There is no problem.
Or Brooklyn
There is no problem.
taxes in Canada?
Damn state income taxes. Why did I move from Texas to Minnesota!!!!
I'm confident that Parker will adjust his game for the betterment of the team going forward. He knows he's past his prime and can't shoulder the load offensively all season at this point.
"Nobody really sticks out" . . . the past few seasons. That will all change going forward, as they'll become somewhat more conventional, out of necessity.
The Lakers can't supplement the hype and limelight with winning now or a path to do so in the near future, nor essentially returning to his roots and being around family. They also can't claim to have the best coach and front office in the league. The Spurs have every box checked.

29% federal, and 13.16% for Toronto, Ontario. Fed tax would be deducted with US tax, but would have to pay the 13.16%.
You guessed correct on both. Job offer and girlfriend's giant family lives here.
Meeting set for July 1.

There are those who believe Aldridge has the Spurs at or near the top of a list of suitors that also includes Dallas, the Los Angeles Lakers, New York and Atlanta. Two rival executives — neither with a team expected to enter the Aldridge sweepstakes — were less enthusiastic Monday. While both agreed the Spurs will be in the mix for Aldridge, neither tagged them as the early favorites.
Free Agency, Los Angeles, LaMarcus Aldridge, Atlanta Hawks, Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, San Antonio Spurs
I hope so, I really do.
With the Toronto news, it looks like Aldridge is intent on dragging this as long as possible, contrary to what he said earlier about making his mind up soon.
Maybe or it could mean that he doesn't refuse scheduling visits. If the 76ers are the 8th team down the list he is likely signed before they ever see him but he still builds credibility with the franchise. He has said he wants it over quickly. How many teams can he visit in a week?
Maybe. He cannot sign until the 9th so that is when you want him in San Antonio.
I wouldn't be surprised if LMA schedules some meetings with European teams
Absoultely not. If the Spurs don't get an answer early, it throws everything off. It's not about signing - it's about the committment. Unless you're Carlos Boozer, it's incredibly rare someone goes back on their word.
Spurs, in order to execute things, have to know sooner than later because of all the subsequent moves they likely have to make.
Meh. Although I'd be happy if Aldridge signed with the Spurs, it's not like we're signing Lebron James. He's a good player for sure and probably the best the Spurs can do (given that no true superstar wants to play in SA). However, he's not a difference maker and he's a 30 something basketball player. At the end of the day, Tim will still be on his last knee cap and on his way out, Manu will be gone (currently writing his obituary), Parker will still be Porker, and our role players will be suspect. In other words, he and Kawhi won't be enough to keep this team as perennial championship contenders for the next couple of years.
If the Spurs were first on his list, why wouldn't he meet with us first?
people certainly freak out over the uncertain.
with the spurs we never have early answers even if the club does. for all you know they could very well have talked to his agent and have agreed to the framework of a deal and LA is not above having his ass kissed all world style for a week. that is just as possible as LA's comments from last week being lies. nm that it's the week of NBA FA in the lull of summer sports. The noise is going to be greater and greater as the 9th approaches.
I would love to play poker with you.

Heard that LaMarcus Aldridge was leaning toward Lakers, a sign that their brand is not only back but never went away despite appearances.
--
If he really wants to go there then he doesn't care about winning.
Not taking source too seriously though.
On his own, he might not be a difference maker (there's only a few of these in the league at a given time), but if he's added to a team that has Duncan, Leonard, Green, Parker, Ginobili and Diaw, he has the potential to be.
And the notion that the Spurs need an answer quickly is probably not true (nor are they likely to get one). The floodgates generally don't open until the top players available make their decision and the usually doesn't happen for at least a few days.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs have an understanding with Green whereby he'll wait until Aldridge makes his decision, then decide between whatever they offer and offers he's already received. I'd also expect they'll have a Splitter (with Mills, possibly) lined up. It'll all probably happen within' a few hours.
Fwiw, LMA will be joined by his mother in all his FA meetings. PATFO gotta make a good impression on his mama, tbh.
I honestly doubt Danny will wait around for the Spurs.
Don't be obtuse. I wasn't talking about what we know, but what the Spurs know. Their actions will tell us.
