Some of you know I write more than just this newsletter and that has been keeping me away from updating posts frequently in the last week or so. In particular, college basketball has been poppin’ y’all. The Spurs were in trade mode but that did not go through well at all. The Spurs were not holding good cards. Aldridge’s value dropped considerably after about 2017. No one felt he was good enough to carry the team — and that includes some of you Spurs fans. The Spurs’ penchant for seeing value that others do not is generally a good thing — draft picks success! — but it hurts them in cases like this. The Spurs clearly still thought LMA was good but no one else did. Well, no one thought he was worth what the Spurs were asking for.
Goodbye, LaMarcus Aldridge
