Marc Stein: Spurs are #1 on LaMarcus Aldridge's list

Our chances of being a true contender next season are astronomically higher with Lamar signing.

Absolutely, which is why I want the Spurs to sign him.

Odom is trash. You guys are idiots.

[RD2191]

Trade Porker. Retain everyone. Win a Championship.


tbh.

Not if u start Co jo... Better get a starter at point in return.

First round exit was not because of Green or Kawhi. They were two of the three best defenders on the floor in that seires. The loss was due to Tony Parker being non-existent (thanks to three injuries). Also, the Spurs BARELY lost in game 7. If Parker shows up just a little bit the Spurs win the series, so yeah, keeping Green and an ever improving Kawhi is a win-win. Especially if Parker has a bounce back year, which I think he will.

And again, game 7 SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED! Series was lost in game 6.

And to answer your question, if the Spurs win round one, I think they beat Houston, Golden State, and Clevland.

Spurs and Clippers were playing at a higher level in their series than any other teams reached during the entire playoffs. But kudos to GS for having the best regular season and getting an easier draw as a result. Can't fault them for that.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but lma had to meet with Lakers and raptors for due diligence. So while we and his agent can
Look at capspace and statements, only a formal meeting can confer an offer... ? So if spurs cheap out he'd have a contingency. I imagine these meetings will be quick. $, roster talk, etc. You don't have a late night meeting over a million dollar contract. The Lakers first due to Pacific time zone and being desperate to appear relevant.

So theoretically lma could have already picked but is just going through the formality of getting other teams to show their best offers. Hopefully the spurs can get a discount to avoid the team being gutted.

for alridge pay to be the same as Portland the spurs do not have to offer alridge the max because of the tax

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Listening to the Lowe Post podcast with Zach Lowe and Marc Stein, and they mention that since February there has been the idea of Aldridge going to the Spurs because he's very interested in being the guy that has to fill Duncan's shoes.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If he doesn't get a deal as big as rumored, that's a lifesaver for the Spurs.

DG is worth it. He is system player, although a very good one. IMO 8 mil a year is FMV for Green. However, since he did save the Spurs some cap when took 1.5 to 2 mil less a year to resign with the Spurs in his last contract, Spurs should give him a legacy contract and bump it up to 10 max. Anything beyond that would be asinine. But grant it, his defense on Curry or Klay is what gives the Spurs in that matchup and they will be the Spurs biggest hump next season, along with a healthy OKC.

If SA could get LMA and keep Green I think I would would loss my freaking mind! That would amazing!

It only takes one offer.

Pistons could offer alot..He would be an idiot to go there.

Goodbye Splitter if that happens. Interesting.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

It's no secret that the Cavs need additional backcourt scoring after Irving. It has to be a deal with Mills plus Diaw or Splitter.

[ducks]

Could be sign and trade with green that would suck though

Lowes post was if he is worth 8 figures (10 million) not 8 million
