The Spurs plan to aggressively recruit LaMarcus Aldridge when free agency begins Wednesday, and they're pulling out all the stops.

Yahoo! Sports reported that Tim Duncan will join Tony Parker and Gregg Popovich when they meet with Aldridge, who plans to leave the Trail Blazers after nine seasons.

Duncan, 39, is also a free agent and hasn't made his plans known, but his inclusion in these discussions hint strongly toward a return to San Antonio for at least one more season.

Aldridge is expected to have many suitors, including the Lakers, Rockets, Mavericks, Suns and Raptors.

According to ESPN, Aldridge’s first visit will be with Los Angeles and Houston. Carmelo Anthony also reportedly reached out to the All-Star forward.
