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

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Quick Update: Chris Broussard on SC just now said he's hearing this morning Spurs are still the favorites. Said Suns impressed LMA in yesterday's meeting, but that he doesn't think it's as close as some other do, and that SA is clear favorite. No new information here, but it just seems like everything is pointing our direction. Hope his "sources" are right.

CB has been on point this off-season, not going to lie. A redemptive period to say the least.

"Spurs are believed to be in a dead heat with the Phoenix Suns to win the Aldridge sweepstakes."

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

This is insane. Suns or Spurs? If there ever was a no-brainer..

"Spurs are believed to be in a dead heat with the Phoenix Suns to win the Aldridge sweepstakes."

Can't believe we'd be competing against an inept owner and organization.

[Ron Swanson]

If this guy picks Phoenix...

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

By the way, I'm young and wasn't around during the rivalry years but..

Suns fans are seriously some of the biggest heads I've seen.

[spursfan09]

The Suns? Are you kidding me? Really?

Parker had to have said something to screw us up a little

Phoenix fans cannot stand the Spurs. My sister lives in Phoenix and every time I go to visit, I am always rocking my Spurs gear. I love wearing the "Got Rings?" shirt. I get all kinds of comments about how the Spurs "cheated" and how the league "fixed" it for the Spurs to beat the Suns. The Spurs put an end to a great Suns era before it even began. Hence all the hate. It is almost like the way I felt about the Jazz back in the day.

Maybe phoenix does have a great plan for the future.

That is a possibility.

Rise from the ashes to achieve 8th place in the West...you can do that in Portland for more money and a better team!

They'll have to renounce that TE in order to create the cap space to sign Aldridge.

What the ?! Since when it's a role???

[BillMc]

What could the Suns possibly have done to even be close??????

Hire all of LMA's family to illegal contracts?

Extortion?

Sex acts illegal in conservative states???

What??

You do know that the PG sleeps with everyone's wife/girlfriend right?

If you'll rephrase your question into comprehensible English, I'll be happy to answer.

I remember going to both games we lost against them when they swept us. You'd think they'd get that silver and black stick out of their asses after pulling that off. The hate I see from them isn't healthy, doesn't help that most of them are probably racist.

I was thinking more along the lines of "Well after last season I don't think we're le contenders anymore" ala 2011

[Ron Swanson]

I won't lie... I woke up in the middle of the night and checked my phone for news.

[Texas_Ranger]

Aldridge should just ask Dragic how good of a organization the Suns are. They are gonna probaby sign 2 PF's as soon as he arrives.

[JR3]

Does anyone know when the last scheduled meeting is?

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Does anyone know when the last scheduled meeting is?

This afternoon with the Knicks.

That sweep was only consolation. Basically, the Suns were primed to be raped again, but the Spurs just got sick of trying to the same piece of ass again and couldn't get it up. Meanwhile, Phoenix was happy to escape cleanly this time. This is pretty funny though because now the Spurs have found a new way to the Suns. I feel bad for the Suns because now the Spurs have a new interesting way to rape again.
