now is not the time
The Spurs had a great season, but they weren't good enough to win another championship. What are their biggest areas of concern this offseason? How do they address those concerns? How close are they to another championship?
now is not the time
Easy. This is the Spurs formula:
1. Tank a season.
2. Win the lottery.
3. Add another all franchise center next to your previous #1 pick.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
get other players that can create their own shots
Get rid of Finley, Stoudemire, Vaughn, and retire Horry.
Keep Tim, Tony, Manu, Oberto, KT, Ime, Brent, Bruce.
Drop Fin, Rob, JV, Damon.
Bonner... I dunno.
Bring in Mahinmi and Splitter... oops... and another young big.
Sign James Jones or Carlos Delfino to some part of the MLE, and grab another young swing with the rest, draft a backup PG.
Make another run.
The Big 3 have 3 years left together. Keep tilting at the trophy.
This guy needs to be our starting 2guard next year.

Ghost is one happy mother er right now.
I honestly don't think this cuts it. It's fairly much what they'll do, but I don't think it's enough for contention.
Keep Tim, Tony, Manu, Bruce, and Brent.
Encourage Fin and Rob to retire.
Drop JV and Damon.
Be willing to package any of Bonner, Udoka, Oberto and whoever else is left and see if you can get anything young and decent or maybe to try to move up in the draft.
Have Mahinmi work out all summer with Duncan beginning on Monday.
Get a young swingman who can score with the MLE.
Search for a Bruce Jr. and a backup point.
Draft an athletic 3/4.
I can see that stuff happening.
A bruce Jr? I just don't know if that guy is out there.
Back up point is out there, doubt the Spurs can get it.
The team is NOT as far off as some think.
Tweaks, not overhauls are needed.
What a mouthful!
I doubt Bonner, Udoka, and/or Oberto can get you much on the market. Maybe Oberto to a team needing vet savvy.
What a weak FA class it is. Azbuike might be okay, Childress would be optimal but is not available.
You need a SF, a SG, a PG all with fairly bad draft picks.
This will be a monumental task for a GM crew that hasn't been next to stellar since lucking out with Parker and Ginobili. I doubt they can roll 7s something like 5-7 times in a row.
I'm fvcking p1ssed off.
Why is it that every time the Spurs win a le, the front office doesn't look at the reasons why and just assumes that if they roll virtually the same team out there, the results will be the same.
Beyond frustrating.
Where is the Memphis GM when you need ot make a deal?
Oh, I know those players don't get you much. I don't expect much from them. But , the Spurs got Hedo and Mercer for Danny Ferry's retired contract once.![]()
+1 kori
we can't just keep on leaning on veterans. we need to have new talent coming in. preferably athletic swingmen who can score.
the journey for the fifth championship continues.
go spurs!![]()
First things to do :
- Send Pop and/or RC in Spain to see if Splitter is really lost.
- Check who want to retire or go elsewhere.
- Look at draft prospects.
Kori, you don't mention Thomas. We have his Bird rights, no?
I'd be happy to see them trade Bonner/Oberto, maybe Ime if we were getting back a really athletic two who can score and defend like Kelenna.
Maybe better not to draft a PG and go for an athletic 3/4 since the point takes so long to learn. We can probably find a decent point for the LLE.
Bring in Darius Washington. I like his energy
What's the deal with the latest reports? I haven't read the Splitter thread at all.
True, but the architect of that wizardry now works for another team.
And Oberto.
The man can't beat Farmar on a rebound.
Even Mugsy Bogues jumped higher than him
Spurs fans are some spoiled mother ers. Then there's Ghost.
Yeah I am not a Kurt Thomas fan. So I don't care if he's here or not. He played well tonight though. Yes, they have his Bird rights.
We need hungry younger guys; just additions though, no major overhaul.
Look at the young Celtics scrubs.
Or look at what Joe Dumars did with Rodney Stuckey, Jason Maxiell...
