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

[SpursPreacher]

I am just confused by all of this.

[davidbowie]

KEEP SAN ANTONIO LAME

[BillMc]

Maybe it's a secret bridge tournament or something.

[TheGreatYacht]

that got.

[MaNu4Tres]

Honestly, I hope SA doesn't wait around.

Hope they turn their attention to David West and Lopez or Koufas asap.

[Beaverfuzz]

Toronto is back in the game now too? How about the Knicks?

[Andthentherewas21]

Said it earlier, LMA has had months to figure out his options. He says he wants to win, but clearly that isn't his biggest priority given the teams he is fielding offers from. Unless the Spurs severely undercut the offer to him (meaning more the 1.5 mil per year), the meeting/media circus shows he doesn't fit with the Spurs culture and organization.

For PATFO, I understand the desire to get the best talent available, but at some point you have to cut your losses and take advantage of what is left. Right now its getting to that point.

[Ron Swanson]

This is ridiculous.

[ironman2886]

I bet you some Suns excecutive offered Lamarcus' baby momma a job in Phoenix.

[Spurs9]

how quickly everyone turns on him

[timvp]

LMA meeting with the Vancouver Grizzlies next.

[BillMc]

All this love for a man whose worried he might be asked to play center 5 minutes a night....

[Russ]

Can you imagine what a prima donna this guy would be at this point even if he signs with the Spurs?

I'm starting to get that Jason Kidd feeling.

Come to think of it, have you ever seen LMA and Joumana Kidd in the same room?

[rjv]

this is just surreal now. pop probably wants his visit back.

[loveforthegame]

O'Quinn, Koufus, West, even R. Lopez. Spurs need to salvage this cluster .

[K...]

Uh, maybe this is cia pop telling him to get detailed info from rival teams, eh never mind these teams all suck.

If he cut it to two visits, I'd be fine. Two is respectable, three is ing playoff.

I'm officially against signing 30 year old LMA. I was only for it b/c I expected him to have a player option for two years, so we could use him for the next two years, and then let him walk. But I don't think he is that good and tbh, the drama is nonsense. No need to lose out in free agency waiting on this guy to make some summer trips to get wooed somemore. You know Spurs will lose that game. Pop and crew are not going to beg the guy to come to S.A. They are champions, that is below their dignity.

[PingPong]

if this is so insecure about choosing a ing team, I can't imagine him handling a pressure of playing a final series as the main option. Seems to be just another beta.

[MaNu4Tres]

Calm down everyone Spurs are still front runners from what I've been told, but it's really annoying and weird what he is doing. I hope his agent ain't ing with him.

Spurs dont have the time to be jerked around.

They have a championship to compete for next year.

Last thing they need is to wait around for LaMarcus' soap opera, while all viable back up options sign elsewhere and their stuck with the 2015' version of Jackie Butler.

[cd98]

Kosta Koufos has only missed four games in the last three seasons. That's worth something, right?

Right?

He looked good against SA last year. I would take him.

[Chinook]

I'm hearing Aldridge might go back to UT to finish up those last two years of eligibility.

[rjv]

unless, LMA was just stalling to allow teams to build cap space (i.e., phoenix)

[Nathan89]

At this point the main reason I want LMA is that the alternatives have disappeared. this guy.

[Mugen]

The red flag should have been when he decided to give teams like the Raptors a sitdown. This is Dwightmare 2.0...
