Aldridge did originally tell “Oddball Hoops” coaching was not part of his post-retirement basketball plan. Specifically because of his struggles as a player, like the ones where reportedly butted heads with Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich regarding late-game minutes.
Apparently, it was Spurs fan who posted the tweet that sparked LaMarcus’ response to player development.

With so many greats from the Spurs still in San Antonio and accessible to player development, it stands to reason that having Aldridge involved could result in a “too many cooks in the kitchen” scenario.
What do you think, Pounders?
Wemby has Tim Duncan in the practice facility, David Robinson on speed dial, and the winningest coach in NBA history at the helm. Does LaMarcus’ skill set enhance Wembanyama’s growth or distract from all that the young phenom is taking in?
