I still think it contains all the most important aspects of their plan. You just missed on their chances to sign Diaw AND Lorbek.

Overall, plan A is still viable.

You don't blow up a roster that was two games from the Finals. You simply get rid of the superfluous parts and weakest links.

Nothing wrong with this team. The problem is there is no offseason move we can make to assure stern won't take it from us again.

i don't get this plan. if the spurs succeed, they will essentially have the same lineup that got tossed by the thunder in the WCF. the only difference is a negative as the powers of the big 3 get another year slower. how does this make the spurs better? now that lorbek bailed out, the spurs can re sign boris diaw. and then what? the same team but much older. how is that a good plan?
