LMA is gone!

[DAF86]

They were trying to create a market and that's how you do it.

LMA would already be traded if his contract was easier to handle. It's the contract that is impossible.

You create a market by telling teams that they don't need to trade for him because he will get cut regardless? Flawless logic you handle there son.

[DAF86]

Dat market!

The you talking about.

[Mr. Body]

You tell prospective buyers an asset is available and they need to bid against each other to get him.

How else the are you going to get bids, you ing moron.

What’s so strange about the LMA situation is it had to catch the spurs off guard, otherwise they could have tried to feature him more in the offense before the trade deadline or something . I’m preparing for a buyout but a deal for one of Drummond or Fournier, or something else like that makes sense to me if the spurs attach a 2nd rounder or something

The funny thing is would Pop even play the new guy, which the obvious answer is no.

Goddamn, kid, you got for brains. Absolute diarrhea.

Everybody and their moms knew Aldridge was available. The Aldridge trade rumours were circulating all season long.

Let me give you this example. If you post on social media "I wanna get rid of my car, I listen to offers! If not, I will just leave it on a junk yard!". Do you think folks will bid for it, or will they just wait till you leave it on the junk yard to get it for free? It's just common sense.

[DAF86]

Goddamn, kid, you got for brains. Absolute diarrhea.

The irony.

[DAF86]

Aldridge and Lyles for Iguodala and Olynyk. At this point is the best we can hope for.

I would love that. But Olynyk has been balling as of late. But here’s hoping

[Degoat]

Here’s for hopeful thinking but I think the spurs probably have a buyer, they’re just waiting it out to see if more offers come. I think it does help that PJ tucker is off the market now.

Why can't spurs just choose to hold on and not cut? This way teams have more incentive to trade and not just wait

Because "Mah touches" probably ed the out of being a backup behind closed doors and PATFO doesn't want to deal with it anymore, imho.

Not really how it works. He'd leave in FA anyways. If they can't trade him, and aren't going to play him--if and when we can't-- then why keep him on the roster?

Also, Aldridge's agent reps other players, not a great idea to alienate both a player and possibly an agent. Players talk and agents have been known to steer plays to and away from teams. Its just easier to waive him/ buy him out at that point to preserve relationships.

Technically, the Spurs were the one's that ed this up. They could've and should've traded him last trade deadline or in the off-season. They hustled backwards.

if i'm miami then give me a 1st round pick and you got a deal

even then, it'd be la + rudy.

LA + Rudy also means more Samanic. Addition by substraction. And throw in Lyles while you’re at it

With Leonard gone, the Heat don't have disposable salary (assuming Olynyk or Dragic aren't disposable) to take back both Aldridge and Gay. If they're still interested in Gay then Iggy and Okpala might be a deal that could happen.

[FutureMan]

If the Spurs keep LMA & don’t buy him out couldn’t they do a sign and trade this off-season?

I’m very against just buying him out only to have him go to a team that could’ve traded for him. Especially if it is a western conference team or the Heat.

Thanks Brian Wrong

I think it sounds inevitable that he's going to be released, the Spurs screwed this up and he'll be gone without so much as a pick to show for it.

So
What?

Remind me how many picks we gave up to get him. I’ll wait.

This. Never a good look when players want off a team in playoff position. Remember LMA’s last year was partly guaranteed, they could have not picked up the option last offseason, but they pick up the option super early. Spurs got played.
