Marc Stein: Spurs are #1 on LaMarcus Aldridge's list

This is taking too long. The guy has been weighing his options for months now. Just make a decision already. I mean really? Meeting with the Raps and Knicks? Got to be kidding me

[Spur|n|Austin]

If you'll rephrase your question into comprehensible English, I'll be happy to answer.

Good luck with that.

That sweep was only consolation. Basically, the Suns were primed to be raped again, but the Spurs just got sick of trying to the same piece of ass again and couldn't get it up. Meanwhile, Phoenix was happy to escape cleanly this time. This is pretty funny though because now the Spurs have found a new way to the Suns. I feel bad for the Suns because now the Spurs have a new interesting way to rape again.

You have to give them a bone every now and then. But seriously, Phoenix? Wow, what a hole organization.

I thought this guy wants to win but now after all this meetings with ty teams i am not sure anymore.

Maybe his momma wants him to exhaust all his options before he makes a decision?

However, I couldn't imagine she isn't supporting him coming to San Antonio, since her grandson lives there, and Tony Parker gave her the ol' in and out.

There goes plan B

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

You're fast, beat me to it.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

By the way, I like the way the Bucks are looking.

[Texas_Ranger]

Well there goes our back up plan. :-)

[hater]

if we don't get Alridge

[Rev Hill]

Realistic Aldridge, like any of us, would want a nights sleep to soak it all in, and thoughtfully make his decision. I expect something this evening, prior to the holidays this weekend. Praying its the Spurs and per below, I'm taking the approach that it will be.

Probably already discussed, but assuming Aldridge will don the #23 jersey of the Spurs. Wore #23 at Texas. At Portland switched to #12 as I believe Darius Miles had #23 at that time, plus believe he wore #12 in high school. Obviously #12 is retired here. Don't believe anyone on Spurs has #23 now. Now just need some of the photoshop folks out there to create the "Aldridge in #23 Spurs jersey" as prep to the announcement (again, maybe the pic is already out there and I just haven't seen).

Hook'em and come home to south Texas LaMarcus.

So... what was plan C again?

[JR3]

This afternoon with the Knicks.

Thanks! I'm not going to sweat it until later this afternoon then....

[Texas_Ranger]

So... what was plan C again?

David West.

[Marcus Bryant]

Interesting he commits before Aldridge.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Plan C: "Deandre, you like big ol' women?"

[NASpurs]

So... what was plan C again?

David West and Robin Lopez?

[Texas_Ranger]

Soon we will all want Tiago back.

[ducks]

David Aldridge ‏@daldridgetnt · 2h2 hours ago
Raptors did well in meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge, but it is unlikely he picks the Raptors, per source.

[JR3]

David West and Robin Lopez?

we would be screwed...lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Well there goes the rumor that Lamarcus was waiting for him to sign with Portland to join up I think is even more unlikely now he goes back to POR.

[cjw]

Aldridge should just ask Dragic how good of a organization the Suns are. They are gonna probaby sign 2 PF's as soon as he arrives.

Or Alex Len. Draft a developmental C and then plop Tyson Chandler in front of him. Suns should have been all over guys like Middleton, Green, Carroll instead with their cap space. Now, they have two guys who probably can't play together:

Chandler shot chart: http://vorped.com/1-nba/2014-2015/pl...ler/shotchart/

Bledsoe can't shoot either, but at least Knight is okay from the right wing.

[SpursFan86]

Ehh, I'm actually glad Monroe went ahead and chose Milwaukee. Didn't really want him here for the type of money we'd have to give him, and now Portland's "we're signing Monroe and you for the max" pitch just went out the window.
