    He couldn't even back him down, which was alarming..as much as I dislike him, I gave his offense the benefit of the doubt, at least he would have a mismatch vs. certain players, but he can't even take advantage anymore..
    He has never been able to back people down consistently tbh.

    It's been inconsistent since his days in POR. However in POR he was lighter, more mobile which allowed him to put pressure at the basket or get higher % looks in different ways from a post entry pass. Whether if it was facing up and pump faking, driving around his man. Or drop stepping going baseline with the dribble, or going middle with the dribble. His footwork was quicker, more decisive when he was lighter.

    Now he gets stonewalled because he's heavier and less mobile because he comes into camp out of shape. Not just that, but the guy has no fluid dribbling ability whatsoever to make decisive moves. He reminds me of myself when I pick up the ball for the first time in months. My dribbling is always out of rhythm and the hand/eye coordination is off -- maybe that's the case with him still after taking 5 months off this past offseason coming into camp out of shape.

    Maybe we can trade him and D Murray for that Ball kid on draft night? I heard his dad is a real nice guy and I think they'd fit in with Spurs culture perfectly.

    Lavar Ball harassing Greg Popovich. I'd pay to see that and hear the horror stories come out of that.

    The only way Lonzo Ball becomes a Spur is if he flames out during his rookie contract and his Dad is taken by some combination of heart disease and diabetes related illnesses during the same period.

    Aldridge won't fetch a significantly better package than that..He is a damaged goods in his own way. We are talking about the Spurs, of all teams, trying to jettison their first "marquee" free agent signing in like forever..

    Aldridge for Howard + 1st (Howard's contract is a year longer at 23.5 Million...)
