    Where's Neil? Is it true that Aldridge already told Por, no?

    "Marc J. SpearsVerified account‏@SpearsNBAYahoo
    Spurs coach Gregg Popovic, forward Tim Duncan & guard Tony Parker expected to attend LaMarcus Aldridge meeting, a source told Yahoo Sports."

    I find it tough to believe LA can turn down that level of recruitment.

    If Olshey has a plan to get a needle mover, he'll probably be busy meeting with that guy while LA says no thanks to the Lakers..

    Awesome! LMA was tired of Batum, Parker's French accent will only piss him off.

    the chances that old guys get injured is even higher on the Spurs roster, just what he wants!

    I see no reason for Neil to play the game with LMA if he is actually talking to him twice a week. Showing up on day one seems too fake. I would prefer that he talks to him last. If indeed LMA talks to several teams.

    Its going to be so much fun when after EVERY meeting there will be multiple "sources" that tell us that LMA is leaning towards that team after said meeting. I honestly don't know where he goes and wont' believe he is going to any team unless its reported by WoJ or Olshey comes out and says it himself.

    Olshey probably said for LMA to go on his wine and dine tour and to hit him up when it was over with to discuss what he liked and how that compared to Por.

    I want to be the LAST team to talk to LMA not the first. By the time LMA leaves that meeting Olshey will have him signed and somehow gotten LMAs LA home out of the deal as well.

    So just curious, if we traded Lamarcus for Kevin Love would he be announced as the Love Train?

    In fairness, LA and LA live in the same town..logistically it's convenient to get it over so they can sign somebody else after the rejection
