First Take: Aldridge Wants Out of SA; Blames Spurs for his Regression

[tonight...you]

Man, you guys are disrespectful. Someone should tweet this thread to LMA

Yeah, like over and over.

[TFloss32]

OMG guyz, he just followed the Indiana Pacers on Twitter 2 minutes ago, does that mean Paul George is coming???

[LkrFan]

I'm going to tweet your message to Trump so he can have your ass thrown on the other side of the wall.

[UZER]

Man, you guys are disrespectful. Someone should tweet this thread to LMA

I'm going send your Warrior fanboy threads to Magic.

Yes it is. There was no reason to keep calling that play. Pop should have called the high-lows he brought Pau in to run. The offense was predictable as , and it wasn't just LMA. Pop doesn't get to throw his hands in the air while collecting several million a year. It's his job to fix this , but nope, same plays over and over again while everyone but Kawhi had bad years.

LOL

Yeah, OK.

[Mikeanaro]

Lol, you go to one of the best teams to win a ring and instead of playing your best having TD giving you tips KL and others... you end up being a pansy clown that gets punked by point guards, the only fadeaway that actually worked is the one that you are pulling on the Spurs.

LOL no one is going to get that reference in 2017.

Never felt the amount of hate for HITA as I do for this . Not even RJ was this bad. This is a new low.

[tholdren]

aldridge

Not if he brings spurs a top 10

Go back and watch the 2002 second round Manny

That was actually a winnable series unlike the 2017 WCF

People are dumb. They don't get how twitter works. LA is still following Murray,Parker, green, mills, Kyle, gasol, dedmond.

Are you really trying to claim that they didn't have LMA in those high low looks? The reason why they went away was because Dedmon couldn't run them. They ran them whenever those two were on the court.

Even with the pared down playcalls the team struggled to execute. That is not anyone's fault but just the reality of the roster turnover we saw last year.

Nonetheless the ran double baseline screens to open him up coming across from the weakside. They would set a backpick on his man off the elevator to free him up. They'd send him to the post with penetration to keep the help honest, give post up opportunities, and offensive rebounding opportunities. If teams started hedging pnr they would have him slip the screen and go to the post. They used to put him in pnr with Kawhi and others and if there was a switch they would send him to the post.

It's not Pops fault that more than half the time he threw the ball out. And when they would repost him he would settle for the turnaround.

Frankly outside of increasing his minutes or taking away touches from Kawhi I don't see what they could have done. Most everyone else was opportunistic and did not have plays run for them. Should they have ahd him cherry pick?

I'm pretty sure he has nothing against them.

[davidbowie]

they are called damm snowflakes

[SAGirl]

This. I don't care if LA gets the ball 25' from the post. He should be able to back Harden down. Pansy ass beta.

You know, if he was too far away from the basket, he could always give it back and move to a cut to the basket to get it right back.... never saw him do it.

[DMC]

Sent away like Ragnar's bas son

[cd98]

If trade doesn't go down, I'll blame ESPN for defaming LMA's abilities. They are scaring away all the dumb GMs.

[DPG21920]

I have a feeling this may not be resolved tonight

[SAGirl]

He will not be here next season. If he is still a Spur tomorrow morning, I will be disappointed.

I am starting to be disappointed...

Sometimes, I read your posts calling LMA Lamarsha and the negative comments, yet your sig is of a kid going nuts with the caption "...Spurs sign Lamarcus Aldridge and David West..." lol

[sasaint]

I am starting to be disappointed...

Yep. Me, too. But if they don't get it done tonight, they will trade LMA after July 6. He IS gone.
