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

[K...]

Replace pop with agent:


"I think that LMA has decided already but Pop told him to take advantage of the situation and all the attention he's receiving from the various teams. He'll never be chased after like he is now so I think Pop said Hey go enjoy the moment and the attention and if you still want us then we'll be here when you are ready to sign"

Good for Byanes.

Agreed. Props to getting that big deal Baynes.

[hater]

that's it. I'm out of here s

"narrow" it down to 3 teams

this guy is a joke.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

that's it. I'm out of here s

Just going off of what that hick in Phoenix said, most likely.

Just going off of what that hick in Phoenix said, most likely.

It's the same exact quote.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Still not being reported with any seriousness, or by anyone worth trusting.

[rjv]

the reliable sources have been pretty silent for a while now on LMA...

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Probably because there hasn't been anything coming from his camp, The Raptors aren't a serious option, and the Knicks meeting hasn't started.

[yavozerb]

LMA just wanting another beatdown by TD in Magic i guess...

[Sean Cagney]

Still not being reported with any seriousness, or by anyone worth trusting.

Ie a waste of time until then.

I think the big media guys already know but have been asked to keep quiet about it. Aldridge is finishing his due diligence / playing nice and then the announcement will be made.

I want Aldridge on this team, but damn. He's 30, shoots jumpers at a low percentage, and plays very mediocre defense. You want to win, now? Sign with San Antonio. Want to be an 9th seed, sign with Phoenix. MFer thinking he's Lebron James or something.

Pretty much this.

[SpurPadre]

None of the higher-profile NBA insiders have mentioned or acknowledged that LMA has asked for another round of meetings other than that Phoenix dude and now this Knicksbulletin.

[Russ]

3 yr/20 million for Baynes apparently.

The Spurs strike again. Why would any young washed out player want a second chance with any other team?

[SASdynasty!]

Tbh, LMA would be a piece of if he turns down SA. Not only would he be turning down SA but in essence he would be turning down his child.

Truth nuke, tbh

[Dre_7]

Still not being reported with any seriousness, or by anyone worth trusting.

I don't believe he will do 3 more meetings. He said he wanted to make a decision relatively soon. I'd guess the announcement comes tomorrow.

[crc21209]

Yeah that "news" isnt coming from any reliable sources though so cant believe it right now..

Sounds like that's what's happening. It's been way too quiet on the LA front.

[hater]

well no way Pop meets with him one more time. Maybe a phone meeting

Hearing robin Lopez convincing Aldridge to join Knicks

Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA
Straight from Tim Duncan: "I'll be on the court next year" ... story coming soon on SpursNation.com

Pop has seldom done what people expect of him. In this regard, I doubt Pop is scoffing or complaining at the idea of one more meeting.

[Mnky]

Spurfan are so selfish. I would not want such a needy insecure fan base. Guy is making a decision that will change his life. His decision will not even be felt by spurfan til the season starts. If you think the spurs haven't reached out to other players and gauged each other already you seriously do not appreciate the front office. The guys know what they're doing. Whether he signs or not, the dominoes are already in place to move forward. He take as much time as he wants, he won't ever get this again in his life. He earned it. Spurfan eager to cash in on another's accomplishments and claim he's dramatic when their cashing in on his life decision is postponed a whole day or two.

Seems legit.

he scoffed at the idea of a 9PM meeting.
