Was Aldridge worth it, tbh?

[dabom]

Ignore the numbers all you want fanboy, it's your delusion.

You are the only dumbass in this whole board who would rather have tiago than LMA.

Never said I wanted Tiago. Tiago is injury prone so also not worth tying Spurs success to.

I am just pointing out that LMA is *not* worth the money he's being paid. Just like Richard Jefferson. He's serviceable, but definitely not max money.

[kaji157]

Aldridge is fine by me, he will be judged in the Playoffs.

This is his first season. Tiago looked like pussy in his first season here, Kawhi seemed one dimensional, both things are happening to LA right now. I´ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

He clearly has a good at ude.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I just want to see him get rid of that ty midrange pump fake that clearly doesn't get the whistle and actually take the shot.

Agree. That is a bit annoying. Besides that I have been pretty pleased with his performance

KL or LMA?

KL or LMA?

I don't even know how you even think KL as one of the suggestions.

Another pedestrian game by LMA against the Denver Nuggets. LMA scored 12 points. The real tell of how bad he's playing... zero assists. Watch the game and you realize that guys are just shooting over him because of his passive help defense.

David West and Boban Marjanovic had a better game than LMA.

Trade the bum already!

[spursistan]

Everyone in this ing board says LMA is worth it. Even harlem you dumbass. The whole ing Spurs FO says he is worth it. We are the 2nd best team with lots of room for improvement. The guy has been playing huge minutes in a completely new system and we are a great team statistically. LMA does more than just score. He also plays defense and he isn't an injured vagina. You are a huge got tbh.

Splitter left Saturday's game against the Knicks with right lower leg muscle soreness and is questionable to return, the Atlanta Journal Cons ution's Chris Vivlamore reports

Tiago Splitter (leg) is questionable for Monday's game vs Indiana.

at folks who are still thinking we can contend in the conference if we stood pat..FO has earned the benefit of the doubt with its moves..IMO, they were ready to cut bait with Splitter even if we didn't get LMA in the summer ..Dude is just breaking down at fast rate and it would be a disservice and irrational to let Timmy to go out having to carry a load like in Clippers series..Aldridge may or may not pan out in the playoffs, but at least he will be there in flesh..

Agree.

I didn't like the idea of salary dumping Splitter, but it has turned out to be an absolutely great move. That issue really has been settled. Splitter simply can't be relied upon to play a significant role on a contender.

Splitter deserved to be cut... no question... the injuries were problematic in Spurs playoff runs.

What you want to compare is Apples with Apples, that's David West vs. Aldridge. Both are is same situation in having to learn the system.

Go look at the numbers.

[daslicer]

Statistically he's earning his money. He's averaging close to 16 points and 9 rebounds a game along with being one of the best defenders at his position this year. The type of numbers he's putting up will get you 20 mil per year in this league.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bump.

Oh wait, is this only supposed to be bumped when he plays bad?

[ChumpDumper]

lol "big man version of Iverson"

[houston spurs fan]

Lol, Aldrige too fat. GTF outta here

Dude comes to SA, plays great defense, meshes with the team, doesn't force his offense, doesn't about his shots, helps the team to a 68-win pace, and people dislike him. rufl

Not to mention there's been an obvious improvement from when he first got here. It'd be one thing if we were 2 months in and he still looked just as uncomfortable as he did at the start of the season...but that's clearly not the case. He was noticeably more efficient in December compared to November (55.4 vs. 49.5 TS%), and just watching him out there you can see he looks much better than he did to start the season.

Hopefully he'll continue to get more consistent as the season continues. This was the first time LMA had back-to-back 20-point games as a Spur.

[cutewizard]

LaMarcus Aldridge is arguably the best power forward in the game, on Earth, right now!

[cutewizard]

When LMA competes for Finals MVP, thou shall eat thy words, o naysayers, hahahahahahahahaha

[cutewizard]

A Prophecy:

LaMarcus Aldridge shall compete for FInals MVP!

Mark my words!

I have spoken!

[Mr Bones]

As for the subject in hand, i dont think Aldridge is worth it.

The current Spurs team is clearly fool's gold...

Please stop posting.

[ceperez]

everyone will be thrilled that he's a much better player than Tiago Splitter (which he is).

however, he's not an all-star that fans may wish he should be.

[cutewizard]

LaMarcusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss A

best in the world
