Open Thread: Aldridge and DeRozan tried to recruit Wesley Matthews to the Spurs

Wesley Matthews was recently traded from the Dallas Mavericks in the move that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Big D. He appeared in two games with the Knicks before being waived and ultimately chose to sign with the Indiana Pacers — who recently lost star guard Victor Oladipo to a ruptured quad — due to the promise of a starting position.

However, it would seem Matthews received a lot more interest on the waiver wire than that. As Pacers reporter for The Athlietc Scott Agness noted, he received multiple pitches from other players, including current Spurs LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan.
