This is interesting to me on two fronts.
1. If the Spurs could move Aldridge this off-season, I believe they'd do it in a heart beat. Aldridge is too much of an ISO player offensively that stifles their flow, and he's slow footed defensively. I think Alsridge legitimately drives Pop nuts and Pop called him out during the WCF this year which is kind of abnormal
Found this on the Clippers forum:
Spurs have $93 million in salary for next season. Cap holds: Patty Mills ($6.8M) and Jonathon Simmons ($1.7M), so total is $101.5M. If you are getting Paul though, and have DeJounte Murray, you might be letting Patty Mills go. The cap is $102 million. Gasol has a player option for $16.2M which he will likely pick up. Tony Parker's expiring is $15.5M, and I suppose they could move him too. Those two are making a combined $31.7M. They could technically move them to clear cap space and renounce Mills which would give them $39 million in cap space and subtract the cap holds which is like another $2 million or so. So it is actually not far fetched to imagine the Spurs being able to clear cap space for Paul I guess.
