Nuggets should be our target. They have depth. S&T Galli, Chandler for example.
Cousins isn't on the Kings anymore, re .maybe the kings would give us cousins for la

Ppl don't understand it isn't just about LA throwing a fit...it bleeds it's way onto the court with his very obvious lack of heart and hustle...and this was LAST year before him being disgruntled was public...he NEEDS to go
Problem is not many want that on their team. Especially those young teams with cap space. They'd rather go with their young guys than bring in a selfish cancer like LMA.
He was pretty impressive in his last disgruntled season in Portland. This won't affect his game, he's a professional.
This. Pop and RC aren't going to panic. If the right opportunity doesn't present itself LMA will be on the team to start the season. I expect him to come into camp in the best shape he has since becoming a Spur (low bar, I know) and do everything he can to increase his value. All the naysayers ing about bringing back a team that had 61 wins last year with a few tweaks are way off base. If the Spurs don't sign a significant free agent then they will almost assuredly bring back Simmons and he will be better. I believe Bertans will play a much bigger role this year and he will be better. I believe Murray will make significant strides on both sides of the ball with a massive increase in playing time. The Spurs will be fine. And when LMA plays to a higher level to begin the season better trade ops will materialize.
There were only a few possibilities of teams that could take on his salary and just send out a desirable pick. (I don't think the Spurs tried to trade him for a really late pick, but I could be wrong.) But your point still stands, and LMA and his agent have to know it, too. So if there is a silver lining in all of this, it's that he's in a contract year. If he's going to get his hands on one of the giant contracts being passed out, he's going to have to bust his ass this season, and pretend to have a good at ude.
I'm not really worried about him in the SL this year, because of that. If we know that he's basically a 1 year rental, I would rather have gotten some value and started something new. But that's mostly because I don't think this is a ring year, even with him. But if he goes back to All Star form, or something near it, the Spurs could be a lot better than most people think.
Or ours has gotten dumber
This. If nothing else we should be able to rely on his selfishness to try and up his value for his next contract.
By mid season some team will be contending and may get hit by injury at the Soft Forward position. LMA may actually be a fit thus they may be willing to give up something good.
Remember when Soft Jefferson was slacking? Then Pop had meetings with him and purportedly went over video of every single play with him in the tape room. After that looked reborn and had a very good stretch of games in the regular season. Could the same thing happen with SoftRidge?
We can hope.
What did the tape show for ?
IIRC one of the points was he was not set up, ready to shoot (or react otherwise if ran off the line) when the ball swung his way. Was told and shown to be ready ie Brent Barrdawg or Michael Finley in his one good year of 2007, Bruce on the corner treys etc.
LaMarcus for a Treadmill machine and a set of dumbbells, just for the irony.
i put a laughing emoji... because i was joking. i was pointing out a missed opportunity for the spurs.

Would you take back Anus Kanter's contract for LMA if you also got back Sabonis and OKC's first next year?
Trade him to the Stars for Kelsey Plum.
-dolan is an idiot, maybe he trades a disgruntled porzingis for a disgrunted la... carroll hustles more than melo... knicks get a PG on the cheap
-melo has a no trade clause, maybe he gets on sold on the idea because the raptors are better than the knicks + the fans, media in toronto would treat him a lot better than new york's
I am hoping that now that Ainge struck out on all the big names free agents he will look to deal with us in getting LMA. The question I have for everyone who would you want from Boston to complete the deal?
you think Ainge is collecting all these assets just to flip them for a worse player than AL Horford?

Who says no first?
Phoenix.
LMA for Horford wouldn't be a bad deal if the Celts go for it.
