It would be my hope, that if the Spurs thought LaMarshmallow was heading toward the L*kers (I don't type profanities), they would just let him sit the entire year. Talk about a buyout this summer. My assumption is they hate the L*kers as much as we do.

No need for a buyout this summer. LA is a free agent.

Thanks for the correction. I thought he had a year left.

Still your idea is sound. Doesn't really make sense to buy him out and watch him go to a team in the same conference.

depends on what kind of an agreement was reached between Aldridge and the Spurs. It seems to have been pretty amicable. My guess is that the Spurs agreed to try and find a trade for Aldridge and if none materialized, they'd buy him out after the deadline. And Aldridge could have agreed to cut a million or two off his salary in the buyout

I'm guessing this is more of a result of him being a net-negative.

Wow - LA gave up a LOT!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Does any contender have room to pay him more than the minimum?

 

[tester551]

Wow - LA gave up a LOT!

Good for the Spurs. Make it a win-win.

Holy shit that's a ton.

 

[Hoopguru]

Holy shit that's a ton.

The price he's paying to go to South Beach! Otherwise he's at SA's mercy. Its only money and there are more important things than money....

 

[Hoopguru]

LA wants to be the next Haslem!

Have you guys watched him play this year? He sucks.

So did Blake Griffin until he put on a Nets Jersey.

 

[illmatic99]

Phew

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Phew

And I agree no role except limited minutes off bench. If he accepted that role would be great but he won’t so see ya

and that 5 points per game he's averaging in the 2 games he's played for the Nets has changed that....how?

against the Blazers.

I don't think the Nets were hurting for scoring. It's more the +21 in 34 minutes.

 

[AldoTrapani]

That’s too bad LMA isn’t coming back. Nurkic sucks. Never healthy and completely unreliable.

I doubt he makes it to the end of the season without another injury..

Nate beat me to it "But he Dunked!"

 

[Duckhook]

Don't be shocked if he ends up in Brooklyn... with Miami a distant chance. It's the Nets fellas. He’s ring chasing

Bumping because, well, I knew 17 days ago...

 

[MadeFromDust]

Really starting to despise the Nets.

 

[DDolla]

Haha told you guys, all buyout players will sign with the Nets

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Nets just became my most hated team..I got nothin against Lma but that’s just too much. Fuck them

 

[PHXBlazer1]

This buyout and sign for the minimum bullshit should be regulated if it’s just gonna be former all stars ring chasing every year..it’s anti-competition

 

[DDolla]

Jason Quick - “LMA will not sign with the Blazers because of a lesser role”. Then he signed with the Nets lol

 

[Jon]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

FUCK LA.

 

[e_blazer]

Just that much sweeter when the Blazers take them out in the finals.
