In all seriousness I hope he comes to the spurs

you could've fooled me with that take

Sad that it's gonna cost us Tiago most likely. Losing Tiago+adding LMA is not a huge net gain by any means.

[Sean Cagney]

Can we please find a ing way to trade porker for LMA? This team would be ing unstoppable if we're able to keep everyone, get LMA, and get rid of porker.

And start who on the team now at PG for a full season? You would have to sign one because CO Jo is not a starter.

Depends on who you trade him to

It's funny how a lot of people on ST didn't even want Aldridge 2 months ago. Called him an overrated, inefficient stat-stuffer. Now that we're "one of the favorites" to land him, everyone's preparing to order his jersey

Hope he picks the good guys though. Spurs need something if they want to contend next season. Don't see us as legitimate contenders if we stay pat. Too many old bodies/injury issues lingering with this club.

[Chillen]

Aldridge probably likes the fact that he and Leonard can lead this team into the future when in 2 years, Duncan, Manu maybe retire. If they can land Aldridge and resign Duncan, Manu, Green, get some value back for Splitter, it will be tough to beat the Spurs if they stay healthy. I'd love to see a Duncan/Aldridge combo, one alone demands a double team. That will be very hard for a team like the Warriors to defend, Mozgov even beat them up in the paint in the Finals. It will be all about health next season for the Spurs, if they stay healthy and all this happens, they have a very good shot at winning it all.

[SpursFan86]

I'm sorry to ask this because I know it's probably been hashed over a million times, but would we have to get rid of anyone besides Splitter to make room for LMA?

Let's assume Duncan and Manu take favorable contracts, and Green gets $9-10 million/year. We trade Splitter for a pick or something. Would we still need to get rid of Mills?

Says who?

Last year's CoJo > Last year's frenchie. It shouldn't be held against CoJo that Pop is stupidly loyal to frenchie and refused to bench him even if it was for the betterment of the team.

Count me still on that train. There is no doubting his offensive array although I would like a more potent post game, enter staff and Timmy with the lessons. For some reason I doubt liking guys who seem to give us fits. And mentally... I just don't know. It's a whole different stage for him.

Defense must improve.

And how's that digit? Fully healed or what?

And if I knew Splitter could stay healthy no way I deal him. Now, let us address our PG situation... Based on the end of our season we lack one.

[spurraider21]

We live in the present fool. 2015 happened. He is never going to be healthy again.

lol we live in the present but then you claim to see the future

[elemento]

We're getting LMA sons !

Last year's team got the six seed and bounced in the first round .
You sure you wanna make this argument dude?

They were a game away from the 2nd spot. The west is really good

[Darius Bieber]

Perks of playing next to a GOAT. French scrub would probably be out of the league if he didn't play next to Timmy.

And next to Manu.

How long will this thread go to? Over/under on 75 pages.

It helps my argument, dude. We got the 6th seed last year due to injuries and Pop's unwillingness to bench frenchie.

Even then, we probably win the first round if Pop just puts his ing loyalties aside and starts CoJo instead of that deadweight french pg.

[Mnky]

Cory Joseph is 23. Didn't he lead the team to a winning record when he was starting this year ? Not saying he's elite or anything, but I don't see the reason for the hate.

[RD2191]

And next to Manu.

Yup, Manu put the team on his back more than a few times.

[Spur|n|Austin]

thinking CJ can run the offense as a starter - his D is solid, but he's not a better starting PG and facilitator than TP - get real.

TP is a cancer on offense and defense. CJ is not either. Get it straight.
