Highly coveted free agent LaMarcus Aldridge will sign with the San Antonio Spurs, he said Saturday on Twitter.

His deal will be a four-year maximum contract worth more than $80 million, with an opt-out after the third year

Kobe is the reason not byron scott.
Only a Kobe lover won't agree with this.

The guy wants the easiest route to a ring abeg! Kobe is in his last year. There is every possibility he will retire after next season. If the Lakers were loaded he woulda joined Kobe or no Kobe

They probably saw the team is not solid enough to compete for the title
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:42pm On Jul 05, 2015
After the legendary Jim Buss died, the Lakers organization started fading, it's power appeal followed suit, his son Jerry Buss is the issue here and this year's free agency has exposed the organization even more, he lacks any knowledge about handling a large business organization like the Lakers, he wants to make all the decision and the results of his decisions have been catastrophic, take for example how the scouting of Phil Jackson was handled, Phil was totally gutted even though he never mentioned it.

Aldridge basically called them out, even though I agree Aldridge all this time wanted to play for the Spurs, I think he wants a shot at the championship, the Spurs are the perfect team, an experienced roaster with the best coach and a blend of talented youth and passionate fans, it had nothing to do with Kobe or Byron Scott to a lesser extent, it's not like Kobe is 25 here, Kobe at most has one more season left to play the game before he hangs his shoes, any free agent going to the Lakers understands that.

The Lakers would get some free agents this year, hopefully they would compete and better last season's horrendous performance, they would get Hibbert, a healthier Julius Randle, I am not sure Swaggy P understands the concept of competitive basketball and hopefully D. Russel lives up to the hype.

Why will anyone want to play on a team with their best player in his 20th season? Everyone wants at least a shot at winning the title. If the Lakers had that people will join Kobe or no Kobe.

Phil Jackson is also at the Knicks why has he not been able to attract anybody? Even his apprentice Steve Kerr refused to join him, that should tell you something

They also want to make money and enjoy the LA lifestyle.
Once kobe retires next season free agents would flock to the purple and gold if he doesn't laker's fan better hope Russel is a bonafide superstar.
I understand Aldrige decision what about Greg Monroe ?

With that money you can enjoy any lifestyle when the season ends. Gone are the days where being in a big market counts for anything. Look at the last 2-3 years that should make it clearer to you

The Bucks are a promising team with MCW, Jabari, Middleton etc. Monroe has never been in the playoffs since he got into the league why should he continue with such streak by joining the Lakers

Really? Hmm well lots of the great players are ballhogs. I think Kobe's is exaggerated. He has averaged more than 5 assists per game over a 19 year career

Lou Williams to the Lakers. Fantastic addition
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:03am On Jul 06, 2015
This year's free agency is the most active I have witnessed in a very long while.

I saw this coming, i would miss Brandon Bass as he heads to the Lakers, he would be the exception to the rule to the boo boys.
