Marc Stein: Spurs are #1 on LaMarcus Aldridge's list

[manufan10]

Did that got tspence delete his twitter account? I was going to see what he was tweeting.

[Manu20]

Multiple sources have confirmed that LaMarcus had this sign on the table when the Spurs contingent entered the meeting......take it for what its worth..

Rofl.

And Ramona Fatburne couldn't stop tweeting all night that the meeting was the best meeting ever for the Lakers, lol.

[baseline bum]

Suns are not trading Bledsoe. He was in the meeting with Aldridge, they can't move him for Aldridge.

That's good news, since they'd have to salary dump $13 million worth of crap to open up enough capspace. Markieff Morris is nice at $8 million but the rest of that team's contracts are .

Shelburne is such an obvious Lakers homer

Aldridge is a Texan who has only played for the Blazers. There's a very good chance that he hates the Lakers more than we do, tbh.

Well, yeah, there's that and the whole "You can be my Pau Gasol" thingie...

I saw nothing that embarrassed the Lakers from the LMA camp, just that he didn't get a good basketball pitch.
However, this makes the Lakers look incredibly petty.

Not Devin Brown's jersey

Do you live in Portland?

I do and it's not even close. Lillard is the face of the franchise. From the Portland airport carpet sneaker deal to adidas...Lillard has been way more marketable than Mcgloughlin auto mall.

She is such an insufferable little ****. It's one thing to be a homer, it's another to be a compete moron.

Laker fans deserve her tbh.

Marc stein was on zach lowes podcast this week and basically said the same thing. Asked why teams with no chance take the meetings and stein said something to the effect that it helps teams seem like destinations and legit franchises. He said the clippers point to their meeting with lebron, even though no one thought they had a shot, as one of the turning points to turning their franchises reputation around.

Yeah, if i'm recalling correctly Lowe made this point last year too when Lebron met with the Clips. I think it's valid, plus who knows with the cap and some of these players signing shorter deals it may be a good first look type of thing.

Right thanks for confirmation.

Wow. SpursTalk censors words?

I'm not even mad, I'm just amazed. That's amazing.

The Lakers embarrassed themselves. They were basically texting pics and realized how badly it was received.

[Shastafarian]

I don't get how that's embarrassing (unless she means the Lakers are embarrassing themselves).

True but I wouldn't describe her as "little" lol.

I can't even say **** or ****** or sean ******

[DPG21920]

That's how I see it too. Well said.

Doesn't pass the sniff test for LMA or SA. Not to say he won't end up in SA but the sentiment makes little sense to me.

SA: there's no stronger message than Pop & Tim going full court press. It should make no different to LMA whether SA had the space. Just like PHX who has 0 cap space. Spurs had this move lined up. No reasonable person would tell the Spurs they needed the space prior to a commitment. SA given LMA their word that if he commits it's done should be good enough.

LMA: Not being rude? Who really has a 7+ team list. What would be rude is stringing teams along that have no chance. I've never seen a FA or Trade Target that has a list 7+ teams long. Unless he's the most indecisive person in the world, no way they have 7+ teams.

You mean like George Hill?
