    Spurs would be too good next year if they get Aldridge.

    Prime opportunity right now for Rockets to cannibalize some great pieces from the Spurs/Hawks.

    Spurs are basically getting LMA.

    Doc said his SA(assuming works for the spurs) guy said that Houston is LMA's first preference. It really depends on if Portland wants to play ball with us or not.

    I believe this is the same person who predicted we draft Dekker.

    Edit: It is

    So is Aldridge going to be forced to play center with them? I may be remembering incorrectly, but I thought he made a big deal of that when he was forced into the Center spot with Portland. That's why they went out and got Robin Lopez. Still doesn't seem like an optimal spot for him if that is what is going to happen, if he infact complained about having to play Center (which I'm like 90% sure he did).

    Nah, Duncan will have to play center. And the only backups they'll have are Diaw and Baynes unless they find someone else via trade or free agency. The Spurs will have a great starting unit(albeit an aging one) and a much weaker bench. If they suffer the kind of injuries they did last year, they're screwed.
