LaMarcus Aldridge and the Spurs will take time to get used to each other

It's probably going to take Gregg Popovich a bit to figure out how to best use all of his new good players. It could be worse. Imagine if he had to figure out how to best use a bunch new crummy ones.

LaMarcus Aldridge hasn't even dribbled a ball in earnest for the Spurs yet, and he's already paid huge dividends. Not only did Gregg Popovich reportedly promise to coach until at least 2019 to get Aldridge to commit, but Aldridge also played a role in convincing Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili to put off retirement for another year.
