I don't mind recruiting. Rumors have Leonard and Duncan making a pitch to Aldridge too. I guess I'm in the less is more camp. I'd rather hear from the team trying to lure me and leave the rest out.
I'm sure those teams don't like doing it either. But hey, it works. You gotta do what you gotta do.
Hey, when Orlando was recruiting Duncan, they used Tiger Woods and Disneyland. And it almost worked. You can't blame people for wanting to feel wanted. It's human nature.

Is it possible that the Spurs would be able to retain Splitter and Green (including Duncan and Manu)? If Aldrige signs with us or without trading any player?
Assuming Green signs with 1 year deal and wait for the cap space extension next season? Then don't re-sign CoJo, Belli, Baynes, etc. but would still be able to sign a free agent for cheap.
Does the Spurs really don't want to exceed cap space limit even if they'll pay for the taxes?
Just want to ask also, what's the limit once a team exceeds the cap space limit? As long the owner is willing to pay? Example just like Knicks last 2006 I think they hit $120M player's payroll.
Probably already posted but First Take (guest) cast all think LMA is headed our way and it will be a good fit.
I think it's 90% LA lands in SA tbh and from what I'm hearing. Houston will meet up with on day one, but it seems like it will be more of a courtesy meet with them.
Believe it or not, that's actually what I was trying to say.
I would say 50% man, 90 is a little high as of now... I wont be dissapointed if I stay thinking that way.
putang ina kung hindi pupunta si LMA sa atin
bad trip na nga, wala pang gustong pumunta sa Spurs
I'm sure whatever she wrote was positive! Lol
Houston don't have money to spend, but meeting with a team on Day 1 gives me the feeling he could be seriously interested although making cap space is an issue. I would think you meet with the most important teams or teams most likely you would want to join at first. After that, you would do some courtesy visits.
Bottom line is if Aldridge wants to be a Spur so bad, he will. They want him and have the cap space to sign him, so if he wants to be in the silver and black it's happening.
This is the only thing that worries me...
Spurs front-runners in race for Maggette
By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo Sports Tuesday, Jul 1, 2008
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slu...maggette070108
They have been the front runners a few times since for some players, we hear that a few times and then they go sign with the so called sexier pick. I think Maggette got more at GS though and they offered more PT? I forget but he bolted after it seemed he would sign in SA.
That was different, Aldridge is gonna be the Spurs "Main Guy" in 2 years or until Timmy retires. I am sure he knows this he will be the future face of the Spurs, so that has to be exciting.
Think of how lucky the Spurs were to not get that big ass contract on their books.
I can believe that. Been believing it since it was announced that Aldridge has interest here.
^ True and I get the whole "things happen for a reason" but at the time I was caught up in the hype and thought he was was going to sign.

Daryl Morey says Rockets more likely to re-sign their own free agents than land a big name dlvr.it/BM3lY4
At 9 p.m. Tuesday night, the Suns can start negotiations with free agents and again approach it with a wide-eyed vision to land a much-needed star.
The Suns are expected to start with pursuits of All-Star power forwards Kevin Love and LaMarcus Aldridge, who are unrestricted free agents, and have another priority to quickly reach contract terms with their restricted free agent, guard Brandon Knight. Signings will start July 10.
The Suns have about $12 million of salary cap space, although they will be allowed to exceed the cap in re-signing Knight. Love and Aldridge would demand maximum-level contracts, which would entail the Suns trading players to create the space.

Found tlongII on Twitter.
^tlong is a 70yo "bachelor" ... That looks more like ElNono trolling tschlong tbh.
that guy looks cuban, tbh... the cuban tschlong...
Talking bout LMA, I was at a Costco gas station here in NJ, and the guy manning the pump suddenly asks me "so you guys are getting Lamarcus?"... I'm like wtf, and realize I'm wearing a Spurs shirt, and tell the guy "don't know yet", and he tells me he's from Portland and he was hoping LMA stays...
So there you have it, completely random story that doesn't include molasses on it...
