Correct, he went there for the money and probably the better city to move to as far as night life goes etc. He said he wanted to win and would take less, but we saw what that means when players say that.
can't disagree with that, but two things (1) this past year Manu played way too many in Dec which eventually burned him. As you mention that's age catching up with him. (2) the 2014/15 version of Manu was still good for a role player. Not by manu standards by any means, but as role player with limited minutes off the bench. I will gladly take 10pts, 4ast and 1stl with the occasional 20//10 game.
He talked about LMA again in his next podcast. I don't think it's a done deal so to speak, but from all indications Pop and Timmy have talked with LMA and he is open to the idea because he is all about winning and replacing Timmy would be an honor. So they are talking, which is very exciting to be honest. San Antonio fans deserve a major FA signing.
I'll wait until someone like Woj tweets about it.
I posted that podcast on the third page my man
Even if he does leave, I think Portland will try to get involved and get something in return for him through a S&T instead of having him walk for nothing. Since he hasn't made a definitive indication of where he would like to go, it could come down to who is able to offer the best package for him, again assuming he doesn't have a single team in mind by July.
From various reports/rumors, the teams he has been linked to include: SA, Dallas, and LA (can't remember if its both Clips and Lakers or just Lakers). Of those the Lakers would potentially have the best offer if they were willing to part with the #2 pick. If not, it would depend on what direction the post-Aldridge Blazers wanted to go (i.e. full rebuild, quick rebuild, ect). Regardless, the Spurs are still probably at the bottom of that list.
WE don't need LMA anyway. I'm all for Gasol!
Does LMA spell curtains for Boris more than Tiago?
We've heard a bunch of FAs mouth about what a honor to play with Tim and for Pop and what a good chance to win a championship in SA,and it's not about money==but then they think of the odds against winning and the difference in the money==and it's all about the money.
Spurs fans are just like Charlie Brown when Lucy tells him that this time she won't pull the football away. So gullible, so trusting, so naive after all these years.
Going forward the offense won't be able to function with TP and Splitter on the court. Getting rid of splitter to get LMA is in our best interests.
Lol. This team goes nowhere without tiago. Its all about defense. The offense is still there. Spurs just hit a drought at the worst possible time.
Toughest opponent the next couple of years will be the warriors. Tiago and Parker lineup will prevent us from keeping up with them.
Bingo....It is about the D and Tiago being hurt did not help at all but the shooting was AWFUL in that series, especially the three ball. It seemed from three all of them were just clanking wide open shots, one or two of those falls late in game 7 they advance. Beli and Patty shot well but that is it (From deep). Kawhi the first 4 games, then not so much.
The past three years including two finals trips and 1 championship.
Burn your computer and yourself at the same time.
Yeah why have one of the best pick and roll defenders in the NBA. The Warriors don't run that at all.....
Ding ding ding. If Tiago splitter is even 90% the Spurs are beating the living out of the Cavaliers right now.
Kidd was a done deal until his wife stepped in. Reporter told me this spring jersey was made up and everything.
I wish we could keep Tiago but we can't if we want to get a better player that will be needed considering the dead weight at pg. Tiagos inept offense was alright in the past but going forward we need someone that can help replace the offensive load that Tony will try to carry but in the process kill the team.
what did he do in the finals?
Was the Spurs starting point guard..
Why to sign lma to the max? Why not to sign amare instead? You can sign him for chip and amare might even shot a better than 5 from 23 from the field...
Lma has the potential to become a better defender. Stat is what he is, an ex athletic jump shooter.
Harakiri. Try it.
i think he's signing with us.
Why? Just asking.
