I'm trying to understand why Spurs fans want to excuse the front office for cutting corners when they have 5 years or so of a NBA legend's career left. What are they saving up for, the 2015-16 season?
4 years from now we'll be wondering whether the Spurs can make the playoffs. I don't think two contracts on the books would make that big of a difference.

Man we're jumping off cliffs that don't even exist yet.
Unprecedented.
I would reply to your post but I need to save some key strokes for 2014.
Maybe the Spurs can win the luxury tax ring in 2011.
Holt would be proud.

I'm going to chalk it up to an extended offseason. We're supposed to be in post parade euphoria right now but since we've been out since the second round people are already in full summer meltdown mode.
50 wins and making it to at least the second round for the remainder of Duncan's career is a perfectly respectable, non cliff-jumping goal, isn't it?
I don't get the cliffjumping mode from my husband or anyone else here.
In 2005, the Spurs won a le with two low-tier centers in Rasho/Nazr.
In 2006, the Spurs were one foul away from moving to the NBA Finals and they were using MICHAEL FINLEY in the front court.
Don't you all think that no matter what Robertas Javtokas or even a low-tier bigman like Collins, Wright, whoever might bring to the table, the Spurs will be right in the mix again?
Don't you think that getting an adequate bigman and then adding some youth to bench is going to be just what they need?
For 2 years this forum has been begging to get rid of Nazr/Rasho combo and they did.
Y'all act like the Spurs need a frickin' overhaul. And if they do, then you can't get quality by trading scraps. If y'all want an overhaul, then prepare to lose Manu or Tony. That's the only way an overhaul happen.
Enjoy the summer and have sex.
It's just basketball.
True. Woman can please me. Spurs just tease me now.
My head hurts ....
How things change in 2 freaking days!
Enjoy the summer and have sex.

Knowing that I would not be expected to score and only required
to play defense, rebound, and pass the ball? yep I'd come to SA.
I'm not jumping cliffs. I'm just not understanding what the front office is doing. If I could make sense out of it, I'd trust their judgements.
But right now it seems to me that they just want to sit on the money saved.
That'd suck.
I attribute 2005 to Horry and Manu playing way, way over their heads.In 2005, the Spurs won a le with two low-tier centers in Rasho/Nazr.
If the playoffs started tomorrow, Finley would still be the power forward and we haven't heard the Spurs linked to anyone who could fill that void.In 2006, the Spurs were one foul away from moving to the NBA Finals and they were using MICHAEL FINLEY in the front court.
Regular season wise, the Spurs are fine.Don't you all think that no matter what Robertas Javtokas or even a low-tier bigman like Collins, Wright, whoever might bring to the table, the Spurs will be right in the mix again?
Versus the Mavs and Phoenix, the Spurs need to fill some holes. I haven't seen them linked to any move which would address those areas.
If the adequate bigman can guard Dirk, then yes.Don't you think that getting an adequate bigman and then adding some youth to bench is going to be just what they need?
As far as youth on the bench, the Spurs have been needing that for like three years now. Last year there were dozens of options out there and the Spurs didn't land any ... even though some were begging to come to San Antonio.
I just want one report of the Spurs going after a young wing.
One.
I was celebrating the Rasho for Bonner trade. I hyped up Bonner more than his mom would.For 2 years this forum has been begging to get rid of Nazr/Rasho combo and they did.
The summer started out well. But the Spurs need more than one move to get by the Mavs and the Suns.
No overhaul needed but this free agency crop is drying up and the Spurs haven't made a move yet. It doesn't help that Ludden keeps insinuating that the Spus are ready to go to battle with what they have.Y'all act like the Spurs need a frickin' overhaul. And if they do, then you can't get quality by trading scraps. If y'all want an overhaul, then prepare to lose Manu or Tony. That's the only way an overhaul happen.
If that happens, Spurs don't make it far.
Is that an offer?Enjoy the summer and have sex.
True. Yet those fools a couple hours north of us are better at the moment.It's just basketball.
The universe is out of order. Spurs fans need at least need to be teased so that they believe the Spurs are making a move necessary to reclaim their throne.

Who is begging to come here?
To all your comments except the sex one, it's July 4th so calm down. I'm sorry that you don't know exactly what the Spurs are doing next and it's making you nervous. But it doesn't mean that they are going into the season with the 11 guys that are under contract and nothing else.
Damn Spurs fans are wussy.
Last year.
By the way, I remember the days fondly when you led the HOYA brigade and I was on the BAMA side.
My how things have changed.
I was guessing impatient myself. Oh well...
Here you go ... you might need a couple buckets before this is over.

Speaking of Buckets ...

Mo Evans was practically offering to service RC. Devin Brown wanted back. James Jones was interested.
Spurs got Melvin Sanders as their young swingman.
Wow, we really missed out there. All those guys are certainly > Finley and would've beaten him out of the rotation.
Did you miss the word "young"?
If you don't think Devin would have helped versus Dallas, you live in some warped reality.
you're assuming he would play.
I can only go by his stats against Dallas this year. One good game out of four doesn't sway me.
Uh small ball was in full effect and Barry was playing poorly. Plus Brown had success in the past guarding Dirk.
And here we go using season splits in the regular season on a different team as indicator for performance in the playoffs again.![]()
