Mavericks, Not Spurs, Could Be the Texas Team to Lure LaMarcus Aldridge Away

"Time for a change." I like the sound of that.

 

It blows my mind that some of you would love our best player gone. But if someone talks about role players like batum or kaman leaving, then those are fighting words.

 

I must admit it was a pretty good article. All speculation, but none the less pretty well written.
I have had similar thoughts as the following:

"But they also know that feelings stirred up by events during the season—Aldridge's included—have a way of dissipating with time and distance.

"They are all determined to go elsewhere, until they do or don't," said one league executive. "It always changes in July, when (the conversation) goes from the subjective to the objective."

 

I'm loving this. EVERYTEAM seems to think they are going to be the one to lure LMA away and there are a 100 reasons for him to go to a different team, nevermind the 100 reasons he has to stay. I can honestly say that i'v never seen a FA who seems so get able but hasn't made it obvious he wants to leave his current team. I have no clue where he is going and neither does anyone else in the media and all I want is for him to make the decision in the first few days, don't string us along like Carmelo did to NYK.

 

Yeah unless he has a clear cut favorite in his mind right now to switch to, then I like our odds. The more teams pitching him is not that bad. In the end if none of them are head and shoulders above the rest, he might as well stay.

 

I'm not 100% sold he stays but I also think he comes back and hears Neil's speech and plan after everyone else. Who gets the last word imo matters a lot in FA.

Honestly I wish we traded this dude. Not to say he's weak or anything bc he's actually quite good. I just think this guy never really intended FULLY to sign here unless stars aligning type of chance. I wish we got something for him like Minnesota was able to get for Love.

LMA just never seemed fully on board. How do you go from I'm resigning next summer don't worry about it to ahhhhh nevermind?? It's not like we were fully healthy and had an epic collapse. I just don't see the type of loyalty that say Lillard gives the city of Portland..

I wish we traded LMA I just have this feeling he's going to screw the hell out of us..

 

I stopped reading right there.

 

Not on board huh? You are aware about him playing through a pretty bad injury right?

 

That's overblown. He doesn't loose anything regardless if he came back or not. Obviously it didn't affect his play right? So what did it hurt him in the long run.

All I'm saying is we should have traded this guy. I have not read one article indicating this guy had an indication he was resigning.

LMA is out and your blind if you can't tell. We just lost him for nothing..

 

Bleacher report lol

 

"Honestly," lol...

 

Jesus dude... You'd be complaining like a lil' bitch if you tore a ligament in your hand. Let alone play playoff NBA basketball....

 

I'm not fully on board but I'll sure play through this injury... You do remember when he re-signed with us before right? Not saying he will now but to say "not fully on board" just doesn't make sense at all....

 

Troll troll troll your boat gently down the stream.

 

I think it's safe to say we have him for at least one year. No way he leaves all that money on the table

 

He resigned with us last time because he had no choice. He was restricted.

I don't know what's wrong with saying that I wish we traded him because he's not going to resign here.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with winning or losing. My biggest fear all along was that he wanted to be closer to his mom, and for that reason I have always considered Dallas our biggest threat.
