Here is who the San Antonio Spurs need to avoid in any deal for Aldridge

Normally San Antonio Spurs fans can check out around the trade deadline and not have to worry about missing anything groundbreaking. San Antonio has rarely made moves during the season which makes this year’s change so shocking.

Last week, Gregg Popovich announced that the Spurs would try to trade LaMarcus Aldridge before the March 25th deadline. LaMarcus has been a crucial part of the Spurs’ success since he joined the team in 2015 but his time in San Antonio has come to an end.

Since the news broke, we’ve seen hundreds of different proposed trades. Most of them involve one of the teams widely rumored to be interested in Aldridge such as the Celtics and Heat but other teams have been included as well.

The Spurs won’t be able to command too much in return for the former All-Star but they should be focusing on getting back young players and picks. But they’re likely going to have to take on veteran players as well if only to make the salaries work.

Here are the players that the San Antonio Spurs need to avoid in any trade for LaMarcus Aldridge.
