Report: Spurs might get a free agent meeting with LaMarcus Aldridge

[Richie]

Spurs can afford both. That was the whole point of Kawhi waiting on extending his contract. They can even afford Green as they have his bird right's and can resign him even despite being over the cap.

This is the same scenario Morey tried to pull of with Bosh last offseason but instead lost Parson, thinking no team was going to offer them the Max. But unlike Parsons, it appears that the Spurs have already told Kawhi he is going to get the max despite what happens. It's all about the timing of things at this point.

There was no reason Houston had to lose Parsons. I think they played it perfectly up until the point where they chose not to match hoping Bosh would sign.

[Richie]

Another Aldridge-specific factor is Oregons 11% (!!!) income tax compared to none in Texas. That would more than make up for any marginal cut LaMarcus would have to take under the max to sign him.

Of course if he cares about making as much money as possible he should sign a 1+1 or 2+1 are get another big contract when the cap jumps.

if anyone is joining the Spurs, its going to be someone from overseas. Maybe a middle of the road free agent.

LMA will be a great spur imo. He is humble and has polished technique.

[cjw]

Y'all have to pay MAX to retain KL longterm. Can y'all afford to pay both players MAX? Enrique, ter, Diaw and Patty are all still owed another ~$64 million over the next 2 years. Plus, how much to re-sign Tim?

Tell you what. Pay LMA MAX, and I'm sure MK will gladly take KL off your hands with a MAX deal (remember he's a Cali boy ). New young Laker core: KL, Randle, Clarkson, and Towns (or Okafor). I could roll with that.

Go get LMA. Do it RC!

Read my post from earlier and the replies to it - they'll have near max money and can easily get to max money by moving Diaw or Mills.

Lakerfan are too lazy to learn about the cap, just like the owners

Zbo currently skull ing LMA.

Aldridge looks extremely frustrated, tbh..

Can't blame him with that mediocre supporting cast..Lillard is one of the most overrated players in the league, Matthews' is possibly finished as an elite 3&D guy, and Batum sucks..

boxscore warriors will tell you LMA has 21/13... but if you watched any of these first two games, ZBo just toyed with him

I can't lie. I've only caught a few minutes of both games but every time I tune in zbo is ting on him.

Grizz even resting ZBo right now, and Portland with LMA can't cut down the lead

Dude is soft as . No thanks to him coming here tbh.

The same was said of Splitter. It's amazing what the right coach and organization will do for a player.

Just look at Kawhi speech thanking the Spurs for giving him a championship mentality and Pop for coaching him. Where Kawhi thanked RC for drafting him, LA would be thanking RC for signing him.

Man, the way Tim looked Wednesday I say keep him another 2 years, And then toss the hat in the ring for Davis.

hey maybe by then he will be as frustrated with the Pels as LMA is with the Blazers. BUT the two aren't mutally exclusive, we can keep KL sign TD to a cap friendly deal and get LA and that in no way stops us from getting the Brow down the line in fact a Spurs team constantly in the le picture only increases the Spurs allure.

[ducks]

I take him even if it green bolted

green is leaving anyhow he hates tp guts

[ducks]

you sign him get rid of baynes

FIFY, seeing as that's who's going to actually be a free agent in 2017.

I'd much rather have Duncan return for another year.

I would rather have both

Not enough cap space if TD returns. TD is not playing for the minimum, so don't even go there.

All a moot point anyway, the guy isn't leaving Portland.

other then money why stay
why lakers
why knicks

[Mel_13]

the mle

They won't have the MLE if they use cap space to sign a free agent. The biggest exception will be the 2.7M dollar room exception. Tim's not playing for that either.
