If Manu doesn't get injured and Tim doesn't re-injure his ankle in game 3 we win this series. This team just once again ran into bad luck. This team still has it. It just wasn't meant to be this year.
The back-court is not the problem. I saw the future in Tiago and Pop knows it too. He's going to be good.Tony, Manu and Tiago will compliment each other well.
Tim's role needs to be like David's was. He's more than useful, the mins gotta be limited in the same vein as DROB.
Gotta get some-one for RJ when he's shrivelling up and we need a big in the Darrell Arthur mold. Seriously, the frontline has some glaring weaknesses. More-so when POP relies on a stretch 4 such as Matt Bonner.

Duncan isn't retiring and Parker isn't going anywhere.
I completely disagree that Duncan is done..he's just an average scorer, at this point, but he's still a very good defensive player, rebounder, screen setter and passer..he could still play a great role on a team that needs a 4th option, or as a 3rd on a team that has an elite 1-2 punch..
If he wanted to be traded to a contender, I'm sure Miami would be calling in an instant..
I agree about the Spurs rebuilding though, I said it last year, too..
if manu does not get injured is like it will not rain in washingston
Actually , if there's possiblity in that RJ can get traded . The spurs need to jump on it. A simple player like battier would be more than enough.
It's over for the Big Three. Tim should negotiate with the front office to get out of his contract and retire with some dignity. Parker, being the youngest of the Big Three, should be traded somewhere in the East where he might still win some rings. Manu, because of his popularity, should be retained so the fans will show up. Get rid of Bonner (too unathletic, gives up too many points) and Jefferson (he never delivered as expected). If Duncan retires, I think Pop will too. He was badly outcoached by Hollins. Get some big, athletic men who are tough.
duncan and booner for bosh
Tickets, folks. Don't forget about tickets.
Trade Duncan for a top 5 pick of this year
Trade Ginobili for a top 5 pick of next year
Retire Dice.
Spurs won't do so of course, but it's the successful way to rebuild.
Duncan should stay until he retires. Age has caught up with him but he is the face of the franchise. Without him the Spurs would still be sitting on 0 championships. Spurs should keep him out of loyalty and only trade if he requests it.
With Manu and Parker I guess you have to listen to offers at this point. Would be sad to see either of them go, but they're easily the two best trade assets the Spurs have. If the right offer comes along you have to take it. Personally though, I'd like to see the Spurs keep Manu just because it's fun watching all the crazy plays he makes. He'd also provide good leadership during the early rebuilding process.
People need to realize you're not going to get everything that fixes this team in one offseason unless every one of the Big 3 is gone. The only way RJ gets shipped is if hes packaged with Manu/Tony/Hill. Tank next year, get under the cap. Try to sign a big name (doubt this is possible in SA) rebuild through the draft. If at all possible rehire Presti
Agreed you can't build around Ginobili since he is 34 yrs old. I would rather see him retire a Spur. I don't want to see none of those 3 in another uniform but this is coming from a hardcore Spurs Big 3 "Fanboy". I know that is not reality because in the end it's all business.
What would you rather lol Bonner as your main player while you rebuild? Hill? Splitter? RJ?
Fact of the matter is, if you're trading one of them, trading tony gets you more then trading manu, end of story. But you can just ship out every single big 3, that's blowing up the team in ways that I don't think the spurs are willing to do. It's not a "let's build around KD" situation, it's a "Manu will be our leader while we try to rebuild" situation.
Oh - my bad. Didn't see that part.
Who wants to rebuilt around Manu? He'll be done next year if he's not.
There is not player in the team to build a tle contender around him.
I still believe this big 3 can win it again. You just have to abandon this run n gun . Get some skilled 7 footers next to duncan and some tony allen/shane battier type defenders on the wings.
We need to try and make this team a defensive team again instead of running up and down the court.
you all crazy if you think this team is going into rebuild mode. They got 61 season out of fundamentally flawed team . They flaw got amplified in the play-offs because Tiago wasn't intergrated and we happened to play the grizz in the first round who's front line is just as imposing as the Laker's.

Manu and Tim could go to Miami to help Lebron win his first championship!
I'd love to keep Tim as a role player, but they still need to rebuild. I guess trading parker, hill, and blair definitely needs to happen. Sucks.
I do think the Spurs really need to trade Blair. Thats one move I really want to see in te offseason.
This team isn't done. Not sure why everybody is so anxious to turn into the 1990s Boston Celtics.
You have one more legit run next year with Tiago implemented from the start. Anderson/Green/Blair/Neal coming back...
They don't have a franchise player anymore but this team is still good for 50-55 wins next year and a chance at a deep playoff run.
Who knows what the draft will bring?
You pray to God somebody takes RJ/Bonner of our hands and see what you have at training camp.
I doubt Timmy wants to go chase rings with Miami. Manu/Parker are locked up for a couple more seasons.
You ride it the out til the wheels fall off.
Duncan, Manu and Parker should stay. So should Hill and Neal. Id trade/ can everyone else.
Dude....you really think Manu needs to retire now?
