Re: Aldridge
He's another one of these guys that has a player option for the year after next. What if he opts out?
It seems like some of the vets being bandied about for trades - Ryan Anderson, LMA, DeAndre Jordan for example - either have a too many years with too many $ left on their contract or not enough years! Butler definitely strikes the right balance, but I have a hard time seeing how we get him.

Re: Aldridge
Who are the Spurs taking if they get to the lottery? Lets keep the pick and take that guy.

Re: Aldridge
I'd probably do it. What are the odds the guys available at 7 reach his level? He has a game that ages well and fits in right next to KAT at the 4 which is our biggest hole. He cares about winning over market based on his decision to go to the Spurs and he would help us become a playoff team instantly. I think that bodes well for keeping him. He's a good defender which we need in the frontcourt. He was the second best player on the second best team in the league. We could use a guy of that talent level on our team to help us get better during this bridge period of our young guys getting to their prime years.

Re: Aldridge
Also, whoever the Spurs would take at 7 has a much bigger chance of panning out for them than us. They want a lottery pick they can develop like they did Kawhi. Kawhi probably isn't half the player he is today if he stays in Indy. They turn coal into diamonds. We don't. So getting the guy they want doesn't mean he's gonna be good here the same as there. Hill helped propel Indiana to a 1 seed in the East. LA wouldn't do that for us to that level, but I could see it being good enough to propel us into the top 4 if our Big 3 continues to improve.
Re: Aldridge
Not a chance. If the spurs agree to a trade, you're losing. Simple as that.
Further, LA is in the mold of the dying big man breed. Long 2s, average rebounding, average post up game, Subpar defense. He is also in a steady decline.

He is not a good defender. what have you been watching?
