I wonder what Pop is thinking now. Did he fail somehow in integrating Aldridge into their system? Should they have got rid of some of the older guys already?
Makes me smile knowing Aldridge left for a ring just as Duncan was getting old and that dynasty was ending. Duncan and Pop likely gone after this year. Pop says he's gone when Timmy is. Sad to see Duncan play like this
I think their organization is too good to just accept being a treadmill team. I do not believe however that they will consider trading Leonard. He is their team's foundation. Would not surprise me to see them accepting a year or two of lottery just to rebuild somewhat. That team has one young star to build around, one in his prime star to be his sidekick (Aldridge) and some reasonably young role players. Maybe they will do a LMA for Blake kind of deal or LMA for Love if Clevland fails to win it all this year.
At least we showed up in our eliminiation game. Wonder if Lamarshmellow will take his own private jet back tonight.
How did Duncan get so irrelevant so quickly? I understand he is 37 (?) but his style of play is not hard on the body and he hasn't had major injuries has he?
He's just played for so many damn years...that's a lot on the body, even if his playing style isn't so physical
