Spurs officially looking to trade LMA

[tholdren]

Gasol, LMA, Green, and Simmons for Melo and Porzingis. Do it now.

Not melo. No

[MultiTroll]

Any rational discussion of Bonner is off the table. We all know he was Pops lover boy.

Fin was the first somewhat big free agent that chose the Spurs. And dude at least played like he wanted win, and they actually want a championship with him.

And Duncan actually tolerated Pop n Bonny? Well obviously he did. But w-h-y?
Finley yes 2007 ok paid in full for 2006s choke. But why the keep him for 3 more years as Duncan was in sore need of frontline help?

Then make NYK take Knight's. The Spurs would have a hard time making Noah + Knight + Porzingis work under the cap only unloading Softridge.

Suns want to move Bledsoe

[tholdren]

We're talking top 10 here and Kennard isn't among the top ten. Kennard isn't their guy.

Answer the question.

[MultiTroll]

Not melo. No

I was thinking the same thing but then flip him to one of the LA teams.

[apalisoc_9]

Yep. Racist because i like fundamental, smart players, who fill a scoring need for sa and will be extremely coachable.

You like to call every white player smart and every black player stupid.

I've seen kennard play. His Basketball is terrible.

But carry on with your racist agenda.

[UZER]

You forgot about Brent Barry.

Good point. I think Fin was a bigger name signing since he had been a "star". I use that term loosely. Barry was always a great complement guy who was better when the talent around him was better.

[TimDunkem]

Answer the question.

Anything after ten, I'm not trading Aldridge. If I trade into the top ten, I'm not taking Kennard.

[Spur|n|Austin]

FWIW, I still think LMA has value as a #3 guy.. Just not a #2 guy. Can't be relied upon.

Couldn't agree more

Youve seen highlights. I bet you cant stand duke, or grant hill

Totally disagree. Aldridge is a 3rd option at best.

Bonner was obviously charming enough to let emotions get in the way of rational. I'm not saying it's right, but sometimes it happens with certain people. It's stupid from a business standpoint but these guys aren't robots. Aldridge is as aloof as they come. Look how he always sits at the end of the bench.

Fin is where Pops loyalty comes to light. He's loyal to a fault. It's one of those biggest weaknesses. Just my opinion.

So moving it to the here and now...
How much are Pops romantic emotions getting in the way of Kawhi getting another legit Championship?
I hope he is not f'ing up any trade or draft ideas like say so his beloved Porker can play 20 seasons.

LMA?

@ calling LMA an established star player.

Wasn't he an established all-star in Portland for years?

Let's put it this way, Parker and Manu aren't going anywhere unless they want to go somewhere or retire. If that prevents good trades, then Pop will say thanks but no thanks to those trades.

I think Pop has soured on Aldridge. Alot of his post game comments seem to be directed at him in a way that pop doesn't usually single guys out. I think he had to do damage control after the season with his comments about Aldridge as to not diminish his trade value.

More proof than the CP3 thing might be stronger than anticipated, tbh.

[raybies]

I just don't think the current Spurs era wants to pay guys that don't perform. I mean they shipped off Richard Jefferson. Things got awkward after awhile but I'm interested in y'alls opinion, has it gotten that bad?

i think Sacramentos 10 pick or Detroits 12 pick are the best we can do but with Detroit we'd have to take back salary. Would y'all do Reggie Jackson salary dump and Stanley Johnson with the 12 for LMA?

[SAGirl]

LMA exit meeting wasn't the best...

[SAGirl]

So much for PATFO playing their cards close to the vest.

Spurs better hope they trade him now tbh.. These reports are going to bruise his little ego, and we know how mentally fragile LMA is and how this could effect his play, tbh.

Starting to think those rumors from Jackie MCMullen were true in preseason ... I bet at the time Spurs weren't getting enough return to feel comfortable pulling the trigger.

[Spurs9]

I'm all for trading him tbh, get that money off the books, get some big talent in and get CP3.

[SAGirl]

Better late than never. A year late... tbh..

You were on target in this one. Credit where it's due.

Has there been anything reported about this?
