I don’t know who is behind the scenes pulling the strings on national media coverage but they must be trying to set a new record for mentions of the San Antonio Spurs in a week. For a team that hardly ever gets noticed, the Spurs have been a fixture in trade rumors over the past few weeks.
It started with the news from The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor that the Spurs were interested in trading for Nikola Vucevic. Then Gregg Popovich surprised us all when he announced that the team and LaMarcus Aldridge would be parting ways and trades were being explored.
