There's no ranking. Any of these guys go down and the Spurs are ed.

Imo, they can slide past the WCSF without Manu because of Belli...

Manu should've retired by now and should be enjoying his life with his kids by now. I wonder if he regrets it after getting hurt again.
I have Splitter and Green ahead of Duncan right now
Leonard has moderate value to the Spurs. He doesn't fit their system and isn't that good anyway. But he's the best young player they have, and his defense on Durant is the best hope the team has to get to the Finals. His league-wide value is probably really high (due to hype), but to SA, he just happens to be the best they have.

Tony is the heart of the team. If he goes down you're done. Manu is the heart of the bench. This year the bench has been great. You have to have that to win games. Tim is our best big, but we can play small ball in the RS or play with Splitter and pull out some wins against ty teams. Leonard is a good defender, but he's a bonus for us. He's not going to give us a lot on the offensive end and his defense can be played by Green or Diaw.
Oh no you di'int!!
Possibly the only ways to annoy most of this board more would be to call Pop the best coach in the league and defend his decision to bench Duncan at the end of game 6.

The Spurs need all these guys in generally good shape to get anywhere, tbh...
lol @ Tony being less important than Kawhi
The blatant bias of Spurs fans is ridiculous.
Tbh we need Kawhi more than Manu atm with him being our only SF.
At the moment:
1. Tony
2. Timmy
3. Manu
4. Kawhi
In terms of future value:
1. Tony
2. Kawhi
3. Timmy
4. Manu
IMO...
We need Manu and Tony equally. We need Tim a lot in the playoffs. Without Leonard's defense... we don't make it far in the playoffs. They are all equally needed.
1: Parker
2: Duncan
3: Leonard
4: Ginobili
Parker and Duncan are the clear cut top two imo. We can almost get away with losing any other player, assuming the rest of the team is healthy. Parker and Duncan simply can't be replaced. If either are down our chances drop to practically 0% in any series outside of round 1 imo. The top 5 in the west is too good now.
Leonard surpassed Ginobili after last season. . .mostly due to Manu decline. Leonard now is worse than 2011 Manu easily, but he's better than current Manu imo despite the not very versetile or reliable offensive game.
Tim, Tony, Kawhi, Manu... yet all 4 are requisites to us being compe ive, so the rankings don't really matter at all
Regular season:
1-Tony/Tim
2-Manu/Kawhi
Playoffs:
1-Tony
2-Tim
3-Kawhi
4-Manu
Leonard's defense -and rebounds- may be irreplaceable in playoffs. (Manu on Durant was good 10 minutes, not 48 minutes/7 games).
Belli is really starting to prove how little this team needs him tbh. IMO Belli is a nice piece to trade. Overrated, inflated value. Make him someone else's problem.

+1. This is literally about how I see it as well.
