Aldridge made the move to San Antonio in 2015, signing as a free agent following a highly-successful nine-year stint with the Portland Trail Blazers. As soon as trade rumors surfaced this season, Aldridge was linked to a potential move back to Rip City in a possible reunion with former teammate Damian Lillard. While trade talks did not materialize, the Blazers could still make a move for Aldridge once he clears the waivers.

With Aldridge now set to become a free agent, there have been a number of teams that have been rumored to be in the mix for the 35-year-old. As it is, however, the Miami Heat appear to be the frontrunners to sign Aldridge as they look to add some depth to their frontcourt. A move to South Beach could work wonders for the five-time All-NBA big man, who is now at the tail end of his career.
