Are we going to trade LaMarcus Aldridge or what?

Yes, that's what I was pointing out. Ainge stockpiled draft picks that he has really just wasted for the last couple of seasons already. I don't believe a rational man would have stood pat with several more players and picks than he had roster spots for, but Ainge did. I don't see any evidence that he is changing his ways. 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.

alridge is like an abusive boyfriend that never calls
just as you're about to write him off he does some bs in a game that makes you see possibilities you'd almost forgotten
i just wish he played with effort all the time. you should be embarrassed to take timmy's spot without some fire, lma hasn't proven shit

I agree.

And good luck today! Should be a great game.

thx, I've said previously I am both a Bulls and Spurs fan, so this matchup always is fun to watch. Rooting for both teams really, whoever gets the "W" I am fine with.

Denver Gets:
LaMarcus Aldridge

Spurs Get:
Kennith Faried
Draft rights to Petr Corneille (2016 2nd round pick, athletic 7 footer who slid in the draft earlier this year)
Denver' 2017 pick (currently 9th, though that pick may be in the low teens their are four teams separated by 1.5 games)

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.

So would I. If the Kings want LA in a trade for Cousins, I'd do it.

Our ceiling as a franchise would be the Timberwolves if we had ST posters in the front office.

The one who needs to be traded is parker. Guy is do everything at this point. Tony is a star that has faded tbh

In that case, this would be a pretty good get given you usually get 60 cents on the dollar when trading star players.

Contenders usually don't trade within their conference b/c they are competing w/ each other. Lakers could have gotten Dirk for Shaq instead of Odumb/Butler/10th pick + Grant's shitty contract if they were willing to trade within the conference.

This is true however most teams have realized that by this point.... He is also on a bad contract so who will take him? He is also a spurs legacy player and while the spurs have traded them in the past it caused issues.... (See Bowen). Parker won't be traded Aldridge maybe....

someone would take tony. worse contracts have been moved.

the problem is pop probably has no intention of trading him :depressed

You'd super max Tony if you could. :lmao

I don't think Pop/RC would even trade Tony for Westbrook, they have loyalty to him for helping winning the championships. If anyone get's traded on this team before the deadline it's Aldridge/Green, I doubt Pop would trade Pau.

Yep. As sad as it is to say, Pop and the front office are with Parker until the wheels fall off.

Idk why that's considered sad lol.

It's respectable and classy if you think about it. It's not like he's out there playing big minutes. Just hilarious re: TP on this forum

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.
