Why not trade Duncan?

Though he would look good in Red, White, and Blue

Okay after a long plane flight, this is how it goes fab only in your own mind. Pop's job hasn't changed as Executive VP to President of Basketball Ops. I say that because as VP, he has ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS, been in charge of all things Basketball when it comes to the Spurs. It's like Bill Gates. He's no longer CEO of Microsoft, but is now known as Chief Architect. But everyone knows, Bill is still the power. It should be pretty obvious but I guess you needed an explanation, so I gave you one.
Also, you make it seem like the status quo for the other power teams are set. Far from it. We're about to see if an old Boston team with an infusion of youth can take down a slightly younger LAL team with some injury issues and a fairly weak bench. If you looked at the contracts of those 2 teams in particular, they ain't all that. Spurs have to make some moves but the drastic changes that you and some other people call for will only bring 1 thing, the death knell of the Spurs and possible re-location to another city far,far, away.

Really, 4 pages about such ?

sorry, but this is just stupid.

Blow up because you can't win a le? then 20+ of the teams every year should be blown up, because no one but the lakers and the top three east teams had a chance according to most.

Next, we are improving next year for sure:

1) Splitter
2) Hill and Blair will be better next year
3) trade RJ as an expiring for a piece that fits better
4) 20th pick

Spurs may not be better next year. Manu and Duncan will be older, 20th pick may not work out, Splitter may not come, injuries can occur, too many ? to make any claims about being better or even being worse.
