    I think all the winning will be more attractive to him tbh.
    I don't know how attractive it will be to him if the team wins but he stays on the bench in crunch time in important games, tbh. And with more teams selecting to go small in crunch time situations having to choose between Aldridge and Tim to close out games is something that will irremediably happen.

    You are free to worry about things that have yet to happen.

    Where's chinook ? wonder where all his danny green is better/more valuable than Leonard posts/threads are these days. Danny is being exposed for what he really is. A system player where sometimes its good and sometimes its bad. He's not good enough to make good out of any situation he's put in, hence he didn't leave. He's probably still worth the $ to the Spurs just because of the corporate knowledge he has and with the Spurs being in win-now mode but at other teams offering him 12+M/yr. And at chinook

    Saying all that, Danny starts to hit some threes and he's fine.
    Surely chinook never said Green was ever better than Kawhi right?

    Was already doing it but thanks for the reassurance that I am indeed free to worry about things that have yet to happen.

    nobody said it was a terrible signing, nobody said anything about Splitter..I was and am 100% in favor of signing Aldridge, despite not being a fan of his game..people are reading the thread le and forming that conclusion..

    The question is whether changing the system was worth it for a player that the Spurs have treated like a glorified role player(Aldridge), so far, and potentially at the expense of Green, when you just signed both Aldridge and Green to long-term deals.. it's a long-term question just as much as a question for this year..
    Why don't you focus on what is happening now. Tim Duncan is likely in his final year and so is Manu. The Spurs won't be winning another le or likely come close for many years to come after this one..

    Yes, worth it. Having LMA has taken a ton of pressure off the "big three".. Without him, yes we would still be winning games, but at the expense of our older players. Duncan and manu are coasting so far this season because of Aldridge.. Come playoffs, we will see another level of intensity from those two... So yes, the signing IMO is paying huge dividends and will more so come playoff time

    Not to mention, LMA will certainly get better and become more critical in future

    Smart thing to do.

    There are troll accounts for sticking with a terrible idea and digging deeper.

    This thread sucks so bad. Obviously Aldridge was worth it. You actually think that by standing pat this past offseason or adding a role player, etc. would have pushed us over the top of GS, Cleveland, etc?? With a often gimpy splitter, a year older manu and Timmy? GTFO here we have no shot at the le without Aldridge

    Jesus, I hope so. He always relies on that stchick where he gives a player a backhanded compliment or insinuates some shortcoming, and then when he's proven wrong, responds with "I actually like him tbh.. I never said I didn't like him.. you vanilla player fans are just reading into it imho"

    Link? You're using the example of Parker for your entire basis, which is strange, since I was 100% correct with that take, while most of you idiots were in denial..

    I don't know if I've ever been proven wrong here, tbh

    It isn't a horrible take, at least not yet..Aldridge has been the 5th best player on the team, so far, and his real value will be tested in the playoffs..

    with Leonard's ascension, LMA added in, theres no reason they cant be championship contenders for a few more years even without Duncan

    Duncan is still the 2nd best player on the team, pretty easily, I don't see how they could replace him as easily as you're implying, tbh..
    ok sure

    In all honesty, I hope Aldridge is 100% worth it in the playoffs and doesn't have an ugly decline for the length of his contract..he has been the 5th best player on the team, but it's alright, because they have a dominant record..at some point, he will need to become a star again, though..

    I hope this isn't deja vu, tbh..last year, I was the first poster that saw the onset of Parker's decline and made several threads about it in late November/early December(the media didn't begin acknowledging his decline until mid-January)..I was viciously attacked and insulted by most of the forum(4 of the most vocal and sensitive posters about it posted on the last page in this thread, btw), to the extent of receiving death threats in my PMs..Apo received even more brutality than I did, although he probably took the threads too far, to be fair..

    Unfortunately, I was 100% correct about Parker, last year, and most of the forum turned on him in April, 5 months after I began posting about it..hopefully Aldridge doesn't suffer the same fate, as the weight gain is worrisome, just like TP, last season..
