It was a whirlwind of a week both on and off the court for the San Antonio Spurs. Beginning a nine-game homestand, they disappointed on the court and initially at the trade deadline by not being able to deal LaMarcus Aldridge before buying him out. They still made a deadline deal for the first time in seven years, but it turned out to be just a cash dump as they acquired an injured Marquese Chriss, who was waived soon after. However, they grabbed a solid and much needed backup center off the waivers in Gorgui Dieng, who chose the Spurs over a multitude of suitors.
