Kosher Ham Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I wonder if he has an opt out clause thrown in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Opt out after year four. Still has a year left on his current deal, so it's a minimum of five more years in New Orleans. I bet they win a title before this contract is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before, but if I'm starting a team right now, I'm taking him #1. At 22, he's already better than what KG was at the same age. That's scary. I'm going to be interested to see if he spends time this summer working on his range...imagine if he can somehow add a 3pt shot to his skill set?

SuperBash Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Beal and his agent will be smart to wait a year for an extension. We won't get a nice 4 year 50 mil for him. Those types of deals will inflate. Probably 5 year 80 mil or so. Middleton just got 5 for 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would work on his defense. His defensive awareness is terrible, but his natural skills are incredible. Give him the defensive mind of a Kawhi Leonard or Draymond Green, and he would be an unstoppable 2 way force.

Give him the defensive mind of a Kawhi Leonard or Draymond Green, and he would be an unstoppable 2 way force. He's also 2/3 years younger than those guys. He'll get there. IMO, he'll be the unquestioned best player in the league by the time he's 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 LaMarcus Aldridge is a moron if he doesn't choose the Spurs. It's his best option by miles. Spurs with him, Green, and Kawhi all locked up long term should be able to transition pretty seamlessly from the Duncan/Parker/Manu era. They won't be quite as good, but they'll still be really good. I'd worry about Popovich's replacement though. The organization itself is excellent, so an ordinary coach could probably succeed. Much like Spo has in Miami. But special coaches like Pop don't come around often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 The Spurs being in the FA game still feels odd It is odd. But it should be odd that it's odd. The best franchise in Major Revenue American Sports should rightly be the most attractive free agency destination in the NBA. Especially since they also have the advantage of having no state income tax. Oregon has the third highest top state income tax rate in the country. Second behind California for any state with a pro team. It's like 10%. So Aldridge will make 10% more on at least like 44+ games a season. That adds up. I expect Aldridge to sign a two year deal with a player option for the second year. If he opts out and signs a max contract with San Antonio next summer, then he would be eligible for the full 35% max deal. He could make himself a TON more money by doing that than staying in Portland or going to LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
