Yeah, seems like I remember some analyst on ESPN suggesting that Wade was a good candidate for a buyout. Another analyst raised his eyebrows and said that a buyout from the tight-fisted Chicago Bulls didn't seem likely.
I'd take Wade in a heartbeat.

would much rather pay wade $15 million for one season than tony.

i'd do that deal in a heartbeat. and i don't even like original funyuns.
No. a little bit of Madame Mim here.Seems out-of-character for you to speculate wildly. Do you know something? Because I imagine that they were pretty tough on the guy in the exit interview. (He probably wishes he had skipped it.
Just hearing Pop cut him slack at the end of season media interview and at the end of the series interview I knew that even as disappointed as Pop was, he must have been reasonable... I don't think he'd want to destroy the guys trade value or alienate him either way, but I think all the things said here in his defense Pop accepted as an excuse. Pop has cut slack to star players for missing shots, but the non-competing is where I expect they had a rift and I think things souring on Lamarcus end was the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't think Pop went into that meeting telling him he'd be traded...
But obviously yes, this was Madame Mim talking in my ear.
We get the better deal, tbh. The Funyuns have a longer expiration date.

I want a Cima Red too.Make it happen RC
What was the number of projected wins for the Spurs?Make it happen RC
Exactly. There's no excuse for that.No. a little bit of Madame Mim here.

Pop: Lamarcus, we need you to be in shape and ready to go when camp starts. We're also going to get you some coaching help for dealing with double-teams too.
Aldridge:
C'mon now, don't get greedy. We're getting a bag of Funyuns for Aldridge AND Tony.
can't speak to that but the funyuns would probably average more assists than tony.
flaming hot funyons would.
been wanting an la + tony trade since last summer
And a half eaten bag of funyuns would make more shots than Paddy.
You made some good points. his trade value is so low, he may reconsider his stance. To get paid again he has to repair his image indeed. One just cannot guess correctly into the psyche of these athletes bc some have been so pampered for years ... we don't know.
Tbh, he could have averaged that and it still wouldn't have mattered. You aren't gonna beat the Warriors starting Patty Mills and Kyle AndersonI don't want him to be prime McHale, I want him to at least not suck, tbh.
Saying like: "Do you want him to be prime McHale?", or "Did you expect him to drop 40 and 20?" when the dude barely got 11 and 5 on less than 40% shooting.
That some dishonest arguing if I ever saw one.
I don't imagine Pop ripped him or suggested he was trade bait, but I bet Pop said he needed more from LMA - especially more energy/hustle and more toughness/willingness to take it to the hole - especially against Harden et al. And, yes, I suspect Pop mentioned Harden's name in that interview.No. a little bit of Madame Mim here.

Look, I (Master Mim) believe that Pop has been coddling the guy since his arrival. We all know that is definitely NOT Pop's way. That alone puts a strain on that relationship, with Pop, completely contrary to his nature, walking on eggs s and LMA, no doubt, realizing that he isn't getting treated like the rest of the guys. And the "psychoanalysis" response in Pop's presser spoke subliminal volumes about their relationship and how it wore on Pop. For crying out loud, Pop screamed at the GOAT until the veins popped out on his forehead, and here he was treating this GOAT-mockery with kid gloves. He knew it. We knew it. Everybody knew it - even LMA if he has any brains. I think Pop was getting seriously tired of the masquerade. If the Spurs were going to really improve, Pop had to develop a more authentic relationship with LMA. So behind closed doors I think he finally was very direct with LMA about needing him to live up to his billing, take Pop's coaching and give him some nasty. And I believe that pushed LMA over the edge. (Call me Master Mim.)
It would have mattered in the sense that nobody would be thinking about moving LA, tbh.Tbh, he could have averaged that and it still wouldn't have mattered. You aren't gonna beat the Warriors starting Patty Mills and Kyle Anderson
Makes sense to me...
I don't think crawling back on his knees begging forgiveness could be taken at face value. The damage was done the moment LMA went public. It can't be "taken back." No. The risk is too high. Especially for what LMA has shown so far. BUT, if he were to come back, I would demand that he return Bruce's RETIRED number and pick another - which he could wear like a big scarlet "A".

If the Spurs could get contract-year performances from Danny and LMA, that would be huge. 2014-2015 Green was a top-40 player by almost every metric.
