Don't you trolls understand what will happen with the Heat, Knicks, Magic, (and any team that is willing to spend big over the salary cap)?
The Lakers, Celtics, and Spurs are nearly over the hill, but the Lakers and Celtics can/will spend.
If Hill and Blair perform, we'll have to sign them to big contracts:
do you want a combo guard and an undersized center to be the future of the Spurs?
I like Hill and Blair, but the NBA is rigged. Our top-heavyness depends solely on Tim Duncan. I love Manu and Tony, but without Duncan's wheels, I DON'T see it happening.
As much as I hate to say it, (and Manu and Duncan are my favorite players in the NBA (they replaced Robinson) and I'm so happy we grabbed Blair) Emmanuel Ginobili, Tony Parker, Blair, and Hill are all expendable in the name of the Spur's best future.
I'd like to see us keep Manu forever, but with the Spurs, he's got this year and next, TOPS, unless Tim opts out and resigns at pennies (a possibility, because he has owns the heart of Basketball) which possibly gives us the potential to add one premier player (depending on the CBA.)
