    And Kenny Smith says he's the most underated all star in the NBA. Shaq says he's the best big man in the NBA playing right now. You guys agree?

    "LeMarcas Aldridge"

    It's like you try to misspell because you know how much we love it.

    Thank you!

    So basically they're saying all of the things they couldn't bring themselves to say about him when he was in a Blazers uniform.
    Typical biased bullshit from the NBA talking heads. . .

    I don't know if LayMarkus is the most underrated player in the game, nor do I know if LeMarquios is the most underpaid player in the game. But what I do know is that LaMartin Aldrich might be the softest player named LaToya Jackson in the history of the game.

    It will be interesting to see what blue9 has to say about this as he probably criticized his play more than anyone in this forum.

    Somebody should tell Sly that the BGD bot is not working like it should.

    Exactly! Yes we did not get anything in return for him, but when you have a player that good, you roll the dice to the bitter end if you think you have a chance of resigning him. You don't IMO trade him a year or two early because he might bail on you. I get the other side of the debate......but I still think the practical move for the franchise was to keep trying to resign him. The only exception was if you got a guaranteed star in return. And a draft pick in a sub par draft is not a guarantee.

    I remember when these same guys used to say Kevin Love was the best PF in the league, so I take it with a few grains of salt.

    Also, Curry is probably the most underpaid. And no matter how much LeBron is making, he will be underpaid.

    The last time LaMarcus has games like this was in the Houston series, and he was highly praised for those performances. But they're fools gold, because they only happen once in a great while. Counterbalance this to his performance last year vs Memphis, where he couldn't hit shit and moped around the floor like 55 year old.

    When it comes to skill - I do believe LMA is the best big in the league. He has so many tools at his disposal - and has worked hard to develop them. There is a reason Ibaka, Adams and whoever else OKC sends his way can not stop him. He really is a very good low-post player that can also hit the mid-range jumper. This is really not a huge surprise for anyone that actually watched him during his years here.

    He seems to be more determined to play in the low-post in this series than usual - I am not sure if this is a Pop / Duncan thing or temporary - but when he is willing to mix it as much as he does now in the post with his usual mid-range and occasional 3 pointer - he is a real bear to deal with.

    I personally still am a fan - loved him here, love what he does in San Antonio.
