Someone will take him. He's still a good player.

It would be a waste of time. Spurs will match.

Agree. Spurs match up until 10.5 per year IMO.

BWAHAHAHAH

People should actually read the article. It's even better

The Warriors tried to pry Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge as part of an offer that included Brandon Rush, league sources said. Portland has been engaging trade talks for Aldridge, but has pursued more robust offers than Golden State's proposal, sources said.

Golden State offered Lee in a package for Toronto's Andrea Bargnani, sources said, but the Raptors made a deal with the New York Knicks to shed the final two years, $22.5 million on Bargnani's contract.

Oh, and it's Woj, so you know it's true.

I don't think the Spurs will match 9 MIL a year. Problem is I don't want him for anything over 7 MIL.

I think Splitter/Leonard are a big part of their future. They're not going to let Splitter just walk away, especially not after they waited so damn long to get him here.

 

[RoyToy]

So GS tried trading Lee/Rush for Aldridge

Even the other teams in the league know Aldridge is a beast and better than their PF

The Aldridge haters on this forum continue to look bad.

Funny how they have to give up more for Aldridge, but Lee was snubbed repeatedly as an "all star" or some bullshit like that.

Ha ha.

Lmao really? I would never want lee over Aldridge.

I dunno, I don't think they would hesitate to let him walk. They'll probably replace him with some random scrub off the waiver wire that does the same thing for 1/10th of the cost.

Spurs do have some kind of crazy ability to do that.

I think a Spurs source guy said on twitter that they expected to pay up to 9-10m/year because centers are overpriced. I'm guessing anything more than that they laugh at.

 

[santeesioux]

Would adding Klay do anything for you guys to the Lee trade?

 

[magnifier661]

Spurs do have some kind of crazy ability to do that.

They also have an uncanny ability to make average players look like studs

 

[Natebishop3]

Would adding Klay do anything for you guys to the Lee trade?

No. I think you'd have to consider a Lee/Barnes deal though.

 

[magnifier661]

Fuck no. Lee has no post game to think of. He will be exposed

 

[Pinwheel1]

No. I think you'd have to consider a Lee/Barnes deal though.

Klay is a much hotter commodity than Barnes right now.

 

[Natebishop3]

Fuck no. Lee has no post game to think of. He will be exposed

He will be exposed? The dude is 30. I think everything about Lee has already been exposed

That's the biggest problem though. Lee is quite a bit older than Aldridge.

 

[B-Roy]

Lee is the perfect empty stats guy. It's no surprise the Warriors weren't actually worse even though he was basically injured for the playoffs.

 

[Natebishop3]

Really? I thought GS was pretty high on Barnes.

 

[magnifier661]

That's the biggest problem though. Lee is quite a bit older than Aldridge.

And he doesn't hold a candle to his talent.

I am sure they are, but everyone loves Klay Thompson.

 

[Natebishop3]

I am sure they are, but everyone loves Klay Thompson.

New sitcom coming to NBC this fall.

"Everybody Loves Klay"

 

[santeesioux]

I thought Lee was the same age as LMA, i didn't realize he was in his 30s. You'd definitely need more than just Klay then.

Yeah, I had no idea he was that old. No wonder they want to dump him.

 

[santeesioux]

So is all the news pretty much done for the night, then? I don't want to waste all night looking at twitter.
