Well damn they’re not wasting time are they. When Kawhi won the Finals MVP we all knew that when the time comes for Tim Duncan to hang the kicks up, Kawhi Leonard will smoothly move into the Spurs leadership.
But it seems that they’re not even waiting for Duncan to call it, they have just allowed Kawhi to take the reigns as soon as he was ready to. That’s what LaMarcus Aldridge is seeing.
“I don’t see myself being that guy here,” Aldridge said. “This is more Kawhi’s team, and we all fit in around him and try to make his life a little easier. If I was trying to be that guy still, I should have not come. I’m OK trying to help Kawhi be great every night.”
I see what they’re doing here. They aren’t slick.
While Leonard takes Duncan’s role, LaMarcus will be the lieutenant which has been Tony Parker’s role and it’s a toss up to see who will take Ginobili’s role. I want Kyle Anderson to take it. I love that kid’s play and I think he would be a great 6th Man.
It seems I probably won’t get my wish of seeing the Spurs being trash for at least a season.
