If you combine the Spurs' timid nature, cheapness, and the fact that most teams don't want to help us through a trade - it's not a great option.
The problem with surrounding the Big 3 with only veterans is that the Big 3 are already veterans. Young players can also be role players. The Spurs defied odds by winning in 07 with a grandfather lineup. Typically, le teams have a combination of experience and youth.
Anyway, the most depressing point of Ludden's article is that there is no future for the franchise. All the coaches are going to pack up the second Duncan leaves. If the FO at ude is to leave once Duncan retires, that's basically saying they're already planning for their own vacations. Has anyone ever worked with old-timers who don't want to adapt to changing surroundings and basically are hanging on until retirement? Yeah, they're really annoying because they aren't living in reality. Evidently, that's our front office. I consider this a huge insult to the fans who will be here way beyond the next 2 years.
While I agree with Timvp and others who say we need to win now, I also wonder how the it came to this? After the 06 loss to the Mavs the FO has been in denial mode - even while winning in 07, which is an astonishing feat, one that I greatly appreciate.
