What is the max character limit for thread les?
Ha, it seems that loyalty, honour and reputation does translate into something tangible. Good to see the Spurs making good after a few botched FO transactions lately.

So then Aldridge actually did the Spurs a solid? No only by leaving but by not demanding much. Finally someone who doesn't completely screw this team over.
Spurs and Aldridge probably had an agreement set out that conditioned in his last year if things were not going as planned and a trade couldn't work that met certain conditions a buyout would be agreed upon. Aldridge still got a nice fat paycheck for his services this year and last year and now he is straight ring chasing for his legacy on his last legs of basketball. Might even see a retirement contingent on winning a trophy this year. I'm sure going through shoulder surgery, and a hip injury at this age and having to defend in today's NBA took their toll. Persistence by the Spurs front office seemed to have been rewarded with Aldridge in the end.
Nice work.
Minor nitpick: you mean $6.4M below the tax, not cap space, right? And the Spurs only had that much due to not using all of the MLE last offseason?
Yeah, good point. I'll fix. Thanks.
Yeah. If the Spurs had used the entire MLE, Aldridge's buyout would have brought them back down to right around the threshold.
The thread le is hilarious. Lmao
So can we like erase most of this thread and go back to where we were all giving handies to LMA's memory? As I said in another thread, the implications are immense for how it could affect the Spurs' potential roster moves.
He might've gotten tripped up because I've been using the term "salary space" to refer to room under the tax/Spurs budget in that rabbit hole of a thread.
7.25 million
Lol..."i was gonna go to miami, but brooklyn is probably gonna win the le so i went there"
Riley getting cucked by LMA and the Raptors and then not getting Dieng
tried to screw over the Spurs and instead screwed over himself
with LMA doing the spurs a favor with the buyout, i'm glad things worked out the way they did. especially him signing with nets instead of joining a team that was unwilling to work with us to trade for Aldridge. So i hope the Nets do make the finals.
Over/under on when the next edit will be?
Apparently there isn't one?
that tbh. I hope the Nets crash and burn only because their big three are the most annoying players in the league.
KD = softest, most pussy "superstar" in history, most anti-compe ive player of all time
Kyrie = giant , massive complex, huge narcissist's, speaks in parables and thinks the world is flat. burning sage before games? lmao. jackass all around
Harden = need i say more?
them tbh. only team i loathe more is Nephew's
the Lakers more tbh, but I agree with your sentiment.
Thank you, Aldridge.
Not my money and doesn’t change our NBA outlook as Spurs but easier to cheer him on now.
It kinda feels like there was a gentleman’s agreement going back to when they guaranteed his last contract year.
“Look, we’re gonna guarantee you; you’ll get ~16M by around the trade deadline which is more than you’d gotten in open market; if we keep you we keep you and you get the other 8M; if you want to be released for whatever reason the expectation is you give most of that 8M back”
Sounds like it could have gone down that way, but do you think Aldridge would have agreed to that beforehand? If so, I guess I give him props for doing the Spurs a solid.
LMA’s post game is a thing of beauty. The wet fart odor he left is gone. I hope he gets a ring despite the other bums on the Nets.
nice to know woj has an actual in the armor
