I can't say I'm surprised. Good career move by Aldridge because the Spurs were the best option for him IMO. Anything that makes that Dallas pick worse is gravy.

Can't wait to see LMA take the torch from Duncan as the Spurs new face. Even if it's not going to be for that long.

Wow Duncan and LA combo for two years will be crazy.

Lamarcus Aldridge @aldridge_12
I'm happy to say I'm going home to Texas and will be a Spur!! I'm excited to join the team and be close to my family and friends.

Go Spurs!

Best franchise in the league.

That team is gonna be good for a long time with Kawhi and LaMarcus on board.  Hard to go wrong with those two.

Our Celts might not matter for a while, but at least we have the Spurs.

Great move by the Spurs as always. Just sucks they got so lucky in 1997 and got Duncan.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Looks like we've got our early co-favorite in the West.  Another Spurs-Warriors series would be sick.

Awesome! Just another roadblock towards a Cavs title!

I'm not really a huge fan of Aldridge or the Spurs, but I'm so glad he chose there over LA or NY lol

Speaking of LA, maannnnnnnnnn! What a strikeout this summer!

Parker - Green - Kawhi - LMA - Duncan

Hands down, no contest, my favorite lineup in the league.

Smart decision by Aldridge.

I'm so jealous of the Spurs.  I can't help but root for them.  It's such a well run organization.
