Why David West Gave Back $11m to Play for the Spurs

[UNT Eagles 2016]

call it a gut feeling but i think people will be down on aldridge after a little while, the high was too much and i just feel like we're gonna be a little disappointed....some of the stuff he talks about, just the vibe i get, i think it's gonna be a rockier beginning than most people are anticipating

i look for west to come out strong and perform above expectations

Agree. Aldridge is a mid range spot up shooter. This really isn't a great shot on an analytical level, unless you shoot over 60% on it or something AND have an elite defense.

I'm down on Alrdidge already; I think he's a narcissist. But there's no doubt the offense will be centered in large part around him. D-West is a great option though.

gonna take a lot of work to flatten parker's fat ass.

Love having West on the team for his toughness and as a bench spot-up shooter, but I'm not expecting too much..he's still an old, declining player that can't create anymore and will often be a defensive liability, but he should be able to put up points playing off Manu and vs. opposing bench defenses..

No mention of Porker

Great article, indeed. David West, growing into one of my favorite players, even before stepping into the court.

[TD 21]

Interesting that he lost 10 pounds. Generally, this is a good thing for aging players (and it may well be in his case, too), but surprising in his case considering he's moving up a position defensively.

Is he married?


Has he ever heard of Tony Parker?

Who is this thread about?

[Silver&Black]

Best signing of the offseason

We won't know for sure until we see him in action.....

But I got a feeling that you're exactly right. Still can't believe we got D-West for the minimum.

They can't help it Chump...

Everything is somehow related to Parker.

Might coincide with LMA gaining weight (it appears). West might get to stay at PF while Aldridge had a change of heart and decided to play some Center.

Maybe, the Lexus is used?
Yea, more likely something got lost in translation.

yea, whichever one it is, it still speaks to his modest living for a professional sports star.

[Gladney to see you]

No way I'd give up that much money.

Do you noticed something when reading this?

i noticed he was talking about players who are older than him, just like was said in the article.

Of course it is, he is our ing PG

Spurs do it well. Everything. But they aren't perfect

I'd say our '14 le was as close to perfect as there has been in league history and many of the team's haters would even admit as much.

The idea of pure basketball, simple but hard working & team first. Whether its all true (it's not), in David's mind it is.

Again, even the team's haters would readily admit the Spurs play a pure style of the game that is team first. Even in our 4 down years, no one would say we weren't team first. How is that not true?

It's still not out of the realm of possibility that he added some muscle though since the belief of muscle weighing more than fat is just a myth.

[daslicer]

I have seen his interviews he looks real excited to play for the Spurs.

He literally has nothing to do with this thread...

Yet the I hate Tony Parker Krew can't help themselves. And they always talk about people derailing threads

The Parker hating crew have to make everything about him, and it must be funny joke only to them. Already there is a kind of Lamarcus vs West vibe here. . . Can't we enjoy this guy's excitement for the season without all the trolling?

David West hasn't played one minute in a Spurs uni and he's already sacrificing $$$$.....

Wish some role player beta with braids did the same
