And for all of the Amin bashers, dude hasn't said anything that isn't true. Truth hurts.

This was the last chance for us. No more opportunities to become contenders for multiple years.

Booing a Father who wants to live closer to his children to spend quality time with him is extremely low.

Good on LMA for making that choice. Im devastated he didnt sign with us, but he did what was right for him and his family.

Screw that, let's boo the **** out of him. I hate how impassionate and dull our fanbase can be at games sometimes.

It might be rude and stupid but at least it would show the fans give a **** about something.

Trade everything, go for Durant next year.

and its a 4 year deal. So he's sold on the Spurs long term? I guess this guy isn't exactly smart.

His kid probably swayed him.

Why is it so hard to be a suns fan?

What did we do to deserve this lol

The Suns weren't a contender with LMA anyway. They were a second round exit at best.

AT this point, about all we should bother with is tanking. We can't really hope to make the playoffs this year with the players we have (2 good PGs, a good center, and the rest being mediocre). No spacing, not enough talent.

Let Horny know his job is to roll the ball out there, and let 'em play.

This changes if we can get a star at PF, but I don't see it happening. Not with Kieff and Bledsoe as trade bait. (The soon to be felon and the malcontent introvert.)

We trade his brother to the Pistons.

He watches the entire town go crazy for LA who is going to replace him.

Then when LA decides to go to the Spurs, everyone looks at Keef and says "hey buddy, you were our guy all along" .

Keef laughs.....

Honestly who gives a **** is keef is laughing. Regardless if we signed LMA, getting rid of marcus is a huge positive!

Honestly the joke is on keef if he thinks that way. He needs to get a clue, people just don't like the morrii!

Im excited to see what Kieff is going to do playing along side Chandler. If he works this summer and can improve his three point shooting to 36%+ we got something special there.

Also we still have $11+ million in cap space to work with for a trade. Plus Bledsoe could now be back on the table.

Man, it's hit or miss with you guys... We all can agree that the Chandler signing is significant .. Why?? Brings the leadership the locker room desperately needed and will bring the toughness it has lacked for years.. It's a blow that we couldn't get LMA but at the end of the day, he chose to be home.. I can't blame him for that.

I'm good with that. He can contribute to the team, or be viewed as a trade asset. I think he has value as a trade asset, but McD would have huge brass balls to turn around and trade Tyson Chandler immediately after LA announces he's going to the Spurs.

Or Alex Len can just play like LMA 8-)

I still like the Chandler signing.

LMA and Kawhai is a nice duo going forward no matter what happens to the other three, Those two would just need one stud to be a big three afterwards...........not that difficult. The Spurs aren't going anywhere for the next 5-6 years, they will be good, because LMA is a skilled player.

C'mon Len and Warren...develop them like the Spurs did with Kawahi.

More from LaMarcus Aldridge @aldridge_12 tells me: "I wanted to be closer to my kids and family (in Texas)."

Come on, man. I don't want to boo him cause he "wants to live closer to his children". It's cause he made us believe that we did have a chance and he just cut us out like that, without even given us a fair chance, or a second meeting. Anyway, please do not put words into my mouth. Moving on...
