    I seriously hope we wouldn't try. He left us for nothing. Giving up assets to get him back screws us for a second time.

    Plus he's now 31 and no longer fits our window, or our team.

    This all true, but maybe they think they have too much youth and need one vet. But I agree with you, I don't think LMA would be happy there. Nor is he a leader for all the young players. Dallas might work but Carlisle can be tough to play for as well and who would they trade. Maybe to the Clips for Blake.....

    Who they would never in a million years give up for a 31-year old, self-centered, chemistry destroying, cry baby. It's not like mortgaging their future to get Aldridge would make them contenders in the West. At "best" it makes them a 7th or 8th seed, which means no more lottery picks to stock up talent for the future.

    PHO has drafted VERY well the last two years. The core of their team moving forward are all teenagers. They have a very bright future. Giving up any of that promising youth for a 31-year old makes no sense at all and would be a huge step in the wrong direction.

    If Aldridge goes anywhere, it has to be to a team in win now mode that is looking to get past the Warriors in the West, or the Cavs in the East (most likely). It may end up being a 3 or 4 team trade to get SAS what they want in return.

    They already have Tyson Chandler and Leandro Barbosa. That's all the veteran leadership they need. Those guys both have championship experience. Aldridge has never been past the second round.

    Again he hurt his thumb in the post season...probably blames Pops for making him play in the paint and bang on defense....Ainge, Riley, Jackson, Cuban and Rivers are going to go for him if he's on the trading block ....the Clips have Griffin and Boston has Horford, Knicks have Porzingas and change...Clips have the edge...Cuban has no pieces to trade

    Easy claim to make
    without any evidence
    to the contrary.

    Does that help us in any way? Or is it a wash either way.

    I actually like that for the Spurs. I would trade LMA for Russell & Ingram in a heartbeat.
