We can try #SunsLMA...use that one...but we would need to post it on all the Suns places to see if it can trend....like BSoTS, VoTS, to Coro, Gambo, Marotta, the facebook fans page, asfn, etc. It's probably the prime time to do it though being 9pm in Phx and LA.

Heck, maybe I shouldcompare him to Game of Thrones and say his situation is like Daenyrs Targaryen taking over the kingdom from the long time rulers...though I guess in that case the dragon would have helped.
People can only see your tweets if they search for a keyword like LMA. If they follow you, then it automatically shows on their time line. I also saw the Game of Thrones tweet but I haven't seen it so I don't think I could do justice in mentioning in a tweet.

Well you can sign up for twitter in like 1 minute. If you are at a computer it would likely be much easier than on a phone, though I don't know. I think it would be good to send him positive messages, but please, no one bash the Spurs or any other team or player.

I'll make my Twitter into the Boards account until a decision is made.


You mean allowing anyone to post from your twitter account? I think we need independent posters...not a flurry of tweets to him from who he would think is one person.
I would remain the independent poster, but would tweet anything we thought was appropriate to him signing with the Suns

Every time I hear about Pat Riley talking to a FA we've been linked to, I get a sick feeling in my stomach.

ESPN sources say Pat Riley and LaMarcus Aldridge are still dining together. Only 9 PM on West Coast ...

compare the Spurs to the Lannisters and Pop to Tywin. As soon as Tywin left things fell apart for them

Last year Keef averaged 15 points per game on 13 shot attempts.

You could make the argument that Keef could score 20 a game if he got more FGA's.

Thing is that LMA is a star player and Kieff is not. LMA isn't as big a p***y on the boards and defense as KIeff is. Plus more consistent.

LMA's star status would immediately give the Suns credibility. Other star FAs and disgruntled stars would look at the Suns for signing or trades to play with LMA.

Ain't nobody coming here to play with Kieff.


what about Thomas Robinson

You have to search all mentions of his twitter handle. Just put his @ address in the search box. Then click on "ALL" up top.

Well if you are game, lets talk on all the other spots about tweeting with that last hashtag to him...and get many others to do it from different places.

What is the play here? In a S&T, Heat trade Deng and McRoberts for Aldridge?

I wonder if he told LMA that.


OT - btw, my brother tweeted me that Gates got suspended for PED's. Did you hear anything about this?

Yea I was very disappointed. He's one my favorite guys on the team, can't believe he got caught doing something like that.
