Within the next 48 hours we should have about 90% of the puzzle in place. The majority of what we do will be contingent on the kind of response aldridge gives the Spurs at that sit down. I expect things to move very quickly verbally before July 9

Feel like this site is a social experiment or something.

Porker, Ferrari, Van Horn 2.0, Jim and Lamar - starting lineup for 2015-16 Spurs..

Bench:
CoJo, JR Smoov, Boris, big Aussie, Pendergraph, Pop.

We hang Evitas jersey in November 15.

Lets go

I can't say I'm a fan at all of giving up Green to land Aldridge, I pretty much only want him if the Spurs can land him in a sign and trade, or if Manu retires and they can salary dump Splitter to sign LMA outright without renouncing Green. But the Lakers taking Russell pretty much wipes away the chance of salary dumping Splitter on Philly.

In a vacuum yeah you sign Aldridge at the cost of Green, but I don't give a about two years from now because the team is not winning les without Duncan. I'd like the odds of Splitter being healthy next playoffs more than of the Spurs being able land a starting shooting guard who can even come close to Green using Splitter as trade bait. Guys like Green who are elite on one end of the court and not complete liabilities on the other end aren't easy to find and aren't cheap. I'd rather just lock Green down quick and try to use the MLE to improve if a sign and trade can't be worked out right away to get LMA.

Ok then. Keep your "elite" one trick pony and trot out 40 year old Jim, Brazilian mangina, a fat French, boner and oendergraph in game 1 of the 2016 playoffs

Good luck

One trick pony? Green is one of the best defenders in the league, one of the best shooters in the league son. That's at least two tricks. What is your backcourt, Parker and Anderson? They can't even bring Del Negro back in your scenario.

Please give away the password to your kobyz troll. It's run it's course tbh.

Thanks in advance.

He can't dribble a damn basketball. You put a hand to his face and he's trash.

Sure he takes advantage of being open when Porker or Evita decide to make a play. But given as that's a thing of the past, 1 trick pony is not essential. Never was

So your championship backcourt is Parker and Anderson?

[baseline bum]

Or Parker and Mills?

[hater]

Why do you think Pop would keep Ferrari instead of Green out there??? It's not because he's stupid. Without porker or Evita at their best he becomes completely useless

If the Spurs can sign LaMarcus Aldridge, should they do so? Yes. I really, really want the Spurs to retain Green, but if it comes down to Aldridge or Green, the Spurs obviously have to pick Aldridge. It'd be a no-brainer. All-Star bigmen with prime years left simply do not come knocking on the door often. You sign Aldridge, if that's what he wants, and figure out the rest later. I don't care about his playoff struggles or his supposed questionable at ude or any other purported red flag, the guy is good.

What do you do for your backcourt if there is no sign and trade? Parker and Mills for 35 minutes a night, Ginobili for 20, Kyle Anderson for 6? You start Leonard at the two and start Anderson at the three? What do you think RC could get for Splitter? An extra big who isn't a defensive force is pretty redundant in this swing player dominated league now. I'd love Aldridge if he only costs the Spurs the chance to have Splitter, Joseph, and Belinelli, but at the cost of having the best perimeter defense in the league in a perimeter oriented league? Losing Green is suicide, it would be like going back to Avery Johnson, Chris Whitney, or Negele Knight at the point in the mid 2000s when you could just keep Parker.

Had to double take. Good read :

Would be nice to have some clues on Plan B though...

[DrSteffo]

Nice post.

Nice post from you too man.

[RodNIc91]

I know you couldnt retire before Pop did. Nice to have you back! And Bruno as well

What's your backcourt?
