WIth the Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich making news with his extremely critical and poignant comments about America's current president, the Spurs on-the-court news flew completely under the radar. The Spurs big-man signed a three-year extension that will pay him $72.3M. According to Adrian Wojnarowski who broke the story stated, the expected financial playout would be:
Aldridge will opt into the $22.3 million player option on his 2018-19 contract, and the extension's new terms will start with the 2019-20 season. Aldridge is set to make $21.4 million in the 2017-18 season.
LaMarcus is a critical piece to the Spurs puzzle and with Kawhi Leonard developing into the player he's becoming it was a necessary move to make in order to secure a second option for Leonard.
