WOJ: Spurs only team Aldridge is confident about currently.

Beyond Blazers, only contender for Aldridge that he's clear about organization, about role for him: Spurs. Everyone else, still questions.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Hmm... I was hoping he'd be interested in the Rockets

[oh the horror]

If he's so sure then why not sign? That makes no sense

[L8krH8tr]

so i guess hes just going to milk Riley for a free dinner and wine and bounce?

[PejaNowitzki]

He's clear about the organization and role with the Spurs but apparently is undecided if it is indeed the best for him.

I agree with you. They don't have a C. Sure when Timmy plays, but he doesn't play back to backs, so that means LMA will have to have some time at 5 which he hates.

[r15mohd]

Only team he's confident about right now

Let's not forget LMA called Riles, and after dinner with the don...much can change

Ah I see. Makes sense.

Not only that... Duncan will only play about 25-28 minutes a night. That is at least 20 minutes where they are centerless as well.

Who cares already? He's a good player but he ain't winning a damn thing as the #1 (before you jump down my throat, I feel the same way about Melo). If this guy wants to bandwagon his way to a championship contender, than get it over with already. Stop attention whoring and sign with the Spurs.

[GOBB]

Spurs is a no brainer. I'm lost why he is playing around? I'm assuming he fears once Manu, Parker, Duncan leave which is soon (manu/duncan for sure) that the team may not be as good then? But Spurs proven they can build. However with Duncan its just way easier to do. Without that is a huge void.

[JimmyMcAdocious]

And what are the Spurs going to do after Duncan retires, probably after this season?

[CoastalRyan]

Not only that... Duncan will only play about 25-28 minutes a night. That is at least 20 minutes where they are centerless as well.

It'll be less than that when they go small. If they sign Aldridge they'll bring a vet big to eat up the difference.

But lets not act like the issue was/is about him having to fill in at the 5 for 5-10 minutes every now and then. It was about his primary role and how the team envisioned him fitting in.

[KyrieTheFuture]

The most important thing is the playoffs, and he'll spend 0 time at center during the playoffs.

People talking about the original 3 retiring totally forget kawhi is going to be on a joke of a contract once the cap goes up. EASY to get someone else if those guys bounce.

Yea, but you know what...any team he goes to...he's going to spend some time at center each game.

Even on the Suns with Tyson. Tyson isn't playing 38 minutes a game or something.

And the league is trending, and will continue to, trend towards position-less basketball.

Some situations are better than others for this for LMA, but dude is playing some minutes each night at center regardless of where he goes...especially if he wants to win...it's one of the things that makes him as valuable as he is.

It's what I'm sure Riley is gonna try to sell him on....pairing him with Bosh....and being able to just destroy teams with that versatility on both ends.

If he really wants to win...he's gonna have to put in the hard work of banging a little, protecting the paint, and working his ass off on defense.

If he doesn't want to do that shit...he should just go back to the Blazers and take the money.
