Oh and btw, Lopez tweeted how excited he is to play for the Knicks. Not a single mention about us fans.

We are getting hosed

Yeah what the fuck. He better be working a Splitteresk farewell goddamnit. And he changed his background to orange already.

He officially out of the Goonies.

I have some faith in Wes at least.....
 
Wait so why is everyone so depressed? Because pictures got leaked of his meeting with the Spurs. It's not official until it's announced.

Everyone has been depressed for days. The pictures are just a salt bath.

Because Popovich looks in a good mood
 
I'm just surprised the Suns made it over us. That's a what the fuck in itself and a sure sign he definitely doesn't like it here.
 
Hmmm. I wonder if he signs with the Spurs, Olshey doesn't file a grievance with the league for tampering (because of Tim Duncan).

He said theyre the front runners. It looks like a headline lacking much detail. I'm not saying he's not leaving but it's still not clear.

Solidified themselves as "front runners". No mention of Blazers. It's time we moved on
 
Woj was also the guy who said it was between the Blazers and the Spurs a couple of days ago. It seems like he's been speculating a ton at this point. Which I'm dissapointed in because he was known as the more credible source.
 
Aldridge is a dip shit in my estimation to leave, no one can guarantee him a trophy, he isn't Lebron. Look at Dwight and all his trophy chasing and where he is. Only guarantee he had was stay a blazer and have your jersey in the rafters. Legacy should trump all if he has watched recent history. the spurs arent't retiring 12 for him.

He might realize that as he's evaluating his options. That and the extra $27 million.

Don't feel too bad. I'd say over 98% of players are really only giving lip service when they talk about how much they appreciate the fans. It's big business and we're just the wallpaper.

Maybe a ring means more to him than a bit of fabric hanging in a gym somewhere? If he goes to the Spurs I'd say his odds of winning a title in the next couple of years are pretty good. There's no guarantees in anything, but his chances here were pretty much 0% after Wesley went down this year.

So not a dipshit at all; I'd say he's being a highly rational actor on his own behalf. Blame management for not surrounding him with a better team over the last 9 years.

That's true. And look how many of them were treated poorly around the league that stay loyal and we say "It's just business?" I tweeted this and used Blake as an example

I actually think he'd have a much better chance to win a ring if he went to Houston. Their biggest weakness is PF.
 
The Spurs are solid, but not a lock for anything with the clock running fast on Timmy, Manu and Parker. This is a two year window so I assume of he signs there, he'll opt out in year 3.

Nik, do you really think we haven't tried? We've been absolutely snakebit by injuries. Roy, GO, everyone this year. You can say a lot of things about management, but you can't say we didn't put a competitive team around LA.
