We've spent virtually a whole off-season praising the Spurs office for pulling off the coup of the summer in signing LaMarcus Aldridge, a superduperstar who was coveted by virtually every team in the league with cap space. Even though the Spurs have been contenders just about every season for the last quarter century, they've never been able to attract a free agent remotely in Aldridge's stratosphere. Heck, they've had difficulty even getting minimum-salary veterans chasing rings, a la David West. Those guys always, always, always follow LeBron James.
It's a brave new world, Spurs fans.
