Re: Offseason Trade and Free Agency Discussion
I hope we're telling LMA that about Spurs.
We have guys who will be better than Parker, Ginobili, Duncan either straight away or within 18 months max.
We'll have a coach who isn't going to retire with them.
They've been up in their era for 20 years, you're coming in the year before it's going to burst. Here we're building something new.
Winning a championship there is expected and not a big deal really, here you'll be the star in history.

Re: Offseason Trade and Free Agency Discussion
If the only thing Sarver had to say is " I will give you all the money i can legally give you" then i see no issue

Suns met Aldridge with Robert Sarver, Lon Babby, Ryan McDonough, Jeff Hornacek, Earl Watson, Tyson Chandler, Eric Bledsoe & Brandon Knight.
Bled and Knight. Looks like neither will be traded.
Interesting, PJ Tucker wasn't part of the contingent, despite being LMA's college teammate, read into that what you will.

I would say 20% right now.

Kinda hard to trade Bledsoe when he's at the meeting. Good speculation Marc Stein!

If Bledsoe is there then we must be keeping him. Surprised PJ wasn't there.
He gone in a salary dump along with Marcus if LMA agrees to come here.

Pretty strong contingent to meet Aldridge. Suns went all out. Great to see.

Tucker is busy spending his off-season trying to banned for opening games again.

Re: Offseason Trade and Free Agency Discussion
Lol our delegation didn't include PJ because he would have probably have to be dealt to clear cap space for LMA

I just hope Sarver and Babby let the others do the talking.

Geez, guys. A team of Kawhi, Parker, Green and LMA isn't exactly damaged goods.

In a year or 2 from now the Spurs are back to ground zero and in rebuild mode. LMA will be smack dead in the middle of a rebuild. I don't see how that is appealing.
Well they still have Pop, Parker and Leonard, so add LMA in that it's a pretty solid big 3. But they don't really have a good C except Duncan who won't be there much longer, and Aldridge wants to play with a good C.
