Report: LaMarcus Aldridge and Spurs are talking extension

LaMarcus Aldridge and the San Antonio Spurs are engaged in talks on contract extension

The San Antonio Spurs and LaMarcus Aldridge are said to be engaged in talks on a contract extension.

Aldridge is coming off a mixed year in which he had stretches of terrific play, endured a health scare, wasn’t voted into the All Star game, helped the team to the WCF, and struggled mightily after injuries decimated the starting lineup. At the beginning of the off-season he featured in several trade rumors, so it seemed he was on his way out of San Antonio.

Then, Aldridge talked about a conversation he had with Gregg Popovich about his role with the team. It looks like Popovich has sold the big man on the Spurs for the future.
