First Take: Aldridge Wants Out of SA; Blames Spurs for his Regression

[Mikeanaro]

Why are people arguing with Harlem as if he's still a Spurfan? ..

He is not very objective and always bandwagon to the hip team, Lebron Wade and Bosh used to think he was their

[MultiTroll]

At the end of the day, let's hope some other teams view LMA like he views himself. That in the right system he's still an all-star. Truth probably lies in-between. He's not as "bad" as we he was here and not as good as he was in POR.

There is some truth to that.
We were up 2-1 in 2016 playoffs as he went for 40 twice, and about to be up 1-0 on got State in 2017 with LMA being a good little #3 option. So he can play a role if he has better players and competent coaching around him. The dumpster fire that ensued after Kwa got cheapshotted shows where LMA really is on the Top Tier scale.

I agree - it was cliche. But it's true. People here sh*t all over LMA and he was not as bad as you make him out to be. He was a damn good defender and helped anchor a top defense in the league.

Spurs had a good record with him and some playoff success. He had some big games in the playoffs too.

But if he thinks it was all SA that hurt him, I hope other teams feel that way too because it would mean good value in a deal.

Says the guy who threw a fit because he perceived someone as taking shot at his precious Warriors.

Damn, Spurs finally land a big FA, yet it goes to ..bad look, tbh..people here still believe that the Spurs can actually attract players like Durant and LeBron, too

Im sure Spurs organization is still highly respected around the league. What isn't a good look is what everyone saw from Aldridge in the playoffs. In particular the warriors series.

I don't understand what LMA's problem is, nor do i understand why everyone has a problem with him. The whole year, the offense revolved around Kawhi/Tony, with LMA being a 2nd/3rd banana depending on matchups. Then when those two go down and the Spurs are playing the best team in the league, we expect LMA to magically be a prime TD and average 20/20. That's not who LMA is at this point.

Yes, he played soft and got pushed around. But holy , injuries just derailed the entire thing. I don't understand why you don't just try it again next year.

Pretty sure that's what we were going to do while trying to upgrade the PG position. It's been reported that Aldridge wants out

And all this time, I thought he was a Heat fan.

Might have to settle for a pu pu platter in return..At this point, I would be shocked if I see him back in Spurs uniform next season. The bridges between the two have been napalmed. Current players questioning Spurs franchise M.O/ethos even in a subtle form is simply crossing the line, let alone when it comes from a career loser.

Yep. If he is a Spur after tonight, I will be very disappointed. But the Spurs have disappointed me before.

Spurs want a Top 10 for LMA. Settle for #11 and send his ass to Charlotte to play with Dwight.

[noles1983]

Get a top 15 pick and a bag of chips for LMA. Send that beta got packing

Charlotte is capped out so couldn't absorb the contract.

It's just a joke. The thought of both Dwight and LMA playing together in Charlotte makes me smile.
