How do you feel about LMAlpha being handed the team?

[Brazil]

not sure about that but LMA is quite an alpha... He urges Spurs to give him the jersey he wants, he made it clear he won't play center oh and btw no way his scoring suffer from playing with Spurs system

[dabom]

so alpha he had to jump ships.

Duncan nearly went to Orlando the very same summer he won the championship...just saying.

I feel like this website is a dreary place with no original thoughts and where zero valuable discussion takes place. I feel like it is full of teenagers who think they are funny and original but really use the same recycled garbage troll tactics over and over again. I very rarely see anything posted here anymore that I legitimately enjoy reading. Everybody just calls each other gots and cucks and there is no wit or creativity behind any of the posts or insults posted here.

You're account is obsolete now. Better stick to your play Jimmer troll account until he gets cut outright 4 rings got.

Did he though? O and he was a champion already. Just saying.

No but your original statement was ridiculous in that you clearly meant for it to mean that Aldridge isn't an alpha because he decided to change teams...which again is completely stupid. Duncan won a championship "as the alpha" and yet STILL had strong interest in changing teams...why? Because there are OTHER reasons for players to want to change teams and not have it, stupidly, mean that they aren't "alpha" enough.

Shut up got. You make no sense.

Real talk: you would be lying to yourself if you don't consider LMA dithering on choosing between SA or Pheonix; his quasi-stipulation to not play the C; his open concerns about numbers/shots and his unretiring of Bowen jersey as not some sort of red flag relative to what the San Antonio Spurs has been all about since the Tim Duncan era began ..You would still take him, but that's something to note..

We got bounced in the first round with kawhi as the 1st option

There were all sorts of problems with the team in the playoffs (not just Kawhi in games 5-7) so I'm not gonna pretend its all his fault. But all that is beside the point cuz I'm not even talking about last year. I'm just saying that with some improvement in his passing and ball handling (so he can operate out of the pick-and-roll) Kawhi will be a serviceable number one option(in the spurs motion offence).

[All Mighty Janitor]

Yeah you've successfully turned it into a troll thread.

How? Because I think Kawhi can be an as good or better offensive player than LaMarcus next year?

[YGWHI]

Question: Why trade Tiago for peanuts and go hard after Lamarcus and max him up unless Spurs intended for him to have a very significant role in the team? Ppl act like him wanting to take shots is unexpected. meantime we hear Kawhi saying he wants to be an All-Star and Regular Season MVP and guys are not criticiszing him for going after personal records and such. Double standard.

A double standard requires equal, similar situations. That isn't the case here.

LMA says "I would have signed with the Suns, if the Spurs wouldn't have told me they would maintain my points and invididual stats"

When we hear Kawhi saying "I would have signed an offer with other team if the Spurs wouldn't have told me that I'd get more touches to score more points and run for the MVP"?

Kawhi didn't demand anything about his own stats.
He didn't say "Pop you should give him the opportunity to continue improving offensively, give me more touches, play me more minutes, or I will sign an offer with other team and ruin your plans to land a top free agent".

Remember if Kawhi would have signed an offer with other team forcing the Spurs to match that offer, they couldn't have signed Aldridge.
But Kawhi worked for the team.

I've said before it's understandable that LMA wants his shots, I want he gets his shots too.

But it's annoying, almost like prima donna LMA saying "I had my doubts about the Spurs, one of the best coaches in NBA history, the best PF in NBA history, the most successful Big 3 in NBA history, the 2014 FMVP and 2015 DPOY, the shooter-record-most 3-pointers in Finals history....because my points per game".

#1 option on offense is not the same as being the alpha. Tim is the alpha until he retires.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I feel like you are a broke ass , am I right?

Wrong again got

[spurslegacy]

wtf are you talking about? kawhi is gonna be kawhi and that's going to be amazing. he's gonna be a top ten player in the league really soon but he's not there yet... Tony, Manu and Timmy will essentially be roleplayers to Kawhi and Aldridge, and LMA's ridiculous shot making ability in crunch time will allow the Claw to maximize his defensive abilities, and simultaneously grow incrementally into a true offensive beast... we saw in this last run he wasn't QUITE ready for that Alpha role. I think both Kawhi and Lamarcus are smart and mature enough to understand all this, and are okay with sacrifice as long as they win the chip.

Wonder if kawhi s are happy, sad or just plain upset?

As a non player fan of course I'm pretty pleased tbqh we did go out in the first round last year.

[hater]

Well one guy HAS to become the Alpha. 2 Betas cannot win a ship. At least its extremely unlikely.

[Kidd K]

Pippen's passing is forgotten over here, tbh. Never thought of Luol but you're right now that you mentioned it, obviously he'll get better but that's who he is right now offensively. Not a 1st option yet and Pop knows it.

Yep, Kawhi is like a better Deng, not Pippen. Pippen also had better handles and athleticism.

I do want to say though, I think Deng was good and underrated. I don't exactly mean it as an insult.

I don't sure pseoduDpoy is as talanted as healthy focus Deng offensively, also Deng is a better LeBron stopper...
