That's actually really funny.
Pretty much dead on. 3 of the biggest self aggrandizing pricks in the NBA.
LMA - First Zoom interview after Nets arrival
https://sports.yahoo.com/lamarcus-al...212307930.html
Shame he didn't buy into that role here..."Brooklyn made it known right away that they were very interested," Aldridge said. "[Kevin Durant] hit me quick and said 'Definitely come here.' So kinda just waited it out and weighed my options and I just ended up coming here. It's a pretty good team and I think I could definitely help."
"I don't follow any of that stuff," he said. "If you've followed me during my career, I don't really read clippings and all that type of thing, so I had no clue about it.
"I'm just hear to play basketball. I'm older, so it's an opportunity to be on a winning team and bring some things that I think that can help, and that's all that is."
"It was about a role," Aldridge said. "I help fill a void of having a bigger five man that can score and play defense. ... I think that was a bigger factor."
Bull crap. He gave back $7M and we replaced him with Gorgui Dieng. Thanks Aldridge! Go win your SHIP!
If the nets are serious about moving away from Jordan-
Aldridge will start a few games - his defensive woes might be hidden by the nets offense. But down the stretch and as they play more capable teams he will be the target of the opposition on every possession- he will be left open to take 3s as his man is used as a free safety to double the ball handler and he will be an unplayable weak link in their chain.
he will be out of their playoff rotation- Claxton will be taking most of not all of his minutes and in playoff games they will alternate looks between Claxton and Jeff Green at the 5 because their other bigs are unplayable garbage.
LA... I want to be mad at how insulting those comments are to people who actually watched games over the last 12 months. But having watched his interviews for the last half decade I know he usually just gets in front of a microphone and says whatever he thinks is the right answer regardless and doesn’t mean anything by it.
He only made upwards of 100 million from the Spurs but gave back so much
All for getting ousted in the 1st round twice.

He's actually sprinting and playing hard now.
Jesus. He looks like a completely different player out there. I guess the Spurs don’t get the best and most out of their players anymore.
There's just something about this team that alienates some guys who originally didn't mind playing in SA.
Not that I care in this case though because LMA has always been a loser.
Darn, so he's actually playing his ass off? How is he looking on defense? Is he moving around better?
Fresh legs look great to the elderly until a few games in...

Did LA ever have 6 assists as a Spur?
He was moving much better on the defensive end. He made a lot of great rotations.
yeah he had 7 against the Celtics in 2018/19
If LA still keeps an eye on the Spurs (which I doubt), man, he's going to wake up feeling so much better and happier tomorrow morning knowing he's off of this team and on the Nets now.
Thanks. I might watch that highlight video. That pretty much says/shows he didn't want to be on the Spurs anymore if he's looking a lot better defensively.
He was obviously phoning it in on the Spurs. Quit on the team pretty much.
