He did go from a team of 2 (he and Lillard) to a stacked team with 4 Hall of Famers (that first year with the Spurs)

It's an interesting read tbh...
So how would it work with Aldridge joining a cast that already included Parker, Manu Ginobili, Duncan and Leonard, the latter being one of the league's fastest-rising stars?
"I didn't mind that, and that's why I came, because it's about the team. It's about winning," Aldridge told ESPN.com. "I felt like my biggest goal was to put myself in the position that offseason to win a championship. They've done it here. They understand what it takes. This team has been good so far. Last year, we go out and win the most games in franchise history and tie a record in the NBA. So the things I wanted to do as far as winning, I've been doing. It's about winning and trying to be myself while winning. I don't know where all those things come from.
"I think they knew Kawhi would grow, and they wanted me to be a guy to help him win games. That's what I've done. My role has changed a lot at times, and people may get frustrated or mad because I'm not the guy I was in Portland. But, it's a different role for me. This is his team, and I'm just here to help. It's not about being upset. It's about learning how to be that guy, honestly. I was the man that took 18 to 20 shots [per game] in Portland. So, it's like I go from that to sometimes getting eight shots, 10 shots. It's a process of going from that guy to this guy I am right now. I'm not upset, but it's just been tough at times to adjust to how to be myself still when my role has kind of shifted."

If you read the article it seems both Pop and RC are satisfied with LMA and seemed to speak more highly in public then I thought they would...
We were up 1-0 in the West Conf Finals with Aldridge as is so there's that.
Can't let the stock tank if you want to sell it.
LMA-O.
That just doesn't seem like Pop and RC, tbh. But I hope you are right.
Good one.
You really think theyd imply that they werent satisfied?
They never talk bad about their players. They were always positive to the public too with Richard.
Not ready to give up onquite yet
Well they went over the top and act like he's been more than expected..but in reality he's been a disappointment which everyone in and outside the league know..
Of course I dont expect Pop or RC to talk bad about a player but going over the top like that seemed a bit odd
Not ready to give up on
