Series question about Aldridge

[daslicer]

People still in denial that KY only left for one reason and that reason was to go back to La La land aka Cali. The current team sucks so bad not even fun to watch at all they look like a JV team playing a Varsity team most of the times. A lot of solid points about LMA and. DEROZZ, but I would throw someone else that has held this team back and that is coach Pop. I am waiting for all three to be traded or let go before I watch any more Spurs games.

I'm still surprised there is a good amount people in here who can't accept it that #2 wanted to be in LA no matter what. The only thing that could have kept him in a Spurs uniform is if the Spurs moved to LA.

Aldridge being underappreciated is par for the course for a quiet, below the rim big.

Cuckold Spurs fans still slurping S bag.

"He's the best player in the league", because of one tainted championship on the most complete team in the league, while the best team was ravaged by injury? He also rested 95 games over 2 years to be in peak form.

"He wouldn't have won here anyway". Undo that heist and the Bertans giveaway which was a partial response to said heist and the Spurs would likely be the reigning champion and a top 3 contender this season.

"If only the Spurs had . . .", bull . He had been brainwashed into wanting to be one of the cool kids, who run their organization, are famous outside of the basketball world and receive the lion's share of the credit.

It's really disgusting. Do I like the direction the team has went in the last 3 years? No. However this about the Gasol and Mills signings being why Kawhi left is bull . Also there was no way for the Spurs to get George from Indiana. I remember hearing/reading at the time that the Pacers didn't want to deal with the Spurs under any cir stances because they didn't like looking like they were fleeced after the Kawhi trade.

At the time there was no rumors about PG wanting to be in SA. This bs came out when PG started ass kissing #2 during their press conference with the Clippers. #2 played along with it simply because he likes throwing subtle shots at the Spurs whenever he gets an opportunity. I don't believe anything PG says. If he wanted to go to SA it would have been leaked out a few years ago.

I don't know if George was interested in the Spurs but they were interested in him but Kevin Pritchard was having none of that because of the Kawhi trade. back then they were trying like to land Kyrie so this Spurs din't try to get better is hogwash.

If KL had stayed, He and LA would be playing for a championship every year and probably would have won at least one by now.

yup

Agreed. LMA was able to get 40 plus wins the last 2 seasons without #2. Pair #2 with him and the Spurs are easily a 60 win team like they were during the first two years of the #2-LMA pairing.

[Dejounte]

It's time to move on.

Losing as the 2nd best team in the league is the same as losing as the 14th best team in the league.

Why?

Because most of these best teams fall off the earth when their superstar leaves them. It happens almost every year. Or injuries happen.

We just need to get lucky in the draft, even if we end up picking at 11th. It just takes one star.

[BackHome]

In all honesty this team does not have much talent realistically we need to tank two years and land in the top 5 both times for this team to be sniffing at another le.

[GAustex]

Can the coach
Cut the chaff-Forbes, Beli, Gay
Get something for DDR and Murray
Use LMA for buckets
Suffer for high picks
Move on

Can you imagine this place if we had a rock bottom record for two years? Sounds simple in foresight, but the indirect consequences? For an unguaranteed selection of a star? Do we want to be that team?

No. And the Spurs won't ever choose to be that team. But the talent isn't there yet, it's just not. I was hopeful we had the young core we needed to turn the corner already but there are simply too many inconsistencies, too many holes in their game.

We need to get lucky in the draft. Or get cosmic luck and land Giannis.

[Dejounte]

Here is what I think the Spurs are betting on:

Developing our young core, however "untalented" they may be, then landing a superstar via means draft or free agency. Result? A superstar with a YOUNG loyal core group that would grow with the star for a decade = dynasty.

Versus

Tanking purposely. Teaching the current core losing ways. Eventually the core becomes disgruntled, leaves for nothing, or gets overpaid. Then we finally land the star and we are forced to sign vets and not have any young promising players around him.

I'm sure you're correct. But as I'm sure you'd agree, FIRST your young core has to show the skills and abilities to make that superstar thirsty enough to make the move here. Make them feel like they're going to ride that supporting cast to les.

I need to be more patient. See what Luka can give us. See what kind of pick we get this year. See how they gel after another year, and likely another lottery pick next year and maybe, the year after that, too. It's just not encouraging yet as I sit here today watching a complete dumpster fire on defense.

Yeah, basically they would be taking an approach similar to Denver. Now I don't think there's any way in a free-agent star could open up a decade-long window, but it would make more sense to have a lot of good players, find a young star in the draft and then pair that young star with a guy you trade for using some of that core.

In order to do that though, they need to be able to let go of young guys who aren't getting it done. At any given time, they shouldn't have more than say 5-8 players on rookie deals. That means they should trade guys for picks when they can and that they should avoid taking back meh young players in deals for their own talent. It's okay to take some fliers, but youth for youth's sake is not a way to build anything.

off with your LMA hate. You'll quickly discover he's been the only thing holding this together the last 3 years. Don't believe me? Well you're a ing moron first and foremost and secondly, ask Manu and Pop. They said what I just did over the past couple of years, for all intents and purposes.

Also, if you'd really watched Aldridge's game you'd realize that he's right. When the ball moves through him, the Spurs are more efficient. His game got better when Pop decided not to force him into playing a certain way. He's far from a ball hog. His assists have increased here. He passes out of double teams routinely. He's a team player. And you're a ing basketball dunce.

Beautiful game died when he got here

one of his main weaknesses is getting WORKED on double teams. he’s fat. he’s lazy. he pouts when things go bad

and now he’s healing on company time like the selfish POS he is. team will always be mediocre at best with DDR and LMA at the helm. cuck mentality treadmill team incarnate tbh

Denver is a team I didnt think of. Great example.

Here's hoping Bryn, Metu, DeMar, Mills get traded this offseason

Maybe even DJ, but it would probably rock the boat too hard

He's got a well do ented heart condition and had shoulder surgery in April, you ing MAGAt. I know to you ing degenerates COVID is a hit job aimed at your POS POTUS, but in the real world, a heart condition is a pre-existing condition that puts his life in danger.

And no, the beautiful game died with nephew. We started iso balling with him. Youve shown yourself to be a miserable moron twice in one thread. Congratulations on being a cosmic buffoon.
