LaMarcus Aldridge to sign with Spurs

LaMarcus Aldridge will sign a four-year deal worth $80 million with the Spurs.

What It Means:

This signing solidifies the Spurs as a force again in the Western Conference with four players who ranked in the top 25 in nERD last season. LaMarcus Aldridge had a 6.5 nERD last year, which ranked 24th in the NBA. The Trail Blazers lost Aldridge, Wes Matthews, and Brook Lopez this week who combined for a 14.9 nERD. They likely won’t be able to replace that production next year.
