See you later Portland, hello Texas! Some how, some way, the San Antonio Spurs have done it again. The Spurs have locked up NBA free agent LaMarcus Aldridge to a 4 year max contract and they may have just become the best team in the league.
According to ESPN,
His deal will be a four-year maximum contract worth more than $80 million, with an opt-out after the third year, a source told ESPN’s Marc Stein.
Sources said the pitch Aldridge received Friday in Los Angeles from Spurs coach Gregg Popovich — about playing with Tim Duncan his final days in the NBA and then taking over for him as the Spurs’ frontcourt linchpin alongside Kawhi Leonard — resonated strongly with Aldridge.
It was the Spurs’ second meeting with Aldridge. Popovich, Duncan, Leonard and Tony Parker all pitched Aldridge directly Wednesday morning, sources said.
