    We don't have a big chance to beat Celtics, not even Lakers.

    Then, should we consider RJ's trade, which ruin the hypothetical 2010 plan, to be a failure?
    No, the spurs were not getting any top star in 2010. San Antonio is not an attractive destination for the top free agents.

    The goal, whether in 2010 or now, was to build a team that had a legit shot at winning 1 more le before Duncan retired. Now, you can build a team that has a legit shot and still not win. That would not be a failure.

    The failure would be to make moves that most agree give you no real shot at beating the best teams in the league in a 7 games series while handcuffing your flexibility.

    You cannot evaluate the "RJ trade" in isolation. You have to evaluate the entire plan. If the Spurs do not get significant help at the Center position (does not need to be a "fantasy" player, just someone who is solid defensively and hard nosed and that fits in their role(s)) I agree the "plan" would appear to be a failure with regards to giving the team a legit shot to win.

    We do not know how this will play out, but we can speculate on one move vs another move. Truth is many things happen and things can change, but we have to wait and see who is on the floor before we can make a serious assessment. We can speculate on moves and talk about them, but we will not know until the paper is signed.

    The goal is not to win a le this year. The goal is to give the team the best shot to win one before Duncan is retired. The sooner the better, but keep the big goal in mind.

    We never know that guy the Spurs signed the other day could be good. He was a lottery pick in 2002 or something like that. They must have seen something good in him, hes been over seas playing over there since 2007. But if he isnt any good I would like to sign Zaza Pachilla not Antonio Mcdyess, Mcdyess is too old and is not going to get any better.

    the plan for 2010, dude! We need to stop making predictions about the Spurs, it does no service to the board and only causes panic or anger. And besides... We're all gonna die like two years after that!!! Ahhhhh!!
    *An aspect of the polar shift theory claims that on December 21, 2012, a shift of the axis of the Earth’s rotation will bring a host of devastating natural disasters.
    *The Orion Prophecy is a book that claims the Earth’s magnetic field will flip-flop in 2012, causing mass chaos. The truth is that the magnetic field will in fact reverse at some point (it has done so many times), but this does not happen overnight.
    *Some Hindus regard 2012 as the year an avatar -- a god in human form -- will appear on earth and usher in a new age, one presumably favorable to the Hindu faithful.
    *Meanwhile, alien devotees believe that 2012 is the year when those aliens who first gave human civilization a kick start will return to see how we’ve done. Some believe they’ll give us another boost or two if we haven’t lived up to potential, while others expect mass slavery as punishment for our slacker ways.
    *Finally, Nostradamus predicted the apocalypse for 2012, but you’ll have to wait until 2013 to see how it ends.
    All this and now you tell me that the Spurs won't beat the Lakers? I can't take it anymore! BTW, I am having a Kool-aid and exotic cheese plate party for all Spurs Talkers that agree with the original poster, please contact me to get the directions to my compound outside of Schertz, TX.
