They are not trading him this year. He's too good and we obviously need him to be even remotely compe ive in the west.

How many years do you think Durant and Lebron have left to play at this level? This is Druant's 10th season and Lebron's 14th. Sometimes people have to be reminded that players get older
Not to mention that the Spurs have a lot of young guys who can get better and will have cap space for a move or two.
Jabari Young is in idiot. I can't believe the SAEN would run a story based on McMullen's comments. in shameful tbh
Yeah, he looked like an opportunistic rat and really bad. I mean, Chris Sauces Broussard bad.
Trading Aldridge would make no sense
I was happy when the bucket left for Philly; I guess he came crawling back when they realized he was a got. Of course SAEN would take him back; this is a company that still employs the autistic Jeff Mcdonald.
Dude didn't appreciate me telling him it was a shame he ran with a story from a rumor
twitter is down for me due to that big cyber attack going on today. what did he say imo?
Weird, I embedded it in my above post, guess the cyber attack is messing with that too. Here's a screenshot:
Signing a rookie or new to the NBA guy who can fit into the system isn't easy. Signing an all star near his prime and expecting him to sacrifice contract negotiating leverage like stats is simply wishful thinking. The luster wore off when Tim retired. Who wants to be taught by a guy who never talks, and hasn't been around as long as you and has 1 All Star game under his belt?
Plus the Spurs don't need to pay max wages to anyone not giving them a legit shot to win. LMA is a good acquisition, but for SA he's not going to be the guy who gets them there. For some team that has star power already, Aldridge would be a good pick up.
That's a got way of defending himself. So he spoke to the and read info off of Lowe's article; such a cuck.Weird, I embedded it in my above post, guess the cyber attack is messing with that too. Here's a screenshot:
Probably didn't even speak to her. Today's Journalism...
Right.. you're talking about after 3 years. I'm talking about the next 3 years. The Warriors core is still young. Curry and Durant are 28. Thompson and Green are 26, which is only one year older than Leonard. I'm pretty sure all 4 of those players will be right in their primes in the next 3 years. Spurs can try to get younger now, wait it out a few years and maybe get back into contention as the Warriors dominance winds down.
Of course Spurs can always stay in the hunt by keeping Aldridge and pray the Warriors suffer a couple of severe injuries.
Wanting to win games is a loser's mentality?
The only trade that i would like that involves Aldridge is unreal because it also involves Parker.
Aldridge and Parker for Westbrook and Illyasova works by the numbers, and Illyasova is an expiring contract.
It can only happen if Okc season goes south early and WB demands being traded. Which would put OKC in tank now mode, or trade for veterans. If they choose the latter we might squeeze in.
Unreal to say the least.
LaMarcus is a veteran there is practically nothing for him to still be "taught." I doubt Timmy's decision to retire had very little to do with this rumor circulating. Especially when Duncan was 38 years old at the time of Aldridge's signing, so at best they had two seasons (which ended up being one) to play together.
LaMarcus has had limted (team) success on his Portland teams, so he probably saw the Spurs as an opportunity to really start competing for championships. No one could have foreseen the (Spurs) collapse of this past postseason, the Warriors becoming a historically great team and then signing the 2nd/3rd best player in the entire league.
He likely doesn't have a better chance of winning anywhere else except *Oklahoma City, Golden State and Cleveland. And him going to any of those cities isn't currently financially feasible.
* If they don't give up too many assets to obtain him.
FWIW, and interesting post from reddit:

As someone who used to work for the spurs in a media capacity, one thing not a lot of people are saying is that teams often will feed their own beat reporters disinformation as a way of causing other teams in the league to ante up and kick tires.
In this case, we have the Celtics and their draft picks. Somebody seen as a team source (trust me, these teams know EXACTLY who their sources are, "anonymous" or not, at all times) tells Ms. McMullen, a Celtics reporter, that the Spurs are considering moving away from Aldridge, and she reports this. It's her job, and no one is breaking any rules anywhere. This news causes other teams around the league to perk their ears up. They assume the Spurs have told SOMEBODY on the Celtics and are testing the waters on what LA might fetch from that pile of picks and players Boston has. From there, other teams start quietly discussing what THEY could trade, potentially as a better offer. Eventually, one of these trade packages will either get leaked or offered outright, and from there business in proper can be done. It's manipulation. 100%."

Sounds more like a common tactic for Danny Ainge. He feeds Lowe a story, who couches it as a "crazy prediction". McMullan follows up with reports that he's on the block and then says the Celtics wouldn't want him because of some vague reference to "What I heard the other day". With no details, no source, and no facts, she has placed a wedge between a player and his team, and simultaneously knocks his trade value down a notch or two so that Danny can swoop in to rescue the poor Spurs and their problem all-star with no charges of tampering.
If the reports of the McMullan apology are true, then Pop didn't bite, and doesn't appreciate tactics like that used on him. But he's a cold-war guy. Maybe the whole thing came from him and none of the fingers are pointed his way.
The truth is that if Lamarcus weren't such a baby, he wouldn't be targeted for stuff like this.
Franchise record in wins and home wins. But hate > facts. Par for the course here in the sludge that this place has become.
