LMA is gone!

[DAF86]

If they are still working for trades why make this public? We aren't getting in return.

It only makes sense if we are buyers.... if we are after draft picks it's not happening without taking on a bad contract (Love? )...if we are buying and packaging LMA with a young player and/or picks it doesn't matter that it's public...in fact it could help..

[Degoat]

Tbh I hope this doesn’t drag on, could become a distraction for the team

He had every right to request a trade when he did considering Pop originally promised him that he would still get his 20 points per a game with the Spurs. I remember reading about this when LMA signed with the Spurs that he was concerned his offense would go down but Pop promised him he would still be able to get 20 or more. Pop broke that promise. Can't get angry at LMA for wanting out. That's all on Pop for not being honest

Secondly Kawhi has a much bigger ego than Lamarcus. His ego is on the same level as Lebron,Durant,Harden. Just look at the antics he put the clippers through last year such as showing up regularly late to the team flight and delaying take off by 30 minutes to an hour. Kawhi plays games with every team he is on. Say what you will about Lamarcus he doesn't play games.

Thirdly you just hate Lamarcus. He was your target from day one. You were going to hate him regardless of what he did. He could have averaged Wilt Chamberlain numbers and you would have still hated him. Anything short of him getting the Spurs a championship would have gotten your ire. You are just a hater.

Didn't read, dude requested a trade after going 61-22/2nd seed out West and making the WCF, dude's a certified bum.

It doesn't make sense either way, because on either scenario LA's values decreases to the lowest of levels.

Spurs trade to Miami for Leonard? After his controversy?

[timtonymanu]

I really don't think this was him being cancerous. I honestly think the Spurs just didnt want him anymore--even as the back-up 5. He's been that bad. It needed to happen but it's still bittersweet to see him go. Despite all the winning over the years he's the only big name FA to sign here. He also held us when Nephew broke our hearts.

Eubanks wont get it done though. They either need to throw Samanic out there or try to get a back-up center in a trade package.

Idk Gay playing the 5 tonight makes me believe LMA was pouting about a bench role. You know Pop loves his old veterans so even a washed up Aldridge would have been fine to him. even Pau Gasol lasted a little longer than he needed to on the team because Pop gives his vets the benefit of the doubt. It’s all about LaMarcus Loser serving what’s in his own interest vs. the teams. Didn’t even take 3 games for the guy to bail after being benched. Soft ass got. You’ve even called him out for his soft behavior before.

Only fools celebrate losing a player capable of dropping 30 pts on any given night. Spurfan sucks ass and doesn't know when to appreciate what we have. 113 pts away from 20,000 pts and we got ppl on here celebrating and laughing. you all.

[timtonymanu]

Kinda gross seeing all the Aldridge love in here but you guys are more patient than me. Just glad the Nephew/LMBeta era is over. It had potential but both of those guys only cared about themselves and not the team.

For all his flaws, I can respect Derozan for not pouting or being a locker room distraction despite how his situation played out and still playing hard for the team. Way more Spur to me than those 2 losers that bailed.

[Blackhaus]

Who cares what went wrong. LA is a s of his prime self or even his last few years of borderline Allstar play. Spurs just doing him a favor to get a good resume for future free agents.

Meh I only celebrate greats like Tim, Tony, Manu, Dave. You know guys that never once pouted or whined about their role and just went out there and played and actually did something worth a damn. Sorry I don’t celebrate mediocrity. But I know you’re a full fledged sniffer so sniff sniff

Nah you read it and didn't like it so you came back with your typical hater response.

[Rummpd]

FAIL what seems like great news is really nothing except the inept FO and Pop are belatedly moving on regardless how. What a sham to let this bad fit for Spurs for 2 years plus get to this point. Maybe they pull a rabbit out of hat and get some trash in return but at least a year too late.

He's terrible on the defensive end but his offense will be missed. We don't have anybody outside of Demar capable of getting an easy 15-20 points a game. Like I said in previous post Spur fans don't understand how most stars are wired. They will continue to learn the hard way for years to come. Most stars don't want to sacrifice their numbers like the big 3/Dave and they will most likely find that out when the Spurs get their next star.

[Kurgan]

The last time the Spurs won a trade was when they did the George Hill for Kawhi deal. Ever since, they have been a trainwreck when it comes to moving players. Spurs fans should be very afraid when there's talk of trades involving this organization.

[EricB]

Nobody would take this washed up version of him over Griffin or Drummomd. He's not even a consistent offensive threat anymore.

someone’s in for disappointment

[cool cat]

Paging Aaron Gordon.

[FkLA]

Remember when you said Patty was going to play a mentor role? Still out there 2 yrs later, closing and having plays designed for him in crunch time.

[Degoat]

I’m prepared to be underwhelmed, but this team needs a jolt of new energy even if it’s a meh acquisition

[diego]

They prolly got wind LMA was gonna go public with his dissatisfaction and release demands, and decided to go public first. Would further ruin their look if another big name pulled the same bull as Nephew in the span of three years, especially since LMA had requested to be traded before.

Good theory. All i could come up with, is they were getting few offers and figured maybe they can get better offers if teams think they can get him cheap and want to keep him away from a rival..

[spursparker9]

His arrival sure bring excitement in 2015 when Spurs just came off a championship and the dynasty is here to stay.

Compared to Nephew, he did his best when he could. Appreciate that

[tbdog]

I enjoyed prime LMA for the Spurs. It was good run that might have ended up with a le if Zaza didn't happen. In saying that, the future is bright in SA.

See I don’t like his at ude but I’m not happy that we lost his talent. Even the version we had this year still was better than nothing, but he was really over it I guess. Hoping for a decent replacement.

[SPURt]

End of an era. They should trade him to the Clips for practically nothing to troll Kawhi
