All Portland wants in a trade is what everyone wants: for the salaries to match up. Make it happen, Spurs!
The Spurs would do that trade. Unfortunately, Portland would just laugh at that proposal.

The Spurs have nothing Portland wants. Their two most valuable assets are Parker and Leonard. Portland already has Lillard and Batum. I could see Minny offering Love for LA given the issues there.
Doubt they trade Alderidge. He's their best player and a good number 2 guy. Only trade him to get a number 1 guy. They don't need to trade him for draft picks. I doubt they will get a draft pick in next year's draft that will be better than Aldridge.
If I'm Kupchack I offer Gasol + picks + salary filler / relief right away.
They're NOT shopping him ! The article says it.
And Jack + Bonner for Aldridge ?
Really delusional trade attempt. If SA wants to make a serious bid, start with Kawhi and Splitter. Lamarcus Aldridge is a stud. One of the best PFs in the league.
I would do that trade in heartbeat. I'd even throw in De Colo for free. Although S-jax has to be in the trade to makes the salaries work.
LMAO at this thread. Trading away spare parts to get a team's best player. The Spurs aren't the Lakers.
What if Splitter was added to the mix?
Oh hey you guys!
Check this out: Jackson + Bonner + Blair + Cory for LeBron works!
Let's get it done!
I don't believe that Aldridge is being shopped. If he were, then I agree with elemento. The Spurs would have to start with Splitter and Leonard to have any chance of winning the bidding.
Gasol makes almost $6M more than LMA. Who else would they be getting back?
LMA is hated in Portland because he isn't a good defender/rebounder, he is a jump shooting big(low FG%), isn't always healthy.
If they want to build a team around Lillard they will need cap space, so yeah Jack/Bonner expiring contracts aren't that bad.
LMA for Love could make sense.
I think LMA's abilities and prospects are still huge. If they offered him to the Spurs maybe PATFO would have to listen to any offer they ask for excluding Duncan, Manu, Tony and Leonard. If they are starting over with Lillard why would they want anyone besides Aldridge? He's a franchise. Unless he wants to come back to Texas forget about it.
Aldridge for bonner and jax
For the Spurs, the more realistic scenario is to try to pry Hickson away using their PG depth (e.g. Joseph) and maybe a draft pick. Portland would get another young piece for a player they risked losing this offseason with no compensation, and the Spurs get an athletic frontcourt player to plug into the rotation for the stretch run.
I don't think anyone is recommending trading Jack/Bonner for Aldridge because they're good players, the trade makes sense because not only do the salaries match up but they're are both expiring contracts. Aldridge on the other hand is under contract for like 4 more years. If the Blazers are looking to rebuild they could tank this year while having a bunch of cap space to sign someone in the offseason.
Everybody understood. It just makes no sense for Portland to salary dump Aldridge, a 27 year old All-Star who will not have turned 30 when his current contract ends.
But but he has a low fg%
These types of threads are even better when other greys show up and try to apply some sort of logic to the OP. Just classic.
These types of threads are even better when random bolded noobs come in and thump their chests to assert their dominance over the inferior greys for no reason other than the belief their smells sweeter than every grey on earth.
Or gots that think Roger Mason Jr. is a good basketball player.
Or when some lifeless wonder with thousands of posts shows up and has not intelligence, but sarcasm, to add. What builds a thread more, a silly thread or a ty inane comment?
Haha, you grey. You registered for this forum in 2010, how could I possibly respect you?? I bet you're wasting your time doing things like working out or learning a language, rather than posting on a forum all day.
Just kidding of course. Benefactor is the only choad who keeps bringing up the grey/black thing, as if how long you've been around has any bearing at all about your self-worth. I don't think he even realizes it makes him look like an idiot.
