Never thought about it.
Spurs can land Marc Gasol too if they miss on LMA.

Last time I heard , there wasn't any meeting planned with LMA... Everyone is overreacting with the 2nd meeting with Pops.. I'm not saying that it didn't mean anything, but they obviously felt it was needed... nothing has changed from the Suns FO ... They still feel very confident and like their chances

LMA to Phoenix
Marc Gasol to San Antonio
Memphis to the lottery

Much appreciated bud, hopefully that will ease a bit of the stress taking hold here.

Pretty sure Gasol has already agreed with Grizz (at least verbally)

I'm pretty sure he already agreed with Memphis.

There's a difference between "Suns don't need a 2nd meeting" and "Suns are waiting to hear from LMA about whether they'll GET a 2nd meeting."

Sounds like we're in the latter situation

I don't see much difference.

Even if LMA signs here?
I think he'll at least give this a thought

Good question to ask Gambo.

The apparent urgency from the Spurs to need a 2nd meeting had the hint of desperation for me. I feel like LMA is the Spurs to lose and the Suns are playing with house money.

Gambo's response to a user asking "will they get another meeting" was "they don't know yet, they are waiting." That means we've requested a meeting.

Yeah. If he was an option for the Spurs he should have been their #1 target. Arguably a better player than LMA and a much better fit.

Suns don't need a 2nd meeting = we know LMA is making up his mind still and that the second meeting with Pop didn't necessarily seal the deal.

Suns are waiting to hear from LMA whether they'll GET a 2nd meeting = Pop's second meeting today really got LMA thinking and now he's willing to turn us down without even giving us one more chance like he gave the stupid Spurs.

Bottom line = he's either still deciding or has decided. It would just suck more to lose out because of stupid Pop's stupid meeting with him today. GIVE US ANOTHER MEETING, LMA!!!

But maybe it's not even necessary?

Exactly...we were never the favorite...let them scramble, if he goes there, he would have anyway.

Not saying that the Suns FO is considering this... But wouldn't David West be a perfect fit with Chandler as well?? .. I'm not suggesting that the Suns are out of the running but him and Chandler would bring the toughness and leadership both Len and Markieff needs
