Uh, no. LMA makes more than double what KO, makes, and want no part of whatever trash Riles would try to throw at us for salary matching purposes.

I didnt like the rumors either but they were there

I like him at half of $15MM.

My dream PF for the Spurs is Jonathan Isaac, who's recovering from knee surgery this season. He has the potential to be a future DPOY, and lead the league for years in combined blocks + steals. He plays great D without fouling, shoots the three a little, can play some minutes at SF. Some articles have deemed him Orlando's most untouchable player-- that's probably true, but it's still fun to daydream about the defensive dominance of a Murray-White-Vassell-Isaac combo... I'd happily trade a first round pick + a young player (maybe two players) to get him, as long as a physical showed that his knees don't have permanent issues.

This is a good article highlighting Isaac's defensive abilities: https://www.nba.com/magic/isaac-and-...-mark-20191211
