If we land Aldridge and West to replace Splitter, we have won free agency by a mile.

Parker/Mills
Green
Leonard
Aldridge/West/Diaw
Duncan

Looking at that, I'm guessing Bonner comes back at the vet min to provide a few minutes of his Oddly Effective Defense (TM) against teams with size. Throw Reggie Williams in the mix for a few minutes at G/F. Add a backup PG with some size and it really all comes together. I'd really like to see us grab Cole Aldrich as one of the last guys on the roster. Big, true center who put up 12.5 and 12.5 per 36 with decent passing last year for less than 1mm.

I haven't listed Kyle Anderson there because in spite of his D-League numbers, he is unplayable in minutes that matter unless the Spurs decide that they will play zone defense every time he's in.

I want to announce that I have completed my cycle in San Antonio Spurs. This way, I end a glorious stage with the Spurs Family, that I started 5 years ago, and in which I've accomplished something as unique and amazing as winning a Championship. From the first moment when I came to this city, I felt the love and warmth of its people, so I can only thank you all. Here I grew up as a player and person. During these years, we went through unforgettable moments, the hardest and the happiest ones. I'll take them for my whole life. I would like to express all my Respect, Admiration and Gratitude to my coach and mentor Gregg Popovic for his confidence and tremendous professionalism. Also, I would like to thank all the employees of this great family, who always showed their love, gratitude and respect to my family. I have also to thank my teammates for everything they teached me during these years. Thank you very much for your endless generosity. Finally, I would like to show my sincere thanks to the fans for their support during all these years. They've always been faithful regardless of the outcome! I wish all the best to everyone who keeps working and fighting for this Great Spurs Family.Thank you all, I will never forget you!

Good dude, good passer, very good positional defender and pick and roll player. I won't miss the soft shots at the goal or the injuries, but it was a successful tenure for both Splitter and the Spurs. He won't be as easy to replace as some believe.

Agree very much. He'll fit in well with the Hawks if they keep him though, they need that defensive lynchpin at center.

The Spurs have gotten some guys paid though. 3/20 for Baynes and 3/19 for Belli are pretty stout contracts to hand out even though the last couple years of those deals will be relatively cheaper with the cap increase.

Every time I see Ime Udoka I think of the story about his brawl. Hopefully he helps persuade LMA.

Udoka Brawl link (if you never saw the story)

And seriously, I didn't start it. Kingsley Ogwudire was in front of our team in an all-out tirade in his best Arabic. The next thing you know, there were three Algerian players on him. Everyone was engaged in combat save me, if you can believe it. And lo and behold Ime! He was taking people out like in Mortal Kombat. Finish him! Incredible.

@WojYahooNBA: Spurs and Suns have solidified themselves as frontrunners in pursuit of free agent LaMarcus Aldridge, league sources tell Yahoo.

Video surfaced of Pop Ime and Sean Marks walking with LA. If Pop turned on his father pop routine we have a good shot. But I'm fully prepared for a whiff.

I remember watching that game 5. The Spurs looked completely tapped out and you could feel the Pistons wresting control of the game away from SA. And then Horry stepped up out of the blue and carried the team for the entire 4th quarter and OT (he made his 1st shot of the game with 1 second left in the 3rd quarter). Everybody else was in a funk and couldn't do anything right, so SA kept dipping into the Horry well, and time after time, he delivered. I went back and looked at the play-by-play, and he went 7-8 from that 3rd quarter shot to the end of the game and scored 21 points. For a brief period, it was like we had Michael Jordan in silver and black. I couldn't even believe it. I was laughing like an idiot as he drained huge 3 after huge 3 every time Detroit tried to pull away.

I know he's hit some big shots, but that was the finest hour of his entire career. He went ham for a whole quarter + OT and hit the game winner to steal a crucial Finals win on the road.

My personal favorite Sun-squashing moments:

--Roger Mason, Jr.'s game winner on Christmas 2008 in PHX

--Timmy for 3 to open the first game of the 08 playoffs

Oh, such good times.

As long as we can rescind Bowen's retired jersey and we can get Ivy Taylor involved in a third meeting, I think we are still in this thing.

Bobby Marks: So here is your LaMarcus Aldridge cheat sheet going into Day 4 of FA: POR: Full Bird Rights. Can sign up to the max salary. 5yrs and most $. PHX: Would need to trade Mk. Morris and PJ Tucker to get to that $18.8m slot for Aldridge. Alex Len would be close but not sure you move him. SAS: TD would have to come in around $6m. Renounce Manu and sign for Room ML, Waive Reggie Williams. That will get you to $18.8m. But do not count out HOU in all of this. If LA really wants to go to HOU, the Rockets have the players to possibly make that work.
