Aldridge deserves this thread... probably should be renamed.... "Haters Convention for LaMarcus "Diva" Aldridge"
Boban wasn't in Summer League at all last summer.
Did you call for him to be signed in 2013?

Why does that matter? This thread is about LMA suckage.
Those salary extremes are just par for the NBA course. You are just really lucky if you have any guys on your roster that you can underpay who are real NBA contributors. We have several, such as Boban/Simmons/West. $23 million for those three and Aldridge is a great deal!
That's your single issue.
Other people are able to discuss other things.
There are times when I agree with you but be realistic. Boban is fun to root for but he is no Aldridge. Right now the difference is comfort level. LA for some reason is being a little timid and gun shy whereas Boban is feeding off the fans and just having fun because he doesn't know how long all this will last.
My bad, I have been slow to pick up on this actually being a covert summer league thread. Probably because I tuned out as much of that discussion as I could, so I never caught the point of it.
"timid and gun shy"? Tell that to David West.
LMA is soft.
I recall when Kobe accused Howard of being soft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAzWwxcYvBU
I think you can make the same accusation about LMA.
My bad. It looked just like a drunk post.
Will you quit trying to change the subject of this thread.
This is about LMA's ineptness and not your ineptness.
lol single issue.
He's worth every penny.
D West is a different animal. The guy is a beast.
The difference between LA and Howard is the coach. Howard might be soft but I believe that Pop could have set him up for success. The same thing that he will do for LA. Utilize the talents he has and bring in a D West type to cover up his deficiences.
Well I think the jury is out on LMA, we may not really know until the playoffs. 6 points, 8 boards against Cleveland in 29 minutes, ugh.
Spurs can still win it all with LMA sucking. He's at least better than Splitter.
Oh well.... Lamarcus Aldridge decides to call in sick for tonight's game against the Lakers.
Probably he also isn't going to show up against GSW.

So, has Aldridge showed up yet against GSW?
No, he stayed in sa
They weren't getting anything in the paint with him in tbh. Basketball isn't just offense.

Ugh, all my fears on display in this game, tbh..
The big man Carmelo lived up to his reputation of never showing up in big games, unless he's being defended by Terrence Jones for the majority of a series
I can't believe the people that misconstrued my point in this thread, had the audacity to bump this after Aldridge had a couple of good games against terrible teams, etc..when I drop knowledge, it's usually accurate, it has been proven over and over again..
My concerns about the Spurs are 100% valid..they are better than I thought they would be, but the league is really weak, and relying on Parker/Ginobili to carry a huge load is fool's gold when you're playing against the only other compe ion in this year's league(Warriors, maybe Thunder)..
They need Aldridge to be a star in these games, something he has never done in his career, and he hasn't done it, so far..it's still early, I'll give him time, but I hope he realizes this isn't Portland, the games here actually matter..
Same here, I pointed it out as my #1 thing to watch out for in the other thread, especially with Tim out, and his body language throughout was Softridge, tbh...Ugh, all my fears on display in this game, tbh..

I still think he can be more productive with TD holding his hand, playing hi/lo, etc... we'll see
the bed tonight. Probably the only big takeaway from this game. He can't be giving Splitter production when we need him to do more.
but he played well vs. the Nets, guys!!!
My main disagreement was him getting blame for Green's inability to shoot.
He's definitely soft as though. Also his mid-range shot isn't good enough for us. He needs to hit those wide open shots like David West. He really needs to add easy scoring to his game. Scores that Baynes and Splitter would get in the offense.
He can't anchor the defense like Duncan can. Warriors didn't shoot the 3 well, but they had a wide open lane.
Also it is very distressing that he can't dominate Green. Spurs aren't going to win if they can't beat GS small ball.
