I remember the year we had the #2 pick, and watched a Texas game when LA was playing, and I hoped we wouldn't take him. I didn't like his body language or the way he moved around. He just looked marshmellow soft to me. Then we took him so I gave him a chance, but he only played like a real PF for brief stretches in his career. He was considered a 3rd wheel during the Roy era, and the only difference between him then and now, is that he puts up more shots.
 
I predict that Portland will kill the Spurs when we face them this year.
 
You can have Lamarcus...in fact I think we owe you a couple of second round picks
 
Parker couldn't beat centers off the dribble this summer.

He's a shell.
 
The only good thing I can say about LA, is he a lot better than the other top 10 pics in his draft class (except for Roy). Jesus, what a horrendous draft class!

At some point, age has to catch up with that team. I know people have been saying it for like 10 years, but IT HAS TO COME TRUE AT SOME POINT!

Yes, in theory, but as long as they keep adding "younger" pieces to their core, they will continue to be successful. Kawhi Leonard will still only be 24 next year AFTER the NBA finals are over. I think people forget how young he is. And, in this case "younger" is relative. Compared to Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, Aldridge is actually young blood.

It does make you wonder if Lamarcus without Lopez is not very good. When Robin showed up, LMA's game improved dramatically. Maybe that was just temporary.

Duncan on one leg is better than Rolo.
 
LaMarcus had a +/- of -21 vs Sac. Worst on the team.

Yeah, no kidding - better at all aspects of the game, offense, defense, passing, scoring, and even at 50 years old, more mobile. I can't imagine Aldridge's game suffering by playing next to Tim Duncan.

I'm not going to miss his post game stutter, er interview this season that's for sure
 
how sad..Lamarsha highlights consist of three plays? Jeesh Patty Baseball had a better game
 
LA looked like a guy who left 30 mil on the table and a legacy to play for a coach who didn't show up for his first game

Because preseason highlights matter!

So, maybe we should start Connaughton at PF in the preseason finals, like Note Dame did against Kentucky in the NCAA tournament.

Yeah but how often will he be playing with Duncan? Tim probably will only play 20mpg and sit out a third of the season. They don't have a Joel Freeland or Kaman to help him bang with centers. I'm skeptical of him and David West as a defensive big man tandem. I think analysts are really underestimating how much effort we put into building the roster around LMA.

It'll be interesting to watch. If the Spurs have another year where they coast in the regular season, don't get HCA and lose in the first round there will be a lot of LaMarcus skeptics and rightly so. With the Clippers, Warriors, Thunder, Rockets I wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Spurs have that happen.
