Exclusive The official Lamarcus Aldridge free agency thread

Hes gone... Splitter to the hawks

 

[TBpup]

There is the next shoe to drop.

Hes gone... Splitter to the hawks

Damn it! For what? They don't have a lot of cap room. They would have to lose Millsap or Carroll.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I know you mostly focus on our cap but you should look at theirs. No way they should be able to afford LMA now without moving someone like Splitter. http://www.sbnation.com/2015/6/30/8...alary-cap-lamarcus-aldridge-free-agent-rumors

If they're going to the mattresses for LMA, there's plenty of teams you could dump 7-10M on for a couple of picks. They have to hit the salary min, also. And Splitter is no Brendan Haywood...he's still quite useful. MIL, PHI, maybe ATL if they think they're losing Millsap...

It would seem Millsap might be gone.

fuuuuuuuc

 

[julius]

Well, that doesn't bode well.

Yep. And they just did it. Splitter traded... Not looking good at all.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Thanks for the 9 years bro! Fact is, you would have been 35 at the end of your contract and it was probably time to move on. I've come around to the idea of you leaving, and now its happened. Peace!

P.S. Don't win too many championships

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Technically Spurs haven't met with LMA yet. But now they go into meeting with space according to Woj.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Not over until its over.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

He hasn't even met with the Spurs yet.... Not looking good but not over.

 

[TBpup]

Coach Bud has history with Splitter. Nice replacement for Millsap...Horford moves to PF.

 

[Boise Blazer]

 

[BrianFromWA]

You know, RC Buford's pretty good, also.

 

[TBpup]

Win title this year because after that, the run in SA is over.

 

[ThugginPaulyGAllen]

The Hawks supposedly matched the offer of Millsap 80 mill.. as in its up to Millsap to choose

He likes ATL from all reports. Hope he stays there vs going to ORL.

 

[ChadWick]

Splitter traded to Hawks just now.

LMA gone no doubt

Well fuck me with a chainsaw

what the hell are you talking about...it hasn't happened

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Splitter to the Hawks actually makes me happy - I'd much rather LA goes to SA than to the Lakers. See - there are some advantages to giving up early on getting Aldridge back!

 

[magnifier661]

Wow Spurs know they are front runners for Aldridge

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

What the fuck did you expect, to make a FA meeting rolling Mob Deep with their biggest hitters and NOT make all of the moves to be able to sign LaMarcus? They just cleared their capspace at a moment's notice for when it was useful.

Can't believe people are shocked at this. Man the fuck up, son.

 

[PDXFonz]

Somebody delete this bullshit thread.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Well we all knew that it would be easy for them to unload Splitter for cap space. His salary was very reasonable for his defensive ability. Although he is one dimension so I am sure there are a few people who don't like him...........

 

[Blazer Freak]

Well fuck me with a chainsaw

It's all part of Olshey and LA's master plan! Now when LA comes back they will be without Splitter!

 

[Natebishop3]

If he has to go, I'd prefer the Spurs..... but still...... fuck that guy.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

No shit, what kind of defeatist attitude is this.

Remember, Houston did the same thing for Bosh unloading Lin to the Lakers and he still went back to Miami. Not looking good but I am not stressing yet.
