    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!

    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.

    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...........

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

    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.

    I'd MUCH rather he go to the Lakers. The ONLY shot he has at ever winning a title is by teaming up with Pops/Duncan and learning how to be a PF.
    If he went to the Lakers they'd never win anything, and I'd get to bask in the schadenfreude of LMA being a loser on the Lakers!

    It ain't over til it's over, but I'd be surprised if that Tiago trade wasn't the final nail in the coffin for us :(

    Their comeuppance is on the way. Duncan has maybe a year or two left. Parker showed significant signs of aging last year, and Manu has been a shell of himself for a while. Adding LA isn't enough to keep that team relevant once Duncan retires.

    We can still offer Legacy + Most money. Plus we have the room to add better talent than San Antonio can.


    San Antonio just has their system. Great GM, great coach, great role players. They have a great recent history.

    I still think (and hope) Aldridge chooses Portland when its all said and done. Olshey can sell anything.
