Almost threw up in my mouth looking at that roster.
was about to say.
could very possibly lose in the first round with that roster... that frontcourt... would not get a lot done.

I strongly suspect LMA will be on the opening day roster. For all his faults, it will be hard to get decent value and he will playing on what is essentially an expiring contract.
The bigs on that list just won't get it done. Defense would be nonexistent in the paint
LOL sorry I meant trade Aldridge. No way in the world you trade Murray.
LMA got butt hurt over the playoffs, when in fact, he needs to be working on his game with the same intensity as Kawhi. Pop & RC are doing the smart thing, try to trade him for an All-Star such as Paul George.Otherwise, keep him, it's a no-brainier really. LaMarcus, plays his best b-ball during contract years, and when he feels he needs to prove himself.
If we sign George Hill, and bring Simmons, Dedmon back, I will be ecstatic!
Hill, Dejounte, Tony
Green, Simms, Manu
Kawhi, Simms, KA
LA, Bertans, KA
Dedmon, Pau
Would give us a much better team than last year.
Idea for a 3-teamer
Millsap to SA
Aldridge to Utah
Favors to Atlanta
I think these scenarios are realistically possible as both teams would benefit:
LMA to PHX for Bledsoe and Bender. (Suns would have a 1st 5 of Knight, Booker, Jackson, LMA and Chandler)
or
LMA to MIN for Rubio and Patton. (If the Wolves can sign Lowry, they'd have a 1st 5 of Kyle, Butler, Wiggins, LMA and KAT)
For us, we should try to sign Griffin and a defensive center after (maybe take a chance on Hibbert).
SAS roster
PG - Rubio/Bledsoe, TP, Murray, White
SG - Green, Simmons, Manu/Hanga, Forbes
SF - Kawhi, Anderson, Blossomgame
PF - Griffin, Bertans, Lee
C - Gasol, Bender/Patton, Hibbert
^ Yeah that makes absolutely no sense.
^I agree with that dude
That's a little dramatic. The Clippers will likely miss the playoffs, assuming that Blake leaves.
Spurs should be a top 3 seed and unless they drop to 4th and play the Warriors in the second. That unit, while lacking at center, is still probably better than Houston and has multiple defender to through at Harden and Paul.
Leonard did average 25, 9 reb, and 5 asts, against the Rockets in the playoffs last season, and unless they get PG, another year older Ariza isn't stopping him.
That team should be able to make it to the WCF.
Well I was looking at it as either hedging your bets at PG or having trade pieces to get someone like Paul George.
Something like Mudiay or White (whichever they like better) + Bertans or Milutinov (again whichever they prefer) + Sign and trade of Simmons (or the assets from another team) + 2018 1st for Paul George.
So say something like Mudiay + Bertans + Simmons + 2018 1st for PG. The Pacers get young guys with good amounts of potential that fit with the players they have right now.
The Spurs would then have
PG: Murray / White / Forbes - Parker
SG: George / Ginobili / Hanga
SF: Kawhi / Stanley Johnson / Hanga
PF: FA signing or Anderson / FA Signing
C: Drummond / Pau
Maybe sign Rose as a vet stopgap. Spurs get significantly younger, more athletic and have some versatility.
I'll be amazed if the Spurs get anything useful for Aldridge after he couldn't get them a decent pick.
agree. hopefully some team gets desperate. After Blake, Millsap, and Ibaka are gone, Aldridge might be attractive. But man GM's have gotten smarter it seems.
Never underestimate the stupidity of NBA GMs. There is still a long way to go.
dude... hate to break it to you, but the spurs starting kyle anderson + pau gasol is not gonna get the spurs to the WCF
think it over a bit.
LMA to Sacramento
For
Wily Cauley-Stein C - a rim protector and rebounder. Can defend pick and roll
Malachi Richardson SG - good shooter to develop. Great length.
Future first rounder
They love WCS. They're not giving him up for Softus.
He couldn't net them a top pick so close to the draft, probably in part because teams had already worked out and scouted players extensively and weren't willing to make a move by that point.
I think it's more likely that he could be moved to Denver or Phoenix for a top 10-12 protected 2018 pick, the bottom half of the West is fairly wide open and both teams seem like they are intent on making the playoffs. We'll have to see where Blake and Milsap lands but I don't think that it's impossible.
I don't know they have drafted Harry Giles, Labassier, and the big Greek kid the last 2 years. They might part with WCS to get some veteran in there that can score.
And we can throw KA in there too

Everything I've heard is that they're not too interested in LMA. If they are, I doubt it would be for the one big they're highest on.
maybe the kings would give us cousins for la
Kings are in full rebuild mode, they aren't going to trade away young guys for someone on the wrong side of 30. The best trade options are teams who are borderline playoff teams or just missed them last year.
They're also trying to do right by the fans for once and start (trying) doing things the right way. They're not about to give up (as you've said) young pieces - not just for a guy over 30- for a guy who will essentially be a locker room cancer.
It's sad. LMA went from being a seemingly typical Spurs-type guy to someone who many consider a bad influence to have on a young roster.
