    What if Aldridge says no to the Spurs? Can they take back the Splitter deal since technically these are verbals and nothing is in stone until they sign July 9th?

    They won't. They'll just adjust and go after someone else.

    Leonard and Aldridge are two great pieces that have many years left. They'll be fine.

    Leonard and Aldridge isn't enough. Neither one of them is a Durant or a LeBron or even a Curry.

    I would prefer SA as well. I am already over it.
    Yeah if they went in with their usual "media capital of the world bullshit" it would have backfired. Telling him he can be in the movies or having his own radio show is hilarious for a guy who hates the camera and the micro phone.
