This.
I think barring the Thunder, the Spurs have the most cost-effective, winning team in the league. And credit the Thunder's success to Spurs alumni Sam Presti who is way under-rated as compared to that overrated David Morey.
The Spurs have the best FO in the league. Every idiot and savant who follows the league properly knows that. And their organisation can be arguably termed the best in all professional sports all across the world.

I don't know if their cost-effectiveness will last long when they will have to pay KD, westbrook, Green, Ibaka... real money
Didn't KD just sign an extension? Either way, they have done a great job so far.
AFAIK..they have extended KD already. Ibaka was picked up only last year.. so there is a bit of time to go. Westbrook will hit the jackpot soon, but I think Green is likely to be a FA when his time comes. But the OKCT have good assets (the contracts + picks + bench talent) to make some decent trades and shore up their core of KD + RW + Ibaka.
There's always the 2 major signings in spurs history: That of Center - Uwe Blab 89-90 and then Forward - Tom Copa 91-92(who is on facebook btw, lol).
A lot like how the league revenue numbers for last season were magically revised upward, which allowed Miami just enough room to sign both LeBron and Bosh. What a piece of luck, huh?
BTW - Jackie Butler was billed as the best pickup of that off-season by a lot of "experts".
A few have mentioned Finley. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't a straight up free agent acquisition because Dallas payed the bulk of his salary in 2006 and 2007, right?
Either way, excepting Nesterovich and Antonio McDeyess to a lesser extent, I can't think of any big free agent acquisitions made by the Spurs. True, Duncan signed as a free agent but, he remained with San Antonio. He didn't come to SA after playing out a contract with another team.
Failed to mention 'Dyess, good call -- but that kind of speaks to the level of free-agent the Spurs have acquired; or maybe the state of the player upon arrival . . .
And, yeah, Finley came about because of a one-time cap measure allowed by the league. But he was a free agent nonetheless -- Miami was recruiting him pretty hard.
Terry mings.
And thank Allah that we "lost" the Jermaine O'Neal sweepstakes. That could have sunk our organization.
No, the Spurs traded Alvin Robertson and Cadillac Anderson for mings.
I dont think JO had had any major knee injuries prior to the summer of 03' had he? He was a 20-10 player and a very solid man and team defender. He wouldve been the ideal replacement for DRob...he comes here and who knows maybe the staff handles his injuries more cautiously. I wouldve taken that chance.
the spurs really threw a boatload of money at JO and were surprised that he did not bite. spurs had just won the 2003 le with very, very little help for duncan - he still has the highest playoff win share ever recorded.
IIRC, JO's first injury season was in '07 and he played 70+ games that year. granted that we would not have been able to sign ginobili again for a huge amount, but think about this pipe dream for a second:
we get a healthy JO for 3 seasons - 04, 05 and 06 - we win 4 consecutive les which convinces the owners to pay ginobili enough to stay in sa. for the 07 season, we do not need JO, and maybe we do not win b/c we would not have had enough money for other players.
it's fun to dream and having JO in sa would have been an adventure - an adventure charlie!
Sean Elliott was a pretty big deal
Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo
We we're never able to sign Dikembe.
Some people don't know the difference between a FA and a draft.
this is a silly (and somewhat stupid) question.
since the new CBA - very few teams have landed a "big name" free agent (and that includes the Lakers & Celtics). Prior to the movement this past offseason - the Knicks and Bulls would have been in that group as well (rounding out the 4 biggest markets and arguably the 4 highest profile franchises in the game).
, Cuban's biggest free agent signing is...DeSagana Diop.
doc rivers, terry porter
You do realize Sean was traded to Detroit and then signed as a free agent with the Spurs in the offseason.... Of course you did.
well Im not sure whether this is even possible anymore - come on, even Splitter is probably regretting now to have left Europe - you go from being an MVP to a bench warmer at the worst possible time.
Maybe next year...
Yes.... after he was past his prime!
mouse2moose has it down, well almost san antonio not a second tie town. but all the rest is write on,we not a city african amercian what to live in. as long as F.A. got another deal in a city that as more of a black pop. we are out of luck. we better draft great
