Really curious to see what kind of deals are out there lol as much as LMA maybe be a liability at this point in his career, I think honestly can still hold his own against elite bigs. Plus there not many players being made available right now it seems
Are people forgetting that LMA requested a trade a few years back because Pop was "overcoaching"? Dude has always been a me first player, an even bigger ego than Kawhi imo. I've never felt that he truly bought into the Spurs and regretted his decision to ever come here. LMA tbh. One of the worst signings in SA history, I've said it since day 1. I'm glad he's getting the out.
Right. He still does well in post-oriented games where he doesn't have to range out laterally. He still gives Anthony Davis problems, for example. I think many contenders could use him and I'd put him above Drummond and Griffin, those types, in terms of who is available. Like, no doubt the Nets would take him over Blake Griffin. Question is the price.
I really don't think this was him being cancerous. I honestly think the Spurs just didnt want him anymore--even as the back-up 5. He's been that bad. It needed to happen but it's still bittersweet to see him go. Despite all the winning over the years he's the only big name FA to sign here. He also held us when Nephew broke our hearts.
Eubanks wont get it done though. They either need to throw Samanic out there or try to get a back-up center in a trade package.
lol nah man
LA is super washed. His defense is bottom of the barrel bad.
This needed to happen but if Leonard weren't such a piece of excuse for a human being, LMA's Spurs tenure would've ended up with at least one ring.
What what, did they buy him out or seeking trade partners
The next question is who infiltrated the Spurs front office to make suck n obvious move???
Derozan extension comin soon
You had that locked and loaded and didn't read what I said, did you?
All the teams that missed out on washed up Blake Griffin will come calling. Aldridge is better than Griffin. Honestly, the celtics make the best sense. They have a trade exception and lots of picks
Nobody would take this washed up version of him over Griffin or Drummomd. He's not even a consistent offensive threat anymore.
He had every right to request a trade when he did considering Pop originally promised him that he would still get his 20 points per a game with the Spurs. I remember reading about this when LMA signed with the Spurs that he was concerned his offense would go down but Pop promised him he would still be able to get 20 or more. Pop broke that promise. Can't get angry at LMA for wanting out. That's all on Pop for not being honest
Secondly Kawhi has a much bigger ego than Lamarcus. His ego is on the same level as Lebron,Durant,Harden. Just look at the antics he put the clippers through last year such as showing up regularly late to the team flight and delaying take off by 30 minutes to an hour. Kawhi plays games with every team he is on. Say what you will about Lamarcus he doesn't play games.
Thirdly you just hate Lamarcus. He was your target from day one. You were going to hate him regardless of what he did. He could have averaged Wilt Chamberlain numbers and you would have still hated him. Anything short of him getting the Spurs a championship would have gotten your ire. You are just a hater.

Everybody on the planet would take LMA over Griffin or Drummond.
He was actually good for 4 years. He played at a high level from '15-'19. His season from '17-'19 was him at his peak. So it wasn't a bad signing at all. It was actually a great signing. Spurs would have won at least 1 le in that 4 year span if Kawhi didn't go crazy and quit on the team.
Wherever he goes, he can't expect to get his touches, tbh.
All the teams interested in Nikola vuciveic should theoretically be interested in LMA at a discounted price lol
That's what I said before. Leonard is to blame for all of this.
Spur fans perceptions of stars are distorted because they lucked out in having 3 ego less stars in David,Tim,Manu who were egoless and willing to sacrifice stats at all costs to win. Manu especially was ego less with him willing to come off the bench to help the team win. Very few guys can do that without their pride being hurt and broken. I look at a guy like Dwade who probably could have played a few more years but gave it up when he realized he was a bench player. A lot of these guys are stars because of their big egos. It's hard to shut that ego off.
Finally! Now get rid of DDR and Rudy.
terrible take, derozan is the reason we’re not the kings or the hawks right now. Rudy isn’t worth to other teams. You think they don’t see that his feet are set in stone??
If only we could package Mills with LMA...
It’s too bad our biggest free agent signing didn’t work out.
Hopefully we’ll get another so we can compete.
Part of me wonders if he’ll get traded to a non playoff team, get bought out, and then join the Nets. Seems like the easiest way to get a ring to all the players who were able to do it on their own.
Agreed the Spurs got the final 4 years of his prime. He played at a high level from '15-'19. I do feel bad for him considering he signed with the Spurs in hopes of getting a le. I do believe it would have happened if Kawhi didn't become a traitor. It just goes to show you how in life a little luck can be the difference between failure and success.
Blake Griffin was always just a highlight Dunk
That's it! Once the knee injuries added up- he is a s of himself. He never had a great jump shot or played defense. LMA always had a smooth jumper and expanded out to the 3pt line. Griffin has been MIA for the last 3 years. Contenders in need of a shooting Big man should be eager to get LMA, ....Celtics and Raptors!
