Aldridge is weak

[Natebishop3]

They're calling him LaMarcus Garb-idge over on Reddit. I love it

Pops uses kid gloves on Aldridge because he knows he's got a fragile ego.

Aldridge will be gone this offseason. His demeanor and approach to the game doesn't jive with Pops. Without a doubt he'll be traded.

I could see a team like the Clips taking him if Griffin bails.

Clippers have nothing to offer back and Spurs will at least want something. Indiana with their #17 pick to appease George before his final season and maybe get a little more competitive to make him stay, or Chicago with thar #16 pick as a I think they have liked him for a long time and he would fit in age wise would be good destinations. Knowing Spurs, whoever they would get with that mid-first round pick, they would become All-Star within 3 years.

I hope he gets traded to the Kings or Suns for a future 2nd round pick and loses his starting job...

 

[Blazinaway]

its interesting that guys like LMA and Horford who were 30ish and got big contracts just aren't IMO living up to them, I like Milsap a lot but anyone who pays him big dollars at 32 is IMO going to regret it

I could see the Spurs trading LA to the Suns for Bledsoe and Bender

That's possible if Suns end up drafting a point guard (Fox) but I don't think they will offer Bender. He's still very young and has potential, Bledsoe alone would be a fair offer.

Bledsoe's injury history isn't enough to land LA straight across, Phoenix would have to sweeten the pot. They have enough young players to do so though.

LA will get traded to Ind for PG (Sarg is the coach) and Spurs will trade him to Portland for our whole team/picks, except for our big three.

LMFAO!

I remember his early days when he ran down and posted up against Duncan with some fire. I was like "yeah, this guy is going to be awesome"

Then 20 foot turnaround jumpshots became his thing and the rest is history.

Dafuq?

That's not the Aldridge I remember. I remember a soft skinny "big" who had absolutely NO back to the basket (BTTB) game to speak of in his first 3 or so seasons. He did work hard on his body and his BTTB but was STILL SOFT and not able to hold low post position. That's why the fade away is his go to move. Before Pop he had no left hand to speak of. Ever. He still RARELY gets to the bucket on high post face up drives because he still sucks at dribbling.

Exactly my point. I saw a game on National tv maybe his rookie year and he got mad and posted Duncan up a few times. I was like "this guy is gooooooood"

Never saw that guy again

Yeah I just don't ever recall him posting up Duncan.

I tried to find it on youtube. Might as well have been looking for bigfoot riding a unicorn.

Less fake than an Aldridge post video.

This is kinda sad. I've never disliked Aldridge, it's a shame how far he's fallen:

 

[BBert]

Aldridge would be OK coming off our bench, I guess. But his contract is just too big.

SpursTalk is quite entertaining right now.

They are literally saying what I said back in 2013:

"Since then he's primarily a jumpshooter. He'll get the ball down low and it's one of two things: fadeaway or face up that usually turns into a fadeaway. He's not assertive and doesn't attack the hoop nearly enough." - Fez

Remember how smug Pop was when they signed LA?

 

[BlazerWookee]

"Best fans in the NBA," lol...

 

[BonesJones]

I bet the Spurs trade him someplace like Miami for the 14th pick, draft a future all-star, then sign Chris Paul. SMH.

Bringing in Chris Paul won't win them shit at this point. It's time for a rebuild around Kawhi. They need to jettison most of their aging vets and try to bring in some young talent around him. The guy is only 25.

I remember when they signed Aldridge the talk was how Pop was going to get the most out of Aldridge and make him play an optimal brand of basketball...

Nope, he is still the same player he always was. He has the occasionally ability to pop off but for the most part he's an inefficient volume score that is in love with fadeaways and midrange jump shots. Looks like Stotts got more out of Aldridge than Pop.
