This. It explains nearly every move the team makes. The Spurs run their team differently than most, and while many give all the credit to Tim Duncan, I can't do the same. He deserves the lion's share, but I think Tim and Pop together (with RC too ofc) built the core of the system, a long-term strategic way of doing things that Pop has stuck to even after Tim retired. So while many want the Spurs to turn their roster over more and stop re-signing their own guys so often, I don't have a problem with sticking with what has worked and is in fact still working.

It's like a family business that refuses to pay as little and charge as much as they can possibly get away with, instead choosing to focus on keeping key employees happy even if it means overpaying them, and not chasing every penny of profit at any cost.

yes... I disagree with standing pat when the wheels are starting to fall off obviously and I have wanted them to improve their guard situation, so I haven't been a happy camper... but at least they are consistent with what they are doing and Tony and Manu do have a little left in the tank, plus they set the example.

One has to hope Kawhi appreciates all this. It can all come crashing down in an instant if he doesn't. Talent wins in this league and Spurs have to keep their best guy. I hope they haven't screwed things up with him. I believe the rumors really stem from him being unhappy that he's injured.

Other than that... I have started to think more and more the Spurs really are standing pat right now and probably for the summer too. Only a real big fish like a Lebron (last season they would only have done it for CP3, and they tried to trade for Irving) would prompt the Spurs to move guys and disband the group... and I don't expect a big fish.

Just got to hope Dejounte, White, Forbes (as far as guards) and any others they may add continue getting better.

Not a bad idea.

Tony getting a 3-year deal this offseason confirmed.

Man, this team will not make a change until the new guys are old enough to be old.

HOTS had 9 assists and still got benched during crunch time. Inexcusable. Fatty Mills continues to choke game after game and still closes because of that 50M contract smd

Parker is the best PG this team has and probably needs to still be starting. He's the only point guard we have capable of getting his teammates involved.
