Good point. Wonder if he would've signing if we could've matched?
Blessing in disguise, though, since LMA is 5 years younger.
2015 was the first summer since 2003 that the Spurs had more to offer than the MLE. Pau signed for more than the MLE.

I don't know. Pau likes the cultural outlets of a big city. I do agree that it worked out well for the Spurs.
That's more of what I was alluding too. Sure, the Spurs might have tried to go after bigger FA's before, but never on equal footing money wise. First time they really did that (not counting keeping their own superstars) they won.
And keeping their own superstars has been vastly underrated.
Also, more than ever (outside of things like nightlife, etc..) the market matters less and less. Winning trumps all when it comes to exposure and you can be as big as you want to be in SA if you win. Tim could have had huge endorsement deals well beyond what he has if he wanted. He made that choice.
Now every game is on TV, watched all around the world. There is no advantage there any more.
I think the big endorsement money is still better playing in bigger markets.
Probably true - just saying the gap isn't as wide (at least IMO). You can still pursue things if you're great especially no matter where you are at. The big FA's (like we are discussing here) are going to get there's no matter what. While there is definitely a gap based on market, big names will get there's if they want.
he's just playing both sides....
"He's not worth it"
"I've always said we should sign him tbh.."
Aldridge impact is severly limited when he does not score. His defense has always been poor defensively when he doesnt get touches.
He got the diva reputation because of that
Does not compute. This year, even with much lower usuage and stats because of that, he's had his best defensive year probably.
Salty applesauce.
OP only shows up around here when we lose or someone plays poorly to say something "profound"
Plays for the spurs, plays with the only perimtetter player to win multiple Dpoy, and a top 3 defensive big of all time.
He's a great post defender but hardly anyone post nowadays. His closing and contest is also a joke.
Nothing against him, but its pretty clear hes one of those players who needs spoonfeeding to be effective.
Ya, because I didn't show up earlier today after a nice stretch of games for Aldridge..damn..
Its pretty welll do ented that I wasnt for the Aldridge trade. I thought and still do that it was going to destory the spurs chances of getting better players in kawhi 26-30 prime years.
I didnt think the spurs could compete against a prime curry and.a historic team with Kawhi being 23 years old.
Aldridge will ultimately kill Leonards 26-30 years.
I mean, you can go check the Aldridge FA thread and read my comments, do you want a link? I've never been a fan of his, but I was 100% in favor of signing him, including over Marc Gasol..
This thread is going to go back and forth with the same arguments
Other posters: bump this thread every time Alridge has a good game
Harlem: he has been poor vs. the better teams
Other posters if Aldridge plays well vs. GS/OKC/Cle: Aldridge showing up vs. a good team!! Harlem's a moron!!
Harlem: let's see if he can do it in the playoffs, he has always been great during the RS
Other posters if Aldridge plays well vs. OKC in round 2: !!!
Harlem: meaningless, let's see him do it vs. Golden State, they are the only challenge
Other posters if Harlem plays well vs. GS:
Harlem: I don't care, happy that the Spurs won, I'll eat crow, Aldridge has evolved
Advanced internet sports fan arguing, free of charge, tbh..
Harlem sure doesn't care what other posters think about him.
i'm not denying that you said we should sign him. its just funny that you go back to that all the time so you can sit on both sides of the fenceI mean, you can go check the Aldridge FA thread and read my comments, do you want a link?

Wtf; this tranny keeps quoeting me and following me around. I'm not interested. Get a clue
Relax, HH. You've said enough things for and against LMA to be able to claim you were right all along no matter how he plays this season.I mean, you can go check the Aldridge FA thread and read my comments, do you want a link?

You guys are really chippy these days. Why? Not enough Spur losses?
