LA has the potential to be a top player in the NBA and is the second best player on our team when he shows detrmination. I was not so sure after our sorry performance against the Clippers, but he showed up against his former team and helped reap sweet revenge on Da Bulls for a wonderful Christmas gift to all the fans. Let's not trade him just yet. So my answer is 'or what.'
:lma
I say trade him while he has had a good couple games.
Boogie would listen to Pop and Kawhi.
Something interesting I heard after the christmas game was that LA said that Pop told him to be more agressive looking for his shot. That showed in the last couple of games, let's see if it continues.
When LA plays with a purpose, instead of just going through the motions, he is a difference maker.
PATFO don't make trades during the season unless there are locker room cancers so at this point I'm just focusing at the buyout market & I've my eyes set on Deron Williams b/c the team sorely needs a play-maker considering the two main ball handlers are TOSB.:lol
The team already has Kawhi/Danny to eat up minutes on the wings & Manu+Kyle/Simmons can eat up the rest of the minutes during the postseason. Considering Lee has monopolized the backup 4 minutes, I don't think a stretch 4 is that imperative when Bertans is rotting on the bench although I'm not opposed to adding someone more dependable like Casspi.

Trade him away.
He sucks.
Nothing but a glorified wannabe SG.
250# (more like 260) and he can't bang down low anymore.
Worst FA signing of all-time. Yes, even worse than the dick.
Should trade him right now for ZBo and complimentary ref to let him play his style.Quote:

It could even deter future coveted FAs from signing knowing they'd get run out just halfway into their contract.
It's not like SA has signed that many in the modern era (only Michael Finley after he was amnestied comes to mind on 8/31/2005).
I want to give LA another season to get his level of play up, mesh better with Leonard and live up to the hype.
Because I'm not expecting any equal value to come down the pike for him at this point.
LaMarcus Aldridge will be wearing silver and black in 2018.
We never trade LMA after those two dunks in game 4!
Another season to get his level up to play?Quote:

He's just going to turn into a glorified wannabe SG who'll rebound even less.
man, at this point, i'd put LMA under billy 'the whopper' paultz regarding the history of spurs big men.
Haha no one wanted to trade Aldridge for Cousins, I'd rather have Cousins he would have been a good fit with the Spurs. I don't think he is a good fit with the Hornets, oh well it's not gonna happen Hornets are not trading him.
To be serious, LaMarcus is just disappointing. It sucks to see the talent and the tools partially wasted, enough for the Spurs to be in trouble.
For me it still come down to conditioning. Dude might not realize yet he's over 30.
Soft ass player.
Cockhead fumbles it which leads to a rockets 3. Lol.
The most worthless scrub ass PF the Spurs have ever seen.
"Are we going to trade LaMarcus Aldridge or what?"
All over the leagues, GM's are salivating at the thought of trading for him. The only reason they weren't trying to make a deal last night is that the tampering rules prevent it right now.
Of course, after this team wins Number Six, there's no way PATFO agree to trade him. But it will be fun for them to consider all the players and picks they could get in exchange.
Smoking the good shit this morning are we?Quote:

He was doubled every time down but had no idea how to handle it. Seems the Spurs need to get him the ball deeper in the paint where he can use his size and strength. If he has to dribble too much, he'll get swarmed.
Ah, too early in the morning for me to catch the sarcasm.Quote:

It isn't limited to just him one play early in the game because I didn't watch it late, Pau was unable to post up Harden, smdh. Such softness from our frontline no wonder Raymond bullies them.
I did. I wanted Cousins and I stated it on here.Quote:
