Marc Stein: Spurs are #1 on LaMarcus Aldridge's list

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

76er's in win-now mode.

[Marcus Bryant]

So when's the 'rose ceremony'?

[Mr. Body]

If LMA goes to Phoenix can we menage a 3 way trade? of splitter to Atlanta, Morris tweens and pj tucker to the Spurs, cap space to Suns, it will be nice get for us...

Any three-way Aldridge is involved in has to include Tyson Chandler.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We aren't trading Splitter if we don't have one of Aldridge or Monroe coming, we'll pull that off the table. Think guys.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Sauce Castillo on the move to Philly as well.

[BillMc]

Another round of meetings? Pop is probably going to tell him to "go yourself".

Yeah, Pop doesn't seem like a "second meeting" guy. He's liable to conclude that LaMarcus needs to get over himself.

[Sean Cagney]

I doubt they do that. They will trade him still.

So what would be plan C ?

[Sean Cagney]

So what would be plan C ?

Good question but that would really be a loss and I hope we don't find out.

[BillMc]

So what would be plan C ?

Quick, set up a meeting with DeAndre Jordan. Biggest Spurs selling point? Pop can't foul him if he's on his own team.

[Robz4000]

So what would be plan C ?

Tim retires, Tony is traded, and the Spurs tank the season for next year's FA class.

We've gotta root for Brett's team to be Spurs East II, tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

bet you he regrets that kind of thinking

time out

[BillMc]

time out

[SpurPadre]

Even if this dude ultimately picks us, I'll still be annoyed he made the team and the fans sweat this much and seriously had a hard time between us and the Suns.

I wouldn't be annoyed. Free agency only began 23 hours ago (although it sure as seems longer lol). He will make a decision soon enough.

I'm not really too pleased with LaMarcus meeting this many teams. I understand about taking a little bit of time to make a decision, but surely you'd have a shortlist of teams that you will legitimately play for? I don't understand why he's wasting his time or other team's time meeting so many teams, especially teams like the Knicks and Raptors that I would say he has no intention of playing for. I would even throw the Lakers on that list.

And now he wants a second meeting? Not sure how Pop would react to that. Also, if this guy is that much of a pussy and is scared to even play one minute at center (hence the reason for him looking at Phoenix as they now have Tyson Chandler as their new full-time center), I don't know if I even want him. Surely, if needed, he can play a few minutes at center each game? Maybe the Spurs can look into getting Robin Lopez as a backup center just so LaMarcus doesn't have to play any center, but that is ridiculous if you ask me. If you want to win the Championship, and especially with the way the league is going now, you're going to have to play a bit of small ball, and LaMarcus would be the center in those lineups.

..except every team in the league would do it, against the Spurs. ..

Pop and Becki would make sure he made 70% of his FT's minimum.

Just play along and nod your head. You're planning your next 2-7 years here. You listen to anyone who's willing to give you the time of day...and then on them like the Lakers.
