I predict that if we lose this game or the next.. it could very well be LMA's last game as a Spur Nd will request a trade to Portland.
LMA will no longer be any good for us by the time our young stars mature... so I'd say trade him now while his value is high.
Enis Kanter and Someone else and a Pick?
Enis kanter? Wtf are u smoking
Lol no one wants Kanter. dude can score in he post but has some GOAT level bad defense
Kanter doesn't have that big contract anymore after being waiver, besides, he's a free agent
Based on how successful the Spurs were in navigating the Kawhi trade, I think a deal like:
Evan Turner & Myers Leonard for Aldridge and Derrick White
Is a plausible scenario

Trade as ass to Portland for some bench players an a good pick. Win win for everyone. Aminu has to come also.
I really dont see a path unless SA is going to blow it up. They made the playoffs and there is enough there to be reasonably optimistic that with Murray/Lonnie alone sa could be a 2nd round team+ and if that is the case, I can’t see SA blowing it up.
I don’t see a way they can trade LMA/DeRozan and get back win-now players, but maybe. If they could do that, then sure.
Hey he'd fit right in!Quote:

I really forgot that LMA contract is only guaranteed 7M in the last year of his deal. So he has next season then it comes decision time.
Not sure who would take him at this point, prob only Portland.
The problem is not LMA, it is Demar. Get rid of DDR and LMA can go back to playing his type of basketball, which he is elite.
LMA nedds to have a half decent SF with positive attitude instead of that Loser Demar.
Aldridge/White combo is great and they have great chemistry. LA is just easy to stop in the playoffs as a first option by double teaming. If you want him to dominate you need a perimeter scoring threat that can score from 3, not a midrange shooter who likes to post up himself. DeRozan messes up the spacing cause the Nuggets can clog the middle and start guarding DeMar at the free throw line
Can we trade Demar instead? Albatross ugh
Nobody wants DeMar tbh.Quote:

Now let’s not get carried away. He’s made leaps and bounds as a Spur and was the primary reason they made it this far. Sure, he should nut up and lead these guys but everyone’s pouting. I’m no more pissed at him than any of the other guys not named Pearl. If he can willingly transition himself, he’ll make a phenomenal luxury complimentary piece to the backcourt of the future. He and Poeltl together on the floor works surprisingly well too. I’m beyond livid at every Spur basically for lazily slogging through Tuesday night, but I don’t think this whole thing needs blown up. DJ and DWhite are gonna be a blast to watch next year and they’ll need as many solid veteran pieces around them as possible.

Ya one of the Contend Now teams might have given up a lot.
Playoff LMA, now other teams aren't gonna give much.
CIA Popped coming back for another 1st round ouster next year.
If not for Aldridge Spurs wouldn't even be in the playoffs.
I'd take any bad contract tomorrow. Kevin Love, Batum have ballpark similar contracts, I'd take them right now. Or Hassan Whiteside, that actually could work for Miami too, Riley might straighten DDR up.Quote:
