[ArbitraryWater]

What time do you think this will be announced by him?

[Proctor]

:yaohappy:

Any hour now

[BurningHammer]

Congrats Spurs.

Now Timmy can retire in peace. :applause:

[Derka]

I love the guy on that feed saying "LMA TO THE KNICKS"

:roll: :roll:

[r15mohd]

SPurs are a lock for the Finals...damn, crazy moves to make it happen

It's about to get real up in San Antonio

First round exit at best

LOL.

[PP34Deuce]

Spurs still need a legit back up option for Tony Parker. I believe Parkers game will suffer more as he's always been fast and not really explosive.

Aldridge is a 25-10 player with decent defense next TD. I believe they move Duncan to the 5.

[GIF REACTION]

One of the most versatile teams in the league will get that much more versatile ...

what's their cap looking like in signing some bottom feeding ball handlers? and what's up with Patty Patty Patty?

[GIF REACTION]

Don't think it would be possible but Prigioni is the type of guy Spurs need to back up Tony

[Fudge]

ITS OFFICIAL! LMA TO THE SPURS! Wow.

isnt he locked in with the Rockets? and that would be ideal now that I think of it

so when does the "stacked" remarks begin lol

[fiddy]

LOL.
Spurs are too old, Timmy is 40, Manu is washed up, Parker is fat and plays like garbage, Danny Green is overrated role player. Spurs arent reaching the WCF.

[ArbitraryWater]

Would bet alot of Money AGAINST SAS winning the title if this goes through.. they will be overrated right away you can bet on that, but Manu/Timmy/Parker after ANOTHER long season? Manu already looked done last year.. I mean, at one point Timmy's gotta break down, right? :lol

Manu looked done 2 years ago against the cHeat.

What does Tim's age have to do with his play? I agree that Parker is too fat though.

Pop knows the score...the whole point of bringing in LMA is to take some of the minutes load off of Duncan for the regular season.

Keeping Green was huge, but there's some other needs to address now that Splitter is out the door and possibly Mills depending on how the final cap total shakes out.

[ArbitraryWater]

Manu looked done 2 years ago against the cHeat.

and then came back with a brilliant 2014 campaign. Motivation is key. Maybe he'll get the last out of his Body.

--

Lets be real, they were clearly title caliber last year.. they probably could have been for one more year without any changes, but they will be overrated a bit I believe with LMA..

Kawhi still the best Player though, he could take them to the title.

[T_L_P]

Manu looked done 2 years ago against the cHeat.

Then he had an incredible season in 2014.

Maybe he likes taking one on, one off. :lol

[Collie]

Spurs are too old, Timmy is 40, Manu is washed up, Parker is fat and plays like garbage, Danny Green is overrated role player. Spurs arent reaching the WCF.

Maybe if the Spurs had some young small forward with spectacular defense and very good offense huh?

[LoneyROY7]

Geez, Spurs stacked as f*ck.

[GIF REACTION]

Aldridges gives them a lot of versatility in the front court

Agreed manu is about done.. I hope if he comes back it's going to be a minimum contract which is think is about his worth now.. Duncan well.. He is still dam good and he will sign at a significant discount.. I'm interested to see how much that will be though..

Even if the Spurs do sign alridge they still need abit of work to do with their backup guards.. Marco won't be back and he was really a backup sg/sf for us... And with manu being meh we really need to work on that next... Parker I'm not sure about.. He was super banged up last season.. And with the extra rest he might be abit better next season.. But Spurs need a more reliable backup pg incase Parker can't get it back together.
If the Spurs sign alridge can they still use their MDE to sign someone? If so this really needs to be another guard..

Really interested to see what happens here for the Spurs... Could be a massive offseason for them

[CarlosBoozer]

Western Conference gonna be insane!

[Spurs5Rings2014]

Geez, Spurs stacked as f*ck.

Can't wait for that rematch, chico.

:lol

[branslowski]

Yet another player who will carry Duncan through the season.

[ArbitraryWater]

Western Conference gonna be insane!

as always... so unfair :facepalm

6 title level Teams: OKC/SAS/GSW/LAC/HOU/MEM

Meanwhile the East has 3. Not that massive of a difference, but noticeable for sure.

[IcanzIIravor]

Is this official or are people just hopeful with the latest details from the Spurs?

[DMAVS41]

Western Conference gonna be insane!

Going to be so much harder at the top for teams now.

Spurs, Warriors, and Thunder....ugh

Clippers with Jordan or Tyson would be very tough as well. I actually like the Lance signing there and think he'll help.

Just a sick conference....

[ArbitraryWater]

I mean damn, the West has gotten so much better from their 2008-2010 time where you had like 1, maybe 2 title level Teams? Shit, now SIX? Went from as few as possible title candidates to perhaps the most in one conference, ever.

[LoneyROY7]

Can't wait for that rematch, chico.

:lol

Blake vs LaMarcus gon' be fun. :rockon:

I guess no more posterizing Aaron Baynes and Boris Diaw. :oldlol:

[CarlosBoozer]

What's worst is it will remain like that for years, unless a western superstar moves to the other conference or the rookies of the east develop to superstars :lol

[r15mohd]

KD in Miami next season bro! :D

[T_L_P]

The PG situation would still be sketchy.

