Generally agree with mono though, just can't see the Spurs swinging a trade for Irving.
What? If reaching a WCF finals is disaster then Mavs are at such a low for a franchise I don't even know the words

I don't think Cavs will trade Irving to the Spurs but I'm tempted to bet monosylab1k that will hapen just to improve our chances. I own that mavass big time, tbh.
What's with all these Spurfans that wouldn't give up Aldridge's scrub ass? Aldridge is as valuable as a bag of used dirt. If I could trade him for nothing and just get cap space I would do it.
You got that right.
That's not a trade, alien boy.
You don't leave the Cavs to go to San Antonio if you're Kyrie Irving level, age and marketability. You go to LA, NY or Chicago.
No wilt. Doesn't fit. Jordan will just take possession away from kawhi.
Stockton and Hakeem would work better.
Aldridge was put in a position to fail. He suddenly became the only focus in offence after kawhi and Parker went down. No one other than Aldridge and a 40 yo Manu had any ability to create a shot. It was easy to shut down the Spurs at that point.
Sure his at ude was horrible, it he would be invaluable as a 3rd option as his defense was good and his mid range and passing works well in today's NBA.
you know Spurs fans have really taken a tumble when WCF appearances are celebrated. 2007 era Spurs fans would scoff that into oblivion.
This is some silly stuff Mono - but I know what you are doing and I will allow it.
He was awful during the regular season on his costumary second banana role too, tbh.
I didn't think he was that bad. People were expecting another top 15 player in the league given all the preseason hype, and it was unreasonable. Aldridge can be an 18/10 guy with decent defense, and in this day and age, it's a rarity to have. I still think Aldridge could be rehabilitated, but he will never live up to the expectations. he won't be Jefferson awful, but I think he can be a legit second banana on a championship level team (though the Warriors and Cavs skewed what a championship level team is nowadays with all of that collusion). You put a Mike Conley type on the Spurs, and they can be a very good team with Kawhi and Aldridge forming a solid core. It really depends on what you were expecting in the first place. He's not going to prime Tim, or even post prime Tim, or even the Admiral, or even MVPau type of player, but he can be a fat Gasol type or a Chris Bosh type in the right system.
I just want him to stop being a soft inefficient fadeaway jump shooter, and that will never happen because it is his style.
That's it in a nuts . The man, not the man, sidekick, etc. Ultimately that's not the issue. It's the fact he plays with no heart and is easily discouraged, and shies away.
So Spurs fans have never mocked another fanbase for celebrating a WCF appearance?
Kyrie is an amazing 1v1 player but in the economy of a ring he isn't such a big piece as he is made out to be. Zero defense, zero leadership, chuck you out of games, no ball movement, weak off-ball play, small in size, he scores 30 but his man scores 35 and the defense is inexistent. The perfect overrated player imo, especially as he played against curry who defends worse than a chair, so he statpadded a lot. If the cavs are smart they flip him for young defensive pieces (wing and pg) and they go back to bullyball and win a ring. Too bad the cavs are ran by amateurs.
Hmm...sounds like Tony Parker
I don't think Curry is as bad of a defender as he is made out to be, but the rest of this post is on-point
Perfect for today's NBA.
Yet LMA sucks in today's NBA. Really makes you think.
18/8 isn't suck. Not sure what your standards are. He would have been Raef Lafrentz if he played 20 years ago. In other words Lafrentz would have been an all star and highly sought after free agent if he played in today's NBA.
