No idea who runs this website but this is what they just said:

I wonder if the announcement is coming today.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Lakers got a second meeting and the media has basically said that they were out. I guess that means LMA told them that he appreciates their time and won't be signing with them. Now Spurs want a second meeting. Does that mean LMA will be letting them know that he won't be signing with them?

Sorry for reading between the lines

Are we in line for a second meeting? Is the pic floating around of Pop and LA at lunch from today?

BOOM! TD/Manu might be gone next year. LMA prefers our youth movement

Ugh, I thought he was younger than that. Unfortunately I agree with you. Age could be a big factor in this decision.

Soon as in a couple days. Aldridge will take some time to step back and evaluate which is a better fit going forward.

Ginobili sucks. Bringing him back does not help the Spurs with LMA.

Interesting! Maybe PJ would have just been one too many in the room and, as stated by some other posters in this forum, LMA already knows what he's getting with PJ.

So clutch that McD pulled the whole Tyson deal. Granted, if LMA doesn't mind Tyson's age, he probably doesn't mind Spurs age.

my guess is they wanted the emphasis to be on basketball. look at all these good players we have on the team VS hey we collected a small group of your close friends whatup

Well, first of all, they would have to be ok with hanging around through free agency while we figured out what we were going to do. And you don't want this to go through before you sign a FA into cap space, so you really hamper their ability to go out and look for things.

Though I haven't heard anything about either of those guys doing anything, so perhaps that is a plan. Who knows? There are experts who know more than anyone here looking at all angles.

Is anyone else reporting that he met with Pop? Earlier today Stien said he wasn't taking anymore meetings.

Funny thing is until you mentioned it, I wasn't even thinking that was a window. I was thinking it was a huge aquarium or a huge picture or something, but I don't know.

I think we are long lost morris bros withouth the tattoos and anger

If it's a done deal with the Spurs, he would have announced it. We still have to be a chance.....

So does Parker. A long term core of Kawhi and Danny Green is not enough to stay competitive

Dude I guarantee you it is some poster from here. It's gotta be.

Seriously, like a few minutes to a half hour after we discuss things here, the same news breaks from THAT twitter account.

As a matter of fact I think ginobili flops was trying to say it was him above.
