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

[ninjaskrzypek]

What I took from the body language was Pop was happy knowing LA is coming and the other dude was calling West telling him to come aboard.

Whatever source(s) he may have regarding Aldridge appear to tied to the Suns.

Yeah all of his Aldridge coverage has been Suns-focused.

Pop does not allow them to be seen outside after lunch together if not a very positive lunch with high likelihood of positive outcome. Having whole coaching staff there to go through where LMA fits into scheme is a smart move too.

But we'll see, maybe a sports writer for HuffPo will beat out Woj, Stein, TSpence and everyone else.

Pretty vague tweet, but still

Very vague but at the same time, the fact that he had another meeting with Pop and wasn't immediately sold tells me he is searching for reasons to pick the Suns. If he chooses Suns because he doesn't want to play center and can be "the man"...guy is worth losing.

Running out of stimulants

Because media don't want him here. Anywhere but San Antonio.

TIMVP was talking yesterday about how immobile Hibbert is, and I try not to disagree with him too often. But I remember Hibbert at Georgetown, and in his first couple of years in the NBA. He was no speedier than most giant-sized guys, but I don't think he was any slower.

He's pretty much quit on the Pacers, and that's hard to respect. But I've seen guys get charged up when they landed with a new team that appreciated them. He's a risk, but if Pop is still interested in playing defense (and you know he is), Hibbert could be pretty good at that.

Would he bring the effort? I don't think Pop would give him the chance, anyway. A guy who quit on the floor probably doesn't get a second chance in SA.

And the beauty of Hibbert's contract is that it is the final year of it. So if Hibbert doesn't bring it, he's gone.

I think they coaches were more because they played with LMA since the one guy was Marks, not Messina. Kinda like the guy Phoenix used.

Okay, brand new day. Let's do this

probably nothing.

Not sure how reliable how he or this tweet can be...

Source: Suns are getting closer to signing LaMarcus Aldridge. No more meetings between the two sides unless he visits PHX

OK, just sign with the Suns then so this can all end already. At least I can laugh then.

If the Spurs trade for Hibbert to play center I'm leaving Spurstalk forever.

The Suns lol.... wtf is going on here??

WTF? I didn't even notice lol... You deserve it tho bruh

[TheGoldStandard]

I think the question we should be asking ourselves is who he will move next to? Does he take Manus house for the mean time or stay with Tim.

[RD2191]

Yes, I do.

The Spurs have apparent interest in signing LaMarcus Aldridge.

[spursparker9]

plan B?

Kool will have a field day if that happens.

Michael Finley made the right decision to pass on the Suns to play with the Spurs in 05. Make the same smart decision Aldridge, and win a ring like Finley did!

[baseline bum]

plan B?

If the Spurs signed Stoudemire I'd want him to miss as many games as possible.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Everyone should relax, this is the suns we are talking about, they know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, they are perennial losers and choke artists, no need to worry
