took you only a few hours to un-retire eh?

Props to our FO for always wanting to win now instead of building for the future. Spurs have been old for as long as I can remember and that focus on actual skill rather than potential, in combination with drafting the big 3, is what gave us those championships. I don't believe in rebuilding, even after Duncan retires, if it means deliberately going into tanking mode and not caring about winning games. Getting young talent is of course a good thing but having good players is what really matters.
The Spurs Need To Sign Splitter....
The Spurs Need To trade RJ for another Small Forward Who can fit The spurs sytem better.
Hopefully Sign A Decent Big Who Can Alter Shots, and Rebound.
The Spurs Need 1 Or 2 3 pt shooters, and At Least 1 Solid Big Who can Help out Duncan, and Be A Presence in the Middle. If We Do do not get These things we will not Win next year.
Unless we can get a perimeter ball-hawk, and a mobile shotblocker there's no way we can compete. Period.
Our defense is not championship calibur.
Agree with asking this question as the trade deadline looms...Who's to say we're not shopping TP or RJ...The only problem with that is team cohesion if bring in new players mid-season..
spurs have to rebuild. tim is old, manu and parker are breaking down or broke. the spurs have never been able big time free agent and chance of getting a great player so late in the draft are slim. trade is inlikey
Some think staying pat is the way to go. I just want to remind those that do of Detroit. There is a time where you have to reload even though having the same core that got you some championships.
Every championship team had to retool or even completely rebuild to get back there. I just don't see how it might be different for the Spurs.
Tim is old but by no means is he not capable of giving at least 15ppg and 10 rpg...As you saw last year, the Spurs relied more on the scoring from the bench as well as all TP and Manu..the Spurs problem was the 3 point shot and defensive positions. Had we had a capable 3 point shooter (in the playoffs) and another big (who is not undersized), I'm sure the result would have been different.
Is their window of oppurtunity closing fast? Yes. Are they done? No. Granted, finding good players in the later rounds is almost impossible, but clearly the Spurs have the knack of finding those diamonds in the rough. I'd have a little more optimism before you start taking about rebuilding.
When did the Spurs rebuild the last 15 years? We were good in the Robinson era, he got injured one season, we won the lottery and got Duncan. Is that retooling or rebuilding? Then I'm all for it. Trading all star caliber veterans is another thing.
About Detroit: Spur's FO >>> Piston's FO.
Pistons traded Billups and Dice for A.I. and after that they haven't had a true PG. They have been one of the most unbalanced team in the nba with too many scoring combo guards and in the draft last summer they drafted 3 small forwards while already having Prince. (Jerebko was a steal in the second round and started 73 games but why not get a true pg, pf or c with one of the picks?). The way to destroy a team is to keep the old players that decline the most (Prince and Big Ben), get rid of your skilled PG and acquire a bunch of new players that play the same position, plus relying on the powers of Kwame Brown.
It's not like the Pistons have done nothing, it's more like what they decided to do and what they decided not to do was STUPID.
It's simple: always try to get the best available players but make sure you have a mix of positions and skill sets. If the players you have suck ( o Roger Mason Jr) then by all means get rid of them. If they still contribute on a high level ( o big 3) then keep them. Also try to find skilled new players that fit the team's needs.
