I don't get that - maybe the draft if you wanted CDR, Chalmers or some other player, but who did we really honestly have a shot at that made sense in our system? I'm not saying we knocked it out in FA, but I don't think there were really that many realistic opportunities. Are we better than last year? Time will tell, but on paper probably not. I think as a Spurs fan it's business as usual since everbody counts us out as normal. I don't remember the article, but I do like the point that the Spurs usually don't build their team to match up against improving teams - they create their own matchup problems. I still believe that, but this season will definitely put that theory to test.

I am actually quite happy about this off-season. It seems that the FO did attempt (somewhat successfuly) to aquire players that could potentially fit the system, and fill in the teams weaknesses. Spurs have become a bit younger, a bit more athletic, and they brought in guys that will hopefully bring in the scoring punch outside the big 3 that the Spurs were lacking last season. The Spurs beat some pretty good teams last year, even with their weaknesses. A small improvement could be all it takes to get them over the hump this year. I mean they had huge leads over the Lakers, but lost them due to the lack of offensive options. They clearly had their sights on players who can provide that, so because of that, I am satisfied.

What off-season? Did we have an off-season?

Trojans Baby. Trojans.

I'm so glad I don't live in a city where basketball off season consists of rooting for those two teams.
