Trade Machine Results: Nuggets -1 Wins, Spurs Unaffected
Let’s be honest, these teams will not be trading any time soon. With that in mind, the Trade Machine was played around with, and the best option wound up sending Aldridge to Denver.
Why the Spurs would do it:
They wouldn’t. The Spurs are all about fundamentals. Not only does Aldridge define a fundamentally sound PF, but Faried comes in as anything but. His free-throw shortcomings alone make him unwanted in San Antonio.
They would likely be more interested in developing Jusuf Nurkic, but even that would not be nearly enough to shake them off Aldridge. He is simply too good a fit. On paper at least.
Why the Nuggets would do it:
They’d have LaMarcus Aldridge.
