NBA Trade Rumors: 8 bold predictions for deadline day
The Spurs will trade LaMarcus Aldridge
While the San Antonio Spurs aren’t technically dead in the water, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that this team is in desperate need of a shakeup. Whether that’s a complete rebuild or not is entirely the front office’s decision, but the team should probably think hard about trading LaMarcus Aldridge before his value really begins to tank.
He’s a prime candidate to be moved at the deadline too; he has one year (after this season) remaining on his contract and would not only help whichever team trades for him this season but also next year.
Aldridge is still a productive scorer and efficient enough where he’s still a plus player while he’s on the floor. His defense is certainly a concern but if he could certainly be hidden in the right system. Aldridge could throw a wrench in the second half of the season if he falls to the right team, and if the Spurs actually elect to move him.
