LaMarcus Aldridge feels safe after his "leap of faith" to the Spurs

It's really happening. He held up the jersey and everything, which means no backsies.

LaMarcus Aldridge knew he was going to be a Spur for good once he realized he had slept peacefully through the night last Saturday.

"I went back and forth a lot," Aldridge explained during his introductory press conference in San Antonio. "I knew the night before I tweeted it [Saturday morning]. I was just like ‘I'm going to sleep with it on my mind.' When I first thought that they were my first option I called Portland and told them I wasn't coming back, so I talked to (GM) Neil (Olshey) and (owner) Paul (Allen) that night before I went to sleep, so I could have my mind at ease.
