Thank you LMA. Goodluck on your next team.
Go spurs Go!
Yes 100% on this. We all were ecstatic when he announced on 7/4/2015.
And it worked great his first two years - 67-15 his first year, 61-21 his 2nd with a real chance to get a ring if not for an injury.
3rd year (2018) he had his running mate quit from the start of the season and he still led the Spurs to the playoffs.
2019 was his down-turn but he was also dealing with DeRozan taking the reigns as the anchor - team made it to last seconds of a winnable game 7.
I know he soured a lot of people in that summer of 2017 asking for a trade, but he chose to instead extend with the team and who knows what the 2018 team accomplishes with a Leonard playing.
I was just looking at this 2015 ST thread last night having a feeling it was coming to an end. Worth a browse for those who forgot how stoked fans were.

Lol to the Spurs junkies thinking he'd bring a pick back..
Sean just said in the pregame that LMA will be bought out, then backtracked and said "or traded".
I wouldn't mind that and maybe that is where the Alize Johnson smoke came from as well.
All time? Yeah pretty bad.
In today's NBA, not even that bad![]()
Obviously it makes the most sense that he gets bought out and the Spurs don't hamstring themselves with the trash of some other team.
I’ll be bummed if we buy him out, even if it’s a bad contract. It’s not like the spurs sign guys with salary cap anyways
Obviously they are going public because no one will trade any asset for him. I still think LMA is a solid big in the right system.
Need that salary cap to resign their young guys tbh.
how does this tie into Franz Wagner scenarios?
Sounds like I'm living rent free in your headoff
Wow this is great news. Would be awesome to get some decent piece or pick in return but this is addition by subtraction.
Some of us called it that his injuries weren't' really injuries and just the team making up to excuse his poor play cause of his exceptionally fragile ego
Some of us also called it on him wanting out as soon as the offense wouldn't run through him anymore and low and behold, here he is
Never anything more than a selfish, whining, me first player who did nothing of note in a spurs jersey but help extend our playoff streak for two more years and I don't care about that at all AND one can argue that was counter intuitive to a rebuild where we should have been bad those years to get top end draft talent
Spurs had to take some necessary steps to get back to being a legitimate championship team and getting this whining crying bag off the team was a necessary step
On the one hand I should give the front office some credit for having the balls to get rid of this trash ass dude but on the other hand its the same front office that held on to him two years to long
Dude had the audacity to talk about how hard it was for him to come off the bench WHILE playing the absolute worst basketball of his career![]()
Send him to the Lakers.
Golden State’s Spin Factory hard at work

Still, the end of Aldridge's Spurs career is good news for the Warriors' bid to avoid playing in for a postseason berth, as San Antonio is one of the team's Golden State must pass in the standings in order to do so. For all of Aldridge's struggles, redistributing nearly 26 minutes per game won't be an easy task for Popovich.
Thank God he chose yall he and PATFO did us a huge solid ...he was good the first two years but like I said at the time signing him melo or Greg ing Monroe to a max deal would be a mistake
I would have been excused it if the Spurs were playing like a lottery team this season and he wanted to play for another team that has a shot of making the playoffs but the Spurs look like a playoff team this year and could have used his services at the backup 5. But it comes down to his touches and role again. Same pouting and whining he did the whole time here and he’s no better than Nephew for me. There’s so many other great Spurs we can appreciate, why should Spurs fans appreciate this loser? Might as well celebrate Richard Jefferson while you’re at it
Sell low! Can't complain too much, it's really addition by subtraction at this point with Aldridge. Let's hope Rudy and the wombat are next > Yes-I know Patty is gonna retire a Spur (just wishful thinking)![]()
Thank you Sweet Baby Jesus.
Will get some piece the front office thinks is helpful long term! Else just buy his ass out. No point in taking back a bad contract, thats just dumb at this point or a trash player they dont like at all.
