Who are they going to get from the Suns that will help them win now?

They didn't say but said Earl Watson was really close to Lamarcus from the Blazer days and Lamarcus likes him a lot....Earl might not make him play in the paint like Pop does...now that Tim is gone, Pop makes him play the 5 more than he wants to

To much of a bitch to take pops shit. Poor LaMarcus, Pipovich actually expects something out of him.

 

[riverman]

It's Kawhi's team....Lamarcus would be the alpha in Phoenix and he likes Chandler as a frontcourt mate

 

[Strenuus]

Jesus I've never heard about someone that needs to be coddled as much as him.

 

[julius]

Just read the Spurs are talking with the Suns about trading Lamarcus...said it wasn't working out in San Antonio for the dude....wasn't impacting the offense as much as expected...Parker and Ginobli want to win now and Aldridge is not a good fit according to the rumor

I don't buy that for a second. I don't doubt that you read it/heard it, I just doubt it's true. I would laugh mightily (and then would enjoy the Spurs again), but I just don't think it's remotely true.

He was on the block last year.

Not the first time we would have heard something along those lines though. Plus from what we know of the guy it sounds plausible. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it as a possibility.

 

[BonesJones]

I imagine TJ Warren as a 4 for them, maybe with Brandon Knight coming over as well.

What was posted? I must have whoever posted what you guys are responding to on ignore.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Smart move if true. Phoenix has a lot of excellent young talent. SA is not winning this year anyways. They could set their franchise up for the future if they get 2 good young players.

Lol why would you have @riverman on ignore?

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Lol why would you have @riverman on ignore?

Cuz he's a liar.

He clearly not a river, man.

welcome to the culture of alt rumors....and alt names! not all rivers are clear!

 

[blue9]

Same reason I have Kingspeed on ignore - there's no point in discussing things with people who can't think critically. If you want to buy into what the Blazers are selling hook, line, and sinker that's fine - I just don't have time for reading/discussing with you.

The only reason I buy it is because it IS LMA.

 

[Sarni]

Who are they going to get from the Suns that will help them win now?

They are coached by Popovich. They could probably take Tucker and Dudley and turn them into All-Stars.

 

[riverman]

I guess my lack of critical thought doesn't include being able to click ignore buttons....now everybody I've ignored has blue in their avatar...! Whoopie!!!

 

[riverman]

Stein said that's the reason Tyson Chandler wasn't traded..

 

[Sarni]

Chriss, Warren and a pick maybe, this years pick. I don't think Phoenix are dealing Booker but if so, this is a no brainer.

I don't agree with that assessment of him at all.

 

[riverman]

I think not winning a ring with the Spurs sans Duncan would crush Lamarcus...and so it should.

 

[blue9]

I don't agree with that assessment of him at all.

It took a while for me to get there, but after a while it was just too much. He's definitely not stupidly homered like KS, but after a while it was just too much homer for me to read.

 

[PDXFonz]

I think not winning a ring with the Spurs sans Duncan would crush Lamarcus...and so it should.

He's probably like "I thought I was coming here to get carried. Why didn't you tell me Duncan was going to retire so soon?"

 

[PDXFonz]

I don't agree with that assessment of him at all.

HEY WATCH IT BUDDY, YOU WANNA BE IGNORED TOO!?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Warren, Len, Bender, Chriss.......all could be an option.

 

[Sarni]

In a parallel universe, if Aldridge apologized for leaving and admitted it was a mistake, and Spurs told us they love Meyers so much they are willing to give us Aldridge and two picks for him, would you take him back?

 

[Sarni]

Warren, Len, Bender, Chriss.......all could be an option.

I don't think I've seen Bender play. Heard a lot about him being the new Porzingis but aside from both coming from Europe I don't know how similar they really are.

Len is meh.

Not sure if I buy that. Last year, with Aldridge the Spurs won 67 games, the most in franchise history. During the rest of the Duncan era, the most games they ever won during the regular season was 63 games - one time. Guess how any game they are on pace to win this year, with Aldridge, without Duncan. That's right 63.

Please note: for those prone to leaping to wild ass conclusions, I did not just say that LaMarcus Aldridge is as good as Tim Duncan. Just to be clear, he's not. He's not even their best player. That's Kawhii. All I'm saying is that the Spurs are winning (at a franchise record pace) with Aldridge. So, he must not be that much of a problem/disappointment.

Sure, they lost in the second round of the playoffs last year, but they lost several times in the first and second round during the Duncan era and never panicked. They just aren't a team that panics and blows things up. They are more of a team that makes minor tweaks to build around what they have.
