Resign Duncan, offer him a blank contract and let him fill it out (per Timvp)
Get rid of Bonner
Sign a quality backup PG
Add some interior D and toughness
Do all of the above without screwing over the team's financial future
Keep TP from hanging around shitty rappers like Chris Brown and Drake
I could add more, but these should definitely be top priorities for the Spurs during this offseason. The Spurs would be wise in offering Timmy a blank contract for X amount of years. He obviously deserves it after all he's done for the team, but if he's intent on sticking around to make another run(s) at a title, he'll definitely be smart enough to sign a contract that will leave the Spurs some financial flexibility.
Bonner is self-explanatory. I honestly don't care if it's through amnesty or trade, just tell him to http://files.sharenator.com/gtfop1_what_weird_radom_skill_do_you_have_s380x212 _96779_535_Welcoming_Party-s380x212-181989-580.gif
Lastly, the Spurs will certainly find themselves struggling with the same issues they did this postseason if they fail to sign a quality backup PG and improve defensively, particularly inside. The defense took a step foward due to contributions from guys like Leonard, Green, Diaw, Splitter, and Jax (in place of the flaccid dick, mind you). However, Neal's deficiencies as a PG were exposed both offensively and defensively this year, and the interior D problem still lingers from last year. I'd like to keep Neal, but he's nothing more than a bench player. Lorbek and De Colo are supposedly coming over next year, but neither have any shot at solving the Spurs' defensive issues.
There's a fair number of quality bigmen that we could aquire through the draft, even in the 2nd round. We don't NEED a dominant bigman, just someone who can provide some interior D, rebound, and bring a little bit of nasty and toughness (I'm looking at you, Bernard James). We have enough assets to move up in the draft, so I'm hoping we could get a quality pick for Blair + something else. As far as the PG issue goes, there's enough names on the FA market this year, and most teams throughout the league are already set at the PG position.
This team made noticeable improvements over last year's team as shown by its WCF trip, but Father Time is still the Spurs' biggest enemy. If Manu or TD fall off a cliff next season there's not much the Spurs can do, but by making some adjustments here and there and not doing anything drastic, the Spurs will have put themselves in a respectable position to go after that 5th ring. :toast
Just my two cents, yours?
