Frankly, if Aldridge is dumb enough to jump on the sinking Lakers ship and join forces with the corpse of Kobe Bryant, we don't want him here. If he is really looking for an opportunity to win, that ain't it.
The second point is really key. A 30 yr old player can see a franchise monitoring his minutes is very attractive.

If he's rumoured to L.A. That's probably a smokescreen. Probably just a warning to Dallas to up their game. L.A. Should be done with tanking but with so many young players, Kobe, and no offensive system or direction, you'd be wasting a few years of your prime. LA would be better off getting a veteran for cheap. Someone who can counterbalance kobe.
I will only hate myself because I once again believed a big FA would join the Spurs ...
I have no problem with LMA not joining the Spurs but I do have a problem with the spurs making moves such as trading Splitter because they think they are going to get him. This is very risky to do so because LMA doesn't join up than the Spurs have been seriously burned.
This. I do think some players would play with Kobe but signing a near 30 year old for the max only makes sense for a window closing team like spurs not a rebuild like the Lakers.there's no decent player in the NBA that will voluntarily play with Kobe, let alone Kobe and Cousins, tbh..
Lakers signing Aldridge would be really stupid on their part, though..they aren't anywhere near contending, not sure why they would sign a 30-year old to a max deal..
The Spurs won't do anything like trade Splitter if they didn't know the next step was in the bag.
I refuse to get my hopes up. I'll believe it when he's in a Spurs jersey.
I'll believe it when I see it
Got the lube ready nigs
it will be funny when this becomes a Pau Gasol or Kirilenko type of thread.
F*ck, we still have to wait till July 1 right?
If the Spurs get the OKC 14th pick without moving splitter (e.g., sending mills or cojo), could it be for Portland in a sign and trade involving splitter?
Cant move cojo yet but mills yes. Still not enough money if that's the case
Sad that it's gonna cost us Tiago most likely. Losing Tiago+adding LMA is not a huge net gain by any means.
WTF you talking about? Tiago can't even play 15 games without injuring his ing pussy.
Realistically, with Duncan gone in probably a year, and, if Danny leaves, there's really no huge opportunity to win in SA either.
Kawhi is still an unknown as to whether he can consistently take his game to the next level, and Tony looks finished and likely will be if he has another sub-par season in 2016.
Although obviously no Duncan (who is a once in a generation type of talent), I believe Aldridge gives the Spurs the talent level they would need to continue to compete even after Tim leaves as long the Spurs can put the right pieces around him. They have consistently shown the ability to do that in the past 1.5 decades, so I don't see the situation being as dire as you think.
Posters act like playing in LA is a deterrent because of Kobe. Kobe has already said this will be his last season in purple and gold.
2014 says hi
