3. LaMarcus Aldridge
One year in San Antonio and reports are that Aldridge is already looking for a way out. Could Denver be his new home?
Aldridge wants to be the focal point of the offense, but with Kawhi Leonard evolving into an MVP candidate, that’s not going to happen with the Spurs. With Denver, he can be whatever he wants to be.
Some people may not realize how great Aldridge is because he’s a quite guy who’s spent his entire career playing for the low-key Trailblazers and Spurs, but he is great. For his career, he’s averaging 19.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and a block, and he’s likely coming of the best, most-efficient season of his career. He’s a five-time All-Star, a four-item All-NBA player and a winner.
If he really wants out of San Antonio, the Nuggets should get on the phone and give Pop a call ASAP.
