Some of us have been saying it for quite some time now.
LA for Bradley Beal works straight up, and I would do it in a heartbeat regardless of not having a legit big in our roster. Also, maybe we can send him back to Portland. Any other ideas????
Ma Touches
is a lone wolf type of player. Send him to Siberia.
Danny Green turning back into LDN when he’s no longer his teammate.
The time to trade him was last year, now he’s on the decline and we’re stuck with him.
I honestly think he's disinterested.
I've been saying this almost the entire time, going back to Kawhi's last full season here. So annoying that PATFO didn't trade him during the off-season after rebuilding some trade value.
Actually the Wiz signed DWert who just had back surgery. I think they would like LMA. I don't usually post trades, because that is just a moot exercise. But... I like a two-trade proposition: Touches and DeMar to Washington for Beal and Porter, simultaneously trading Pau (and a 2nd?) to the Cavs for Tristan.
Some of us didn't want him in the first place, and agreed that he should have been traded after last season.![]()
We will never win a championship with him on the team. He is a 180 from Timmy. I'd say at this point everyone will be considered as trade material. But this team as it is ain't going to even get close to the playoffs. Right now they are a lottery team. And Pop should retire to his winery where he can let RC Drunkford stay drunk 24/7/365.
A star who cares more about his touches than winning a Championship...smh.
Going after him when he was at his peak made sense and we had to go for it. It just hasn't worked out as hoped.
Like I get why we went after him... but does he sound like a guy who's over himself? I swear Pop has a criteria as to who he wants on the team and he just don't seem like the type of player that fits the Spurs mold. But what are you gonna do, it's not like free agents are busting through doors to go to San Antonio.
LMA is just like Harden. When the going gets tough and they aren't getting theirs, they mentally check out.
Trade LMA, Toronto pick, Gasol, White, Pondexter and Mills for Beal, Porter and Morris. Draft either Gafford or Bol and play DDR at the point. Sign a Big for the mle in the off-season.
It was a no brainer going after him but once he went into Pop's office and asked for a trade, that should've been it. The Pop who canned Stevie Jax would've done it.
what’s crazy is what is his trade value? I just can’t imagine getting much value for him
Trading now would be selling way too low. I guess you could ask DeRozan to sit out for a month or two, so that Aldridge can be "the man" and improve his stats/trade value.
Made sense to some but not all.
Wasn't the Suns his second choice when we got him? I wonder if they'd still take him for their first round pick?
If LMA is seen as an over the hill player who doesn't mesh with the direction the league is headed, it doesn't matter what his stats are. His value won't go up, as other teams see it.
If LMA, himself, wants out, he should be traded if at all possible, as soon as possible. His presence, or absence, appears to have little to do with the ultimate fate of the team this season. We're bad.
Try to get an incoming draft pick in connection with trading him. Under no cir stances give up a pick to move him.
Combine him with any other player(s) on the team to move him, if that's what it takes, except Murray or Walker.
One thing about it, it's a pressure-free situation in a way. No need to get a top quality player in return, not this year. Let the tank happen.
Best to look for a "showy" player who can entertain the crowd and give something to talk about, even if he isn't very helpful for the final score.
My view, worth what you paid for it.
LOL everyone who gave me for saying they should have traded Aldridge last summer when his trade value was as high as it would ever be.
He doesn’t have much value right now. I would not give up a good player or significant draft picks for someone at the tail end of their prime. he looks away past it right now.

Does Pop have any value in this video?? Yikes this is a sad to witness but happens to all the best.
You don’t buy high, sell low. The offers will be dog
