Should we trade Aldridge?

The second best option (in terms high % shot creation might be the third string point guard tbh..

Big FAs hardly jump ship after their 2nd deals. The new CBA is making it even harder with longer deals now.

Spurs will go from 1 big free agent in 2 decades of greatness, to none? Huge drop off tbh

Willing to give it a try

I was surprised to find that he's shooting 49% this year, seems like 33%.

we know he has another gear, maybe even 2, just got to hope he uses them in the playoffs

I sleep through one game, and the world falls apart...

it was 81+ before some deleted posts tbh :lol

The blocks by Carter are just a perfect encapsulation of Softridge's game. Zero heart and aggression. Nothing kills me like a soft quasi-7 footer and we have two. Other than the first few games of the OKC series last year (and the first game this year), he's been mediocre at best and anemic at worst. Trade his ass.

It's not just 1 game.

It's like 6/10 games.

Aldridge was never a good defender... when the shot is not falling he is useless, like Parker

No. I don't see why anyone cares at all what he does versus weak teams. We already know what he can do in the post-season. Everything else is just spinning wheels. Then again, you want to drop two firsts to bring in Rubio, so we just aren't going to agree on the roster in all likelihood.

I'm not talking just super stars. I'm talking about David West, Pau, Brent Barry type guys too

I want him to success here. This might just be a result of his poor work ethic in the offseason.
Hope he really turns it on in the playoffs. I think any idea of trading him is for discussion / fantasizing only.

I don't think you trade him now. We should let the season play out and if we flame out in the playoffs then trade him near the draft.

melo and LMA are the same head case with different skill sets.

Still waiting for someone on the trading LA bandwagon to come up with a legit deal...

You mean the Spurs can't win it all with Amir Johnson as their starting PF?

Maybe they can't win it all with Mr Charmin Softridge either.. there are some who want to build for the future... Still this game Kawhi and Pau didn't play and what no one will talk about: Mr Rising Star The Juice played like a dleague scrub.... I would steerr away from overpaying Juice. He's going to be 28, stat pads in garbage time, the Spurs have lost both game he started and he has a streaky slow jumper. For a small contract commensurate with a small role as a 10th guy he's good value. I think I am with HarlemHeat37 when it comes to him. If he's going to be overpaid in the offseason, it will be a mistake....

Anyways Lamarcus struggled and It was compounded by Spurs shooters being cold.

I won't overreact to a trade lynch mob bc both Kawhi and Pau were not playing. With better offensive players beside him maybe he turns things on in the postseason and this is just a meaningless game. Hopefully.

All I can say is that I hope you aren't managing your own 401K's.

Melo can at least attack the rim and volume 3pt shoot.
