Yeah the Lakers want a 22m a year shorter version of Roy Hibbert.
Do it RC! I think Aldridge would like that trade all day

We've gone further in the playoffs every season after signing him and he put the team on his back when it mattered most to get us to the WCF. Needs to work on his defense obviously and slim back down.
You mean their 2019 pick? They aren't trading this year's second overall for LMA unless the Spurs took back Deng and Mozgov. Don't look as it's about $100mm combined for three more years each - http://www.spotrac.com/nba/los-angel...rs/yearly/cap/
Maybe for the Houston pick and Clarkson?
That would be stupid. This isn't the NFL. You don't win now by trading away an established star for a rookie, doesn't matter how promising the rookie is (unless maybe LeBron, but there hasn't been a LeBron since '03 and there won't be for a very long time).
Spurs should only consider trading LMA for a reliable starting PG and change. Anything else is not worth it. You need another big start to complement Kawhi - someone who can run point without having to ask Kawhi to run point as well as everything else he needs to do
You trade LMA 100x out of 100 for that pick. It's not even close - cost controlled rookie in a loaded draft. Also, you'd be able to flip that pick for way more than LMA, who will be a year older, brings to the table. Lakers aren't this dumb.
You'd have to flip it for sure if you want to win now, but yes, Lakers aren't that stupid. Unless of course we take their dead money.
If Laker think they can get George, I think they make the trade. Aldridge and Paul George would be good to build around
Unload if you can. Try everything in your power to do it for a fair deal. If you can't, you make it very clear that he better come to camp in shape ready to work next season, and if he doesn't you will trade him whether you get a fair deal back or not, even if that means sending him to the Vancouver Grizzlies.
By that logic, we keep him and build around Aldridge and Kawhi.
That would be a miracle, AIDS HELP US HERE!
That's a lame comparison, even for you.
Except for the fact that we already tried that that and LA laid an egg. Dudes not happy.
Depends if RC and Pop see him as being a totally different player when Whi is in the side. Like , letting Whi have all the pressure of expectation etc. but, then he come up big in the Houston game w/o Whi, strange .
That would be much more likely, though I would prefer that Randle come back in return as well.
Seems like I remember a certain trade involving George Hill that paid damn near immediate dividends. The difference is that Hill was actually playing well. Like the dude said above...100 out of 100 times.
No way the Lakers trade the 2nd pick for LA straight up. Only way they might consider it is if the Spurs take back Mozgov or Deng.
wtf
Lakers would never take that. And the point is moot because, again, LMA isn't going anywhere. He's here for at least another season. Need to find other ways to improve our team.
Hill was a choker in the 2011 playoffs vs. Memphis, though (after a good 2010 playoffs vs Dallas).
The irony is the Lakers wanted him a couple of years ago.
