Spurs officially looking to trade LMA

[TheCerebral1]

Are there even any rumors as to teams that would actually want to bring in this malcontent. What a waste of size, shooting and ability.

[FkLA]

My buddy who went to UT with LA.

50k people went to UT with LMA.

[Mal]

Only make sense if Spurs will land Porzingis. Get assets from Sacto, call Phil

[Hoops Czar]

Barkley and the Jet pretty much drove LMA's stock down.

Like those guys have any credibility. If anything, those two talking trash probably drove the price up slightly.

and get PHX to send their 1st to NYK. spurs send a future pick to knicks as well

knicks get the lottery pick + starter they want, and they unload noah

Phx should get #8 in that scenario. Or NYK/PHX picks not involved

[TimDunkem]

That scenario is nonsense all-around. The Suns only trade the 4th if they get Porzingis.

Porzingis to SA is another stupid ST pipe dream.

[spurraider21]

of course its a pipe dream. but we can have fun, can't we?

[TimDunkem]

How can we get Durant, LeBron, and CP3?

[cutewizard]

Hmmmmm?...........

If Phx is offering 4 for LMA, I'm taking that pick and not messing with Porzingas. Also, if KP is truly better than the fourth pick, then Phoenix would just send that and one of both of the Miami picks to NY for KP.

Zingus is the first domino to fall via trade.

Phoenix should be holding out for him, first. Hopefully Boston steps up and gets him instead -- which would leave Sarver/Suns out of options and a little more desperate for LMA.

I would love for the spurs to trade Aldridge for a top pick that would allow them to target Jonathon Isaac. Kid reminds me of Greek freak. Would do wonders to our length and athleticism on defense.

He is the guy that jumped out to me as well. Really impressed with how well he moves on defense. You won't find many 6-11 guys with the foot speed to close out to the three point line and still recover to contest/block the shot, and also some versatile offensive skills.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

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.

I believe the strategy was to bruise his little ego tbh - otherwise they would have never done this openly.

I dont understand the strategy for the top 5 pick though unless they plan to add that pick to a trade package

[bdictjames]

LaMarcus for Brook Lopez?

[Jdspur20]

If Spurs were to trade LMA for a 4th or 5th pick, how much salary would that rookie contract cost?

[illusioNtEk]

LMA for 4th pick and Brook Lopez is good

[MaNu4Tres]

LMA for 4th pick and Brook Lopez is good

Spurs need space. If they are trading LA, they likely aren't taking a player back, just a pick(s). If they bring back a player, that player will hardly make anything.

Exactly. I cannot fathom that anyone would want to take a gamble on this turkey. Hope the Spurs can pull off a miracle.

Never underestimate the idiotism of Gm's in the lottery. I could see Orlando taking a chance on him.

[Mr. Body]

LMA makes a team in the east an instant playoff contender.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Absolutely no way in does LMA bring back a top 5 pick

[look_at_g_shred]

I mean teams have been striking out in the lottery for years (Kings, Magic, Knicks) Maybe they get tired of trying to find the next 'gem' and say it give me LMA.

[Mr. Body]

It's also a ty draft. Long and medium term prospects, few game changers.
