LMA's value is at an all time low. Spurs should keep him...

[cjw]

No. Would rather bring back Bonner.

Given you'll have those two regardless, it's would you rather have Aldridge or $21mm of cap space?

[tim_duncan_fan]

He's going to be on the team this year. The whole year.

Because everyone knows he's mostly done, and what's left in the tank isn't worth dealing with his soft mentality.

We're stuck with him.

[bic50]

Can you imagine the reception from the fanbase this gutless, pussy POS will get if he is on the team on opening night? It will get real ugly real quick.

Yeah Spurs need to get rid of him.

[Spur|n|Austin]

There's no way he's on the roster on opening night.

[palangi]

I'd like to see us trade with the Suns and get Bender and the contact of Brandon Knight. Hopefully knight could raise his trade value as the second team PG in San Antonio.

No hes not.

I sincerely hope you're right but I can see him being here. Its not out of the question he stays but I imagine they want to rid themselves of this cancer. The problem is, he put up decent (not great) numbers and was part of a plan designed to beat the Dubs. The Spurs will have to find a good replacement at the PF spot.

His selfishness in regards to his "game" and concern for his numbers is not good for team morale. Ironically, that same self-interest for his numbers in a potential contract year might produce the results the Spurs wanted all along.

You are too optimistic for your own good

[picnroll]

Spurs won't get rid of him before opening night unless they get what they feel is adequate value at that point, a useful player, long term they want or short term that doesn't compromise cap space or for the salary cap space to sign a CP3 type. Next point of getting rid of him is the trade deadline for the best deal available for them. They might even keep him past that if he's playing well, Spurs are playing well and they can't getting anything worthwhile. If Aldridge is smart, questionable for this diva, he'll get in shape and play his ass off. His next contract depends on it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Trey Lyles got the Jazz the 13th pick

Either Buford isn't shopping Aldridge or his awkward ass is the worst negotiator ever...

[MaNu4Tres]

The 24th was attached to it. And Lyles still has tons of room to grow

Posted this in another thread:

Anyone seen the movie Little Big League? There is a great scene where a disgruntled vet is half assing his play because he wants to be traded. The kid manager (you have to see the movie) calls him out basically saying "you'll play, and you'll play hard, because if you don't, you're only lowering your own value and nobody will want you.

I looked for the clip on YouTube to post it but can't find it. Its a decent movie too with some great baseball scenes.

ST has a short memory. This nig dropped 34/12 on the road in a closeout game to get us to the conference finals while Kawhi was resting a sore vag.

Then, Kawhi re-injures his vag and we lose to one of the greatest teams in NBA history. And it is LMA's fault?

GTFOH.

Yes because in all 4 games vs WCF he was lethargic and had a 5 and 6 point scoring game...

Putting LMA over Kawhi. ....we now know who not to listen to.

Except he didn't, he averaged 16. He had a ty series like the rest of the team while Kawhi was trying to figure out which finger to use to apply his vagasil and how not to sprain his ankle on his own teammate.

I'm a sheep. I only like to read and agree with the group-think opinions on ST

I'm also a got

No ones blaming lma for the loss. It was his effort the rest of the series that didn't sit well with coaches and fans. Simmons atleast showed some fight and went down swinging while lma just gave up. If it weren't for Parker and Kawhi Spurs probably go out in the 1st round against the grizz because lma the max player barely showed up in he series also.

If rumors are true, in spite of your view, the league doesn't view Aldridge all that highly right now.

[palangi]

I say stupid to get attention, because I live in my patents basement.

not just that, I bet there conditional deals lined up for picks, but Spurs were likely only completing the trade if a player they liked was at the spot. They wouldn't trade him for some pick they believed to be comparable or similar to what/who would have been available at 29 anyways... I believe they had some targets for the trade and couldn't get the guy. The Spurs desire to get in the lottery tells me it was one of the talents that went highest in the lottery... likely not available at 13...

[dabom]

If only LMA was a true second option Kawhi wouldn't have to carry so ing much, he probably wouldn't have worn down.
