San Antonio Spurs Rumors: LaMarcus Aldridge attracting plenty of interest around the league, Chris Paul could be swapped for DeMar DeRozan and more

#3 A major rebuild is inevitable

The Spurs may look to build around young talent such as Dejounte Murray

The Spurs are currently battling to save their streak of reaching the playoffs, and if the rumors are true, the team could still execute a bold move for a player such as Paul. Nevertheless, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that a major overhaul will come in the not too distance future as the Spurs prepare for life after Popovich:

This rebuild is coming in San Antonio. Whether it’s this trade deadline or this summer. There’s no getting around it. It’s going to be a hard road for them. They’re not setup to turn this around very quickly.

With high-earners such as DeRozan (player option), Aldridge, Rudy Gay, Patty Mills and DeMarre Carroll all under contract until at least the 2020-21 season, the Spurs face a lengthy rebuild process once they head down that avenue.
