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

[tholdren]

Or he could get PAID and stay with the org/city where he spent all of his nine years as a professional.

they don't do that anywhere else.

[SpurPadre]

At this point, I hope TP ed Aldridge's girl just out of principle.

If that's what he wanted, why the circus?

Sun's have a center. Spurs don't. He seems bent on not playing center. With Duncan and Diaw, it shouldn't be hard to imagine plenty of center time depending on matchups. Sure spurs are front runners, but if the position really matters, spurs run all types of matchups. Maybe he's worried about that.

Plan B might well involve helping the Suns land LMA, with Morris + Len/Tucker coming back using Splitters TE. I'd be ok with that with everyone else pretty much snapped up.

Duncan is a center

Duncan is a center

Has been most of his career.

Well...this dude think's he's coming here. Guess it's a lock.

Thanks, Eric.

Didn't know what was realistically out there. Obviously he wanted to explore his options, but if those options are marginally more appealing than his current one why not take the money?

Source close to Lamarcus Aldridge said that he took a five minutes ago....jesus.

I'm not Lamarcus.

Stop with meetings already, Lamarcus. "You get a meeting, and you get a meeting, and you get a meeting."

[2centsworth]

nothing has changed except LA looking to hear something he hasn't heard before about basketball.

[goliath]

Duncan gets 30 minutes at center. Diaw 10. Sign a minimum big or bonner to play 8. There you go. Lamarcus doesn't have to worry.

[SpursOwn]

Now Dallas back in the mix? Good luck not playing center on that team, tbh.

Sources bro, SOURCES!!!

The integrity of sports journalism especially during free agent periods is such a joke. You can literally make up ing anything and back it with "sources" and watch your twitter explode. What a goddamn farce.

[Mnky]

Besides Duncan, there isn't anyone. Near 40, he can't be expected to run it all year. That's the only thing I can see being a catch. Feel like spurs move fast on center if LA agrees tho

[Plum Island]

Nice. The 883 will give you what you're looking for. It's a little on the heavy side but it feels solid all around. The 48 isn't too bad either.

Traveling so can't embed, but Eric Rosenthal guaranteeing he's not going to LA. Then why even take the meeting? Makes no sense.

Yeah, with Baynes, Ayres, and Splitter gone, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion the Spurs will be shopping for a center regardless of what LMA decides.

LaMarcus, meet your new post teammate....Matt Bonner.

maybe they're offering a meeting at a REALLY nice restaurant

126 pages is what happens when anybody or their grandma can be an "online source" via Twitter.

That goes for the Gasol spectacle too.

Conspiracy: Lebron is doing a nasty backstab to gilbert and heading to ..............

Silver is in on it and told Aldridge to drag his out to deflect away from Lebron shattering the myth of owner professionalism
