Bleacher Report suggested this deal.

San Antonio Spurs Get: Wilson Chandler, Emmanuel Mudiay, Trey Lyles

Denver Nuggets Get: LaMarcus Aldridge


I personally think it's too rich of a return for the Spurs given that Aldridge has a player option next summer, but I like the idea of Aldridge in Denver. I think acquiring a major player like Aldridge helps the Nuggets become more legitimate players in free agency. Popp can start Chandler at the 4 and the trio of Green, Kawhi and Chandler on the wing gives the Spurs a significantly better matchup against the Warriors.

Love it for the Spurs hate it for the Nuggets. I understand Nuggets wanting to get a star player but Aldridge is on a fast decline and isn't really the type of player that would help Nuggets. Nuggets were a top 5 team in offensive efficiency while 2nd worst in defensive efficiency. Adding a once great but now waning offensive player that is an awful defender, soft and only has 1 year + a player option left isn't a recipe for success in my book. I guess hate is a little strong since they aren't giving up that much for him but I'm not really a fan of Nuggets getting Love or Aldridge. At least with Love he is signed longer and younger. If I were Nuggets I'd be trying to get an upgrade at point guard like Bledsoe or Rubio who could help with perimeter defense and be competent so they don't have to give Nelson big minutes (Mudiay is too raw) .

Aldridge is a great fit in Denver, but he's to old for that team.
