I agree. But we desperately need a good expirienced back up pg and to move manu to the starting line up.
I don't see them recovering from this...the time to rebuild is upon us. We are going to turn into the mid 90's Pistons.

I wish the Spurs could add one more tested role player, preferably a swingman who can play PF in a pinch and can guard 3s. That would reduce the weight of burden from Kawhi's shoulders as the Spurs transit to a New Big 3 - Tony, Timmy (yes, I do believe in him) and Kawhi.
Marijuana is legal in Colorado. How did you get it sent to you down there in S.A.? I am trying to get my hands on some right now, and after I am successful, I may agree with you. Right now? I need something else. The bottle of Pinot Noir was not quite enough.
Agreed .. It's over this spurs team Gino,Timmy done..
'Bookmarked
Spurs seriously need to explore their cap options. They need a swing to fences trade or free agent acquisition. That would involve giving up Splitter.
Sticking with the same core, even with Leonard's emergence (unless he becomes the second coming of Scottie Pippen next year), just won't do. They need a viable superstar who can score during crunch time.
Dont the Spurs have like 20 million to spend?
Lmfao yeah the Lakers. Right.
Easier said than done.
Completely agree. The loss obviously left a bad taste, but getting to this point has been inspirational. I see no reason why a serious playoff push can't be a possibility next year. I am actually very excited for our offseason.
I want Diaw back badly. I don't see it though.
2 keys in my opinion. Parker will be there but what about Kawhi and Duncan? Can Kawhi build on this season playoffs and turn into a legit 3rd option/borderline 2nd option type player, where he's consistently a 16-17pt, 8-9 rebound type of a player? Because that's what I think it may take to negate the possible dropoff Duncan may face next year. I think it's asking A LOT for Timmy to replicate what he did this season. But then again, he proved us all wrong so maybe he doesn't give us another 18/10 type season but somewhere along the lines of 16/9.
i'm pretty numb to the pain right now. after game 6, this somehow didn't hurt as bad as i thought. i f'n love this team
You think he's going to opt out of $4.5M? I don't see it.
playoffs, yes. finals, no.
It's hard enough to win back to back les more or less even trying to make it to the Finals twice in a row. I'd say highly improbable.
I'll never count out Tim Duncan. All of you losers that want him to retire can go yourselves. I want him to play as long as he wants to play.
How about you guys stop watching the Spurs and off. We don't need any of you.
Tim Duncan is awesome, my favorite player ever. He did all he could. Amazing effort from him at this age. INCREDIBLE effort. Kawhi played his heart out too.
For that to happen Kawhi IMO has to become a borderline superstar. His role must be fully expanded and I doubt our dip coach will allow that..
Yeah no. Spurs are too old. We need younger talent. We can maybe make it to the WCF but we wont get close to an NBA le with these same players. Get ready for another season of disappointment if the Spurs don't make any offseason moves.
Is there a bigger got on this board than you? Seriously, do you take five s in the ass at the same time while posting?
It all depends on how the team uses this off-season. They are in a position (with cap space and Bonner's deal) to really make some good moves. If they can get one more young piece, I'll feel great about the future. I wouldn't go for a seasoned vet this off-season. The Spurs raised their ceiling by developing younger players. They need to continue with that in the off-season.
I'm really curious to see how the guard rotation is going to work now, though. I think we all agree that Ginobili should not be the primary (or at least the only) play-maker off the bench. If the Spurs have to get a good player to run the point (at least Livingston-quality), does Ginobili even stay with the subs? Parker and Green work really well together, but there something appealing about being able to have one of Leonard and Green in at the all times. Even if Ginobili and Green stay put, what happens to Joseph, De Colo or Mills?
Maybe the team just rolls with what it has, but I don't think their bench will get stronger without at least one big addition. Maybe a trade for Carter is in order?
Agreed.
Clearly, when your three best (or, three of your best four) players are at the stage theirs are at, it's always doubtful, but unless the Thunder take a clear step forward (as opposed to just incremental improvement from some of their young guys), at the very least, they should start next season as at least co-favorites in the West.
Two big decisions loom, however . . .
1) Splitter. I've seen all I need to see the past two playoffs to know that this is not a guy you can "go to war with". I don't care how good a fit he is, zero chance I'd tie up a bare minimum of 4/$32M in him.
2) Backup PG. The days of having Ginobili essentially play this role are over (or at least, they should be) and Joseph is far too limited a player to assume the role.
Unfortunately, I have zero confidence in them addressing these two needs. In fact, I don't think they'll make a significant move period and instead will just hope Leonard and to a lesser extent, Joseph, take a big step forward.
It can be done.
The Charlotte Bobcats will back next season also.
