy stay back and crash the glass and keep them from getting out in transitionQuote:

Might as well start a re-load/build right now and hope to peak again while Leonard is still in his prime, rather than risk wasting it all.

A jump shooting big, you"d hope he'd age like Dirk who just NOw finally hit the wall. But you could be rightQuote:

If Westbrook and Dray can snag 12 rebounds then there is no excuse for Aldridge not to do so aswell.
Didn't feel LMA was missed, tbh..Up Pau usage and you get virtually the same offensive output with BETTER playing through his nifty passes...The hope would be Dedmon is staying enough on court to cover for the latter defenseless ass..
Aldridge didn't play tonight ??!?Quote:

Gasol is obviously capable of an increased role in a small sample size, the same way they always more or less maintained when one of Parker or Ginobili was out.
In the grand scheme of things, they need the upside that Aldridge possesses though, if they're going to have a legit chance at beating the Clippers or giving the Warriors a competitive series.
I see you didn't misplace your razor blades or forget the GPS coordinates to the nearest cliffQuote:

We are expecting a nightly consistency (18pts/9rebs), yet, he is been a ghost for most part in the first quarter of the season..
I don't care if he is little banged-up right now; the evidence is mounting that he doesn't take care of his body seriously in the summer..That's to me a red flag as far as how he would cope when major physical decline kicks in, the start of which is maybe here..
He has approximately two months to play himself back into 1-2 punch status with Kawhi, otherwise I just want us to cut bait fast and cash in on his value (a team like the Celtics is getting desperate from what I read)..
:lol I did, tbh..reminded me of better days(despite the Spurs being eliminated in round 1 in the season of the game below, they were just more entertaining to watch when they were rolling)..Quote:

It's highly unlikely that a 31 year old, without a career altering injury and with his physical tools and style of play, significantly regressed overnight. Clearly, he's going to have to start taking better care of his body as he ages and hopefully his relatively porous start (and unlikely All-Star selection, which hopefully adds fuel to his fire) and "knee soreness" is the wake up call.
Just ship his ass out. Don't want to see Leonard wasting his prime years next to this soft piece of fudge.
Would you trade LMA for Blake?
Blake is younger., and maybe more versatile. But he's had/has knee issues while LMA has proven he'll play through injuries. And while both have had teammate issues, LMA unlike Blake has never had an off the court problem. Not sure Blake moves the needle for us. With C Paul though, LMA could be a real asset for the Clips.
I would only trade LMA for Cousins. Blake has a history of injurys, but if they included Redick sure I'd do that trade if I was RC.
don't trade him without including parker in the deal.
I would make the trade in a heartbeat - and keep my fingers crossed that Blake's knees held up. Unlike LMA, Blake seems like he takes conditioning seriously. He apparently took rehab seriously, too. To my eye, he is as explosive after his injuries as he was before.Quote:

That's true. It's just a hypothetical. Only way it would happen is if 1) Blake tells them he's gone as a FA (or he and Paul continue to have issues and they've decided to side wit CP3 long term) and 2) if those trade rumors about LMA from earlier were true. In that case, this would be a pretty good get given you usually get 60 cents on the dollar when trading star players.Quote:

He had plenty of picks and players last draft to put together a package or even TWO to make a couple of block buster deals. Instead he drafted a bunch of mediocre players. But aside from Jaylen Brown, most of those guys will not have NBA careers. But maybe he has learned a lesson.Quote:

Spurs get a lottery pick, a serviceable player in Faried (I'm not necessarily a fan of a Gasol Faried paring but if the Spurs were to trade LMA in the off season I would expect the Spurs to take a step back anyways), and a solid prospect in Cornelie (http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/...ornelie-61916/). Spurs save money in the short term ($8.5 million is the difference between LMA and Faried's 2017 salaries, does not include the first year salary of the draft pick). The Spurs do add $13 million to 2018 but some of that can be offset by Parker taking less and the rising cap.
Aldridge is still better than Faried and may be worth giving up the pick if he can produce for them as their young prospects grow around him.
No we won't be trading the Ltrain wish we could trade Pau
Trading a healthy & content LMA is saying fuck you to Kawhi, basically.
Kenneth Faried and Petr Corneille. :lmao
Lamarcus is here to stay.........
He had a solid game tonight vs Bulls but I'd still trade him if I was RC for Cousins if the Kings want LMA.

Idk why that's considered sad lol.Quote:

Lol people talking about trading Parker. It's not that Spurs wouldn't trade Parker, it's that there isn't a trade out there that would make the Spurs better. Only title contenders would trade for a veteran point guard like Parker, but contenders have nothing to give up (assuming any needed a PG...most have them) and noncontenders aren't giving up assets to get an aging PG. Plus, Spurs don't have an adequate PG behind Parker (Patty isn't a PG and Pop doesn't use him like one often except on defense), so trading him to give Lapro or Murray his spot would effectively waive the white flag on a season where you have an MVP candidate playing great. Lapro and Murray aren't good enough to start or play consistent minutes for a good NBA team.
Probably because he'll soon be one of the worst starting PG's in the league. I'd be surprised if he ever sees the bench.Quote:
