Aldridge was jealous of Lillards shine, same thing wil happen with Kawhi.

I hope they find a way to play along each other and realize that it would be the best for their careers. If there's one guy who can make it work, it's Pop. Just like he mentioned in a interview this off season, he wants his player to feel a sense of responsibility for the success of each other. Those weren't Pops exact words but for me that's what he was trying to say. So far ego hasn't been an issue for either Kawhi or LA and I hope it stays that way.

Side stepping chump trying to hide his third grade mentality behind people's legitimate posts. Don't hook your train up to others. Easily one of the worst here, and that's pretty ing bad, dude.

187 posts of not raising the bar. Look, op got called out because he went diva. This was 5 pages of filibuster. Chump is just a do enter of stupidity. This thread is stupid. We are all dumber for posting and reading this garbage.

First let me ask you this: do you think tony parker is a cancer? do you think his ego hurt the team? do you wish him injury?

No yes no

[GreggPopAsnitch]

You made a prediction and stated no facts with actual sources.
This would be a rumor thread. And it's ok.
If you didn't meant it literally, just clarify.

You're probably getting more heat because of the constant Parker vs Leonard feud going on here.

But in any case, you guys have been going on and on for 5 pages with something that could have been easily resolved in 2 or 3 posts.

Ive been telling chump I didn't mean it literally. As far as sources, there is no definite source, just rumors from Blazers fans and staff. He said it was gossip, the pint of me even making this, is because it can translate to on the court issues as well. I didn't know ppl take this page so literally, like did you read the post and thinking I meant it was for sure going to happen? Cause I don't next time I'll be more clear lol.

Krew. Seriously, are you guys so in' in need of attention and acceptance that you form some "Krew" on Spurstalk. GET A LIFE. There is nothing wrong with being a fan. But when it becomes the iden y of who you are, that is just pathetic.

Who ho are you addressing??? The 3 people attacking me???? Lol

[GreggPopAsnitch]

Aldridge had multiple teams he could have gone to to be "the absolute man". LA, NY, Phoenix, etc. He picked San Antonio and a team role because he'll get the best shooting percentage, camaraderie and chance to win rings here despite the reduced hoopla and usage.

I agree with everything you said. Just saying it is always a possibility, because he is (supposedly) known to be the envious type.

[Gladney to see you]

Doesn't seem smart to come here if you are jealous. This is the Spurs. I think he will be okay.

Not with Tim Duncan and Pop around..

It's all about timing.

The dynamic is set, and people are in certain places in their life, career and game, seasons of manhood, where I feel the thread le fails to see in depth.

The jealousy you foresee, doesn't make sense, now.

Because it has been made clear KL is the future, Duncan has a way of encouraging humility, and Aldridge has a different mentality at this stage, than he did in Portland.

I don't even follow the Blazers that much, but even to me, it was strange how the Blazers were quick to bring Lillard to the forefront. It's understandable that LA would have been miffed after all the years of loyalty and service.

I actually think the opposite is going to occur here. I think LA would delight in KL success. LA doesn't need to be the focus.

Aldridge also must realize his time is dwindling down, things shift in importance, and he might be at the point where he wants to share everything he has acquired with someone who he feels is worthy.

So over in Portland, you had some young upstart being giving shine, perhaps a little before LA felt he deserved it, and of course that breeds resentment.

When LA looks at KL, it's not the same.

Ya'll need to stop swimming in the shallow waters...

No yes no

Ok, got it...

That's ok

To the point of this thread.. I agree with what others said about Aldridge having more of a team mentality now (whether he was actually jealous in POR or not).

Of course we'll see when the season is actually running, but it would make no sense coming to the Spurs if he didn't get ready for the well known Spurs culture.
