Would you trade LMA for DeAndre Jordan, straight up?

[Walter Donovan]

Considering the inevitable implosion of lob city, should the Spurs take advantage pursue this option if it works?

[Mr. Body]

No.

[TimDunkem]

No. Blake, yes.

[spurraider21]

if LMA is going to become like Odom after the lakers botched trade, then absolutely

[Chinook]

If they took Tony as well? Maybe.

[SPURt]

Didn't LMA do that in the playoffs already?

[FkLA]

How many years does he have left? Like 2? It's a big yes either way though. I can't believe people could stomach another year of LMGay.

[spurraider21]

kinda but not quite imo

[Spurs9]

Yes, thats probably the best thing we could get for LMA at this point.

[Mal]

Yes, if reports about LMA are true, go and do it.

Odom could still back Harden down in the post. Even today.

If they took Tony as well? Maybe.

What would the cap situation look like if they did something like that??

I'm not the biggest fan of Jordan but Kawhi on the wing and Jordan in the paint would make the Spurs the best defensive team in the league by a mile..

[cd98]

No. LMA, flaws and all, has a game that translates. 7 ft centers that can't shoot have no future in this league.

Only if Gasol s off to Minnesota or something. Can't say I'd be excited about watching Jordan shoot 35% from the line for a season though.

Not true lol...

If you're the best shot blocker/rebounder in the league you'll have a starting spot somewhere

[BatManu20]

No. As much as LMA is pissing me off, he's still a much better player than DJ, who is literally useless offensively unless it's a lob.

[baseline bum]

I take it back, I don't want Jordan. The Spurs have no hope of beating Golden State in the next couple of years so I could care less about his defense and rebounding when Jordan's FT shooting would make Spurs games unwatchable.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

bottom line is whatever happens with LMA, the Spurs will lose some overall value - there's no hiding how bad he was in the post season and other teams have smelled the blood already. So if you are set to lose some value might as well just trade straight up for whatever you can get that you know will have more balls and close talent

yes but I refuse to believe the Spurs need to lay two eggs in a row because of this and waste Kawhi

[FkLA]

I don't get the Jordan hate. Elite rebounder, rim protector, and lob threat. He also isn't a complete stiff defending the pick and roll like our current bigmen. That's much more valuable than having a post game, imo.

[Laughing Gravy]

You guys are forgetting the only man that can make him unstoppable....Chip Engellend...

And if you watch the State Farm commercials he IS working on his FT's.

[BD24]

Absolutely not

[AFBlue]

Good God, yes. With Kawhi locking down the perimeter and DeAndre locking down the paint, there's no doubt we'd be the best defensive team in the league.
