Like you can not like LMA if you want, but most of your justifications are not right.
Spurs posted a video on Instagram of LMA talking about his draft night experience, he ain’t going anywhere lol jk but maybe

They also got rid of an overplayed player that did not fit with their team and and 2nd.
I mean, it's not like that overpaid, poor-fitting player just materialized on their team.
I don't see the point of the era or comparing rebounds numbers with himself. Let's just say he is a natural PF forced to play center because he slowed down. He is not a disaster defensively but his defense is personnel dependent and feel for that end is lacking experience or limited by mobility.
The highest net rating lineups in the league is one with a defensive anchor like Gobert. Same with us all poeltl lineups have the highest net rating with or without bryn/marco.
Aldridge was one of the anchors for a tremendous defense in 2016-2017. It certainly wasn't all him, but bad defensive centers would kill any defensive scheme.
Wasn't that the Dedmon and Pau center rotation.
Spurs Pau was a much better defender than folks are remembering nowadays (seeing as how all of the sudden he's back in the crosshairs), but it was having twin towers that made it so hard inside. Aldridge still have PFish mobility then. Actually, his mobility is still pretty good. He's not switchable, but he's can help pretty reliably.
Pau first year was very solid. We had a good team. I also liked David Lee game on that team. What a disaster it became. Leonard never plays healthy for us again. Tony Parker was given an early retirement reminder. Lee never plays again.
Then what was it, the season after when Murray, White, Walker all get injured in the pre season and the birth of the starting Forbes begins.
GS and PHI hasn't made a trade yet so we are still good. Harden being available might have stalled all trades now.

Cap if going to UP next year?!? WTF does that come from? They're talking a 72 game season; 72/82 is 88% of gate, before adjusting for reduced stadium seating due to COVID. How does that result in "Basketball Related Income" going up (and thus the cap going up)?
It's part of the cap-smoothing that happened. Basically the NBA guaranteed the cap would stay the same this year and then rise between those numbers for the rest of the life of the CBA. So even if/when the league is back and the cap should be like $140 Million, it'd be like $120 Million to make up for these years. I think we'll see:
2020: $109M (-$8M)
2021: $112M (-$13M)
2022: $117M (-$14M)
2023: $127M (probably around -$9M)
The losses are compared to the projections from the Capulator. The faster things get back to normal, the better deal the owners will get.
Dumping or keeping Forbes is the difference between an A or F off season. Seriously though, I would prefer they move either Demar or LMA so the younger players can develop and build confidence and draft a big, athletic wing. I see no practical reason to run it back in hopes of squeezing into the 7th-10th seed. Pick a direction fans can get excited about.

According to a report from Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer, the Warriors have been in discussions with the Chicago Bulls about a draft day trade. The trade centers around the Warriors sending the No. 2 pick to Chicago in exchange for the No. 4 pick and big man Wendell Carter Jr.
The report was confirmed by Connor Letourneau, the Warriors beat reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, who noted that the Dubs would likely then use the No. 4 pick on Deni Avdija or Tyrese Haliburton.
There goes our chance on Wiseman

Spur fans thinking the number two pick was theres. Getting that pick for lma was a long shot anyway
Spurs had the worst percentage but landed Duncan. So pipe down and let this fan have his funA

I was never convinced there was anything to these trade rumors. Do I think the Spurs are shopping LMA, DDR and who knows whom else, absolutely.A
Unfortunately, LMA is35 coming off an injury and DDR's game doesn't fit with most teams.
I'm going to be a bit of an apologist, but come tomorrow, I suspect a large portion of this board will be complaining about PATFO not doing anything. I suspect this is not for lack of trying.

Hey man hope is all we spurs fans have left. Have at it
Watching how the Spurs showed up in the Bubble makes me think LMA's services are numbered (likewise the experiment on unathletic shooters). That said, I think PATFO is excited to part ways with LMA and give this rebuilding a chance.
LMA and #11 to get Wiseman or WCJ as future Spurs big would be great
And if lucky, Demar plus future picks to get Deni Avidja, would be icing on the cake.
Hey it's a pipe dream, but there you go
bulls would be idiots if the gave up wcj and 4 to move up just 2 spots...
Let's talk about getting rid of trash off this roster. This shows you that neither player is all that valuable; Holiday nets 3 firsts. Sign me up for firsts in multiple years for DeRozan or Aldridge.
Golden State wants a big to go against AD, Jokic, and Gobert. Two wings does them no good.
Agree. Sometimes trades don’t happen because it takes 2 to tango. However, it paints a damning picture of what this front office has done and the roster they built if that is true. To be so devoid of assets and to even in a sellers market not be able to find + value for the supposed “Stars” you chose?
Wow.
I definitely think LMA to POR is still on the table and makes tons of sense.
1) Whiteside is likely gone and walking for nothing which is a void they need to fill.
2) Besides just filling a void, it’s clear POR needs to actually improve; not just fill voids.
3) LMA and Dame clearly are ok with a reunion and it would look really good on SA and fits with their MO on being player friendly if they worked with LMA on a trade that gets him somewhere he is comfortable.
4) If Whiteside was willing to agree to a S&T POR has enough youth and picks to make a deal work
5) LMA not only boosts POR chances, but they wont have to give up any core (Dame,CJ, Nurk, Covington)
6) There is probably at least a small premium right now with how whacky this season is and shortened camps/practice on familiarity. POR getting LMA is an advantage since he’s not just any player; he’s someone the coach and stars at least know which should help acclimation.
It makes sense on many levels. Big IF is whether or not Whiteside would agree to basically a large 1 year deal (S&T has to be 3, but only 1 year guaranteed) and be willing to test FA next year in a better market.

Wendell Carter has asked Chicago to let him play PF rather than C... that could be part of the reason the Bulls are interested in moving him.
