I see Duncan passing the torch to Aldridge this year when Spurs loses to the Blazers

[spurraider21]

We actually got better against GSW, since Splitter and Baynes are almost unplayable against their small lineup anyway. The main issue is that we got worse against Memphis and perhaps Houston.

to be fair, splitter was finishing games instead of Duncan in the 2013 playoff series

Really annoyed that Parker and Mills took away Splitter's chance to stay with the team, as I think the Spurs could have been great for the next six years had he stayed. But at the same time, this year could be REALLY special. And the Spurs will have a decent chance at grabbing the center they'll need in 2017 (maybe even Splitter himself). Or maybe they find a way to grab Horford next off-season and become just insane for a while longer. I would not have thought that LMA/Horford was possible, but this off-season shows me that the Spurs can recruit their asses off when they want to.

Hope you are joking.

No. I wish I was.

FUNNY we need to win three more to get to the Blazers first..... The Blazers win to win 2 more first, why don't you wait until we get there?

I am a huge Aldridge fan as well, he is classy and a very good player! But why even say when they lose when neither team is there yet?

Good bump, now I can actually prove I was a huge fan of Aldridge before he came to the Spurs and did not just jump on.

OMG - people continue to underrate Tim's impact. Someone told me that Andre Drummond was as good as Tim and you can build a team around him like the Spurs have Tim.

I hope the Spurs don't get LA. He's not some ultra young dude either. He's been in the league for 7 years. He's about to turn 29.

Is next off-season when the new TV deal is going to kick in? Also, whenever it does happen, will the Spurs have enough money for another max contract or will it not be quite that much?

Yes, and it'll depend on who sticks around. The cap's expected to jump $20 Million, and if the Spurs make enough sacrifices, they'll probably be close to having a max slot, but that would leave the cupboard even barer than it was this season. Pretty much the starters and some draft picks.

awesome bump

Lotta "smart" posters have been exposed

Duncan will be passing the torch to LMA.

Just not in the way OP was thinking.
