Source: LMA eyeing new team, MAVS the favourite

[G-Dawgg]

Can we, though? Timmy and Manu are gone in one year, and Tony looks like a s of himself from two years ago.. I don't really see why Aldridge would be so excited about that, tbh. Kawhi alone isn't enough to make someone want to come play in SA. I don't see what the lure is for Aldridge or any other marquee FA to come to SA when we're going to lose our best players in 12 months. Plus, he'd have to live in SA, which pretty much no player wants to do. Dallas seems much more logical to me considering he's from there, already lives there in the offseason, his family is there, and they can offer him a fat contract.

The Spurs are only 1 year removed from being champions. They are the standard for excellence as a franchise. They have the NBA's newest rising superstar in Kawhi and will have another chance at contending for a le again with Duncan and Ginobili returning. Parker is one of the best team first point guards in the NBA when healthy and played most of the season injured. He should be healthy and in shape this year. They can easily move Splitter if they need space to sign Aldridge. The Spurs have the blueprint to be championship contenders and the right hall of fame coach to learn from. Dallas is close enough to San Antonio that him being from there is really a non-factor. So, tell me what else is more appealing about going to Dallas.....

Ellis will opt out of his contract and choose to join this year's free agency pool. Does this hurt or help their chances of landing LMA?

Helps I would think. Less salary on the books, one less ball hog on the court. Don't know that any superstar is itching to play with Monta.

It's what i was thinking too, yet does it make Dallas look less enticing considering the lack of talent there? Or was being "the man" always the deciding factor?

Reportedly being "the man" is a big deal to LMA. But really it's all speculation.

[Maddog]

Nowitzki is gone in a year also. What that leaves them ? Chandler, Parsons and Ellis ?

Start mapping out the parade route...

I can't quite articulate why, but I just don't see LMA coming to the Spurs. I also not sure if he and the Spurs are mutually interested.

Even though the Spurs make more sense, I still expect LMA to sign with Dallas or stay in Portland, because that just seems to be how Spurs' offseasons go.

Gaw dammit. It's like the mavs and roxs go after big name free agents every ing season.

Success or not they still get some big name free agents.

With Ellis possibly gone, Dallas is now targeting Danny Green.

I doubt Green would sign with the Mavs.

I hope this doesn't leave. He's really underrated on ST. Here's what he told the SAEN... “I hope it doesn’t get too crazy,” he said. “You don’t want to count on things in advance, but I just hope I can capitalize on I guess what you’d call a career peak.” -DG

Same old, if you wanta win you come to Spurs. If not you roll the nice elsewhere, bank the money and hope the management deliver on promises they made you.

I couldn't have said it better.