Until I see something different, Parker is done. CoJo is a Free Agent and we're not going to pay him, so we need to sign another backup.

I read somewhere that we'll have around 2.7 mil if Manu comes back for around 3.5...that could be interesting.

[ArbitraryWater]

What's worst is it will remain like that for years, unless a western superstar moves to the other conference or the rookies of the east develop to superstars :lol

Now Davis signed a 5-year deal with the Pels... West also got Boogie, and Minny is looking to be a future threat.... wtf :oldlol:

Indeed sir, pity the young teams trying to develop at this age of the conference, though a healthy OKC team will be the most feared other than the defending champs and the white walkers (spurs)

[CarlosBoozer]

KD in Miami next season bro! :D
I hope to god haha, we need balance in the NBA :rockon:

[rmt]

Yet another player who will carry Duncan through the season.

Duncan (and Green) carried the Spurs last season while Leonard, Parker and Splitter (3 starters) were injured/sitting on the bench. And who was the one to show up for the playoffs? That's right - the 39 year old averaging 17.9 pts / 11.1 rebs / 3.3 asst / 1.3 stl / 1.4 blks on 58.9%FG.

[Smook A.]

Lol the Spurs are gonna be so unfair next season.

Just for fun... Over/Under 70 wins?

[r15mohd]

I hope to god haha, we need balance in the NBA :rockon:


we got the roster to help, the cap space to fill his pockets, a winning franchise, souht beach, and we're in the East...he can even buy lebron's old house :roll:

[T_L_P]

via Sauces: 'Danny Green on return 2 SA: "I'm very excited to be back, esp bc it looks like we might be getting some other pieces. We have a good future.'

[CarlosBoozer]

Now Davis signed a 5-year deal with the Pels... West also got Boogie, and Minny is looking to be a future threat.... wtf :oldlol:
We'll be watching Lebron's son get drafted and the west will still be stacked :lol

[niko]

For the person who asked, it's all but done but not yet official.

[CarlosBoozer]

I think he might prefer something bigger.

[RIP CITY]

I don't agree with everything you just said, but you said they wouldn't make it past the First Round. That's nonsense. Now, if they didn't make it the WCF I wouldn't be shocked, but that's not what you said in that post.

I think this makes them one of the favorites for the Championship NEXT season, after that who knows. But getting bounced in the First Round? LOL, not buying it.

[r15mohd]

:lol :lol :lol

[DaSeba5]

With the Warriors and Spurs being elite, and the west being stacked, they might as cancel the Eastern Conference.

[ShackEelOKneel]

Well played OP.

[ArbitraryWater]

Cavs will shit on the Warriors whenever they meet.

[pastis]

if its true, i only see big Ls for the mavs in this division next season:lol :lol

Tony will be fine. Last year was the first time in 5 years that he hasn't led the team in scoring AND assists because of his injuries. If he's healthy, he's an All-Star/All-NBA PG (like he has been for a long time).

[ninephive]

Exactly, Tony had a bad series and Kawhi shot us out of games 5-7. Tim picked up the slack and kept things interesting.

[Rab]

Any word on whether Aldridge is still meeting with other teams then? If this is a close to happening as is speculated, why bother flirting with any other offers?

[Relinquish]

KD in Miami next season bro! :D


Miami? :yaohappy:

What if the Spurs play GSW in the first? Its possible that they dont go pass the first round in theory :lol

[MaxFly]

This would be a great pickup for the Spurs, and certainly a fitting ending to Duncan's career... :cheers:

[illmaticone]

The west is going to be unreal next year. OKC, SA, and GSW...geeez.

Green

Aldridge

:applause:

Can they keep Belli now? Or is he out?

[Raymone]

This isn't the Clippers.

The team that eliminated you in the first round?

[ProfessorMurder]

The team that eliminated you in the first round?
With fishy activity in the last minute of at least two games that they won?

[ninephive]

The team that eliminated you in the first round?
The team that's never made the WCF. Read the post I responded to.

Sources: Spurs made a powerful presentation to Aldridge by keeping it simple today. They did nothing to change belief they're frontrunners.

So after SA, we have Phoenix, Dallas, Toronto, and New York left.

After what I read about SA, there is literally a very small chance for the next 2-3 teams.

[TheMarkMadsen]

this isn't official yet considering he's in a meeting with the Suns as we speak

[r15mohd]

Miami? :yaohappy:

laugh now...but it all depends on how Wade's contract is structured to allow Riley to present a team of

Whiteside
Bosh
KD/Justise
Wade
Dragic

and a blank check

Spurs are the best team for him if he doesn't stay in Portland. He can win there. It's in Texas. Rockets and Dallas are so done if he goes there.

So far, the Spurs most impressed Aldridge, with Houston close behind Waiting on Suns word. Aldridge met with Blazers often, fond of Olshey.

[highwhey]

LMA has been in a meeting with suns for 2 hours now...how long do these meetings usually last?

[Legends66NBA7]

Hmm, Phoenix could work...

I can't see Aldridge choosing Dallas and New York at the moment. Toronto, it's a long shot but if anything I've heard about Matthews possibly coming over, who knows ?
