It'll probably be crap.... we can only hope there's enough picks attached to justify the crap sandwich...
Never mind wrong date. Oops.

I understand moving Aldridge bc he’s not a fit and he looks washed up on defense but DeRozan? Why are we looking to sell when we’re in the hunt for a top 5 seed and he’s a big reason why
It definitely makes it unlikely. But the Spurs usually are focused on the long term plan (the last few years being an odd exception), and I wonder if they know that DD either wants to go somewhere else, or they realize that DD is not in their longterm plans and they want to build the team around their young players and spend their money somewhere else?
Zach Lowe had reported on it too, so it's not like the rumors weren't out there already. We'll never really know how close it was, if at all, sadly.
I was trying to help the dude out and I even scrubbed this podcast and the one on 1/19 to see if I could find anything and nothing. Maybe someone wants to listen to the one on 1/19 which is like 30 minutes long.

I don't mind exstatic as a poster and he is one of the better ones around here.
If you follow me around, I have a major distaste for misinformation.
It's tough already to digest media around politics, we don't need to do the same with sports media.
Just like with political media, you should pull direct quotes instead of paraphrasing. All media is bias, therefore, you pull your information from both sides and come up with your own thoughts.
Here's an example:
"We were high on Wiseman. We had him No. 1 on our board," Myers told reporters. "... We got the guy we wanted."
There were questions about whether the Warriors would alter their approach after shooting guard Klay Thompson suffered a right leg injury during a workout earlier Wednesday. Myers admitted it made the front office think twice before moving forward with its original plans.
"Certainly the Klay thing made you think for a second, but it was just a short amount of time and we decided we're staying the course of what we always felt, but you have to take pause and think about things for a second," he said.

Why should these quotes be invalidated? They shouldn't.
If Steve Kerr did say something along those lines as exstatic suggests, it still does not invalidate what Myers says here.
The truth is always somewhere in the middle.
Bottom-line:
I'm not denying Aldridge-to-the-Warriors could have happened. I'm merely rejecting the idea which exstatic put forth that it was for sure happening ALL because he was careless with the information he gathered. You have to jump through a couple hoops to come up with his idea. It's irresponsible, and it annoys me.

Its insane that people cling to the idea that one of the smartest coaches in the league and one of the best front offices would want to trade JAMES ING WISEMAN for Aldridge.
Do you guys actually watch the ing sport?
it's not as simple as that. obv LMA looks washed right now but last year he was still solid and was looking like a decent stretch big. before the Klay injury they were clearly in win now mode. the trade would have allowed them to shed Wiggins' massive contract and save them a lot of money as well while they still would have also gotten a lotto pick in return. so while it seems like a terrible idea NOW to trade Wiseman for LMA, a couple months back and factoring in the other pieces, it somewhat made sense for GS
100% don’t expect the spurs to make a move, but they could upgrade if they wanted to imo I still feel like Orlando could be a good team to trade with
Aldridge, Lonnie, and a future 1st for Aaron Gordon, Mo Bamba, and filler or is that whoa crazy lmao

expiring contracts do have value. but the bad part is that one of the parties has to take on a longer, often bad, contract. what player fits that mold that the spurs would benefit from having? if someone just wanted derozan but was willing to take aldridge because of his expiring contract, that would be a lot of salary. i just don't know what player(s) are out there that have such matching contracts and are actually on the trading block.
This is said every year and nothing happens. The Spurs have been willingly trying to trade Aldridge for years. Nobody wants him.
They should have traded him the first time he asked for one, and if not then, it should have happened in the summer of 2018 when we traded Nephew.
And at the time Greek Freak had not reupped with Milwaukee.
Scammin State was all over that.
While on the exercise bike, I scrubbed through the one on 1/19, jumping ahead 15 seconds at a time. What I found? 20 minutes of discussing white basketball players with Afros. In the very last minute they bring up Wiseman, but mentioned absolutely nothing about Lamarcus Aldridge or any trade. I learned a little about Kelly Tripuka that I wish I hadn’t. Ha.
Definitely.
Nice storm instead of tradetalks
Weird timing on both. I'm totally fine with DDR sticking around. Trading LMA won't get much at all.
Zach Lowe is worthless. He just throwing crap out there then says he has no info what he says is correct. Worthless.
You've been waiting two years - for MORE -MEDIOCRITY?
ok thanks!
Willing to trade doesn't mean actively shopping, not sure what the fuss is about.
I don’t expect much. Actually Patty and Rudy are the 2 players who are the easiest to move. I also don’t see a lot of good trade targets. Collins probably costs too much, as well as Myles Turner. Other than that who’s young and would improve the team for the future?
Anyone else fear we run it back with Patty, DDR and Gay all back on market value 2-3 year deals and a cheap LMA replacement? Starting to see this as a realistic outcome.
