I think Tim will always be the cornerstone of this franchise but I also think people don't realize that last year was the year Tony really established himself as the second franchise player of the spurs.
If one of those two has to be MVP in the future, it will be Tony. Tim will little by little let (it has already begon) TP take care of the job in the RS and will be there when it matters most. That's in the order of things.
Last year, and last PO, Tony reached another level that gave him a lot of confidence. You can see something happened when you see him play with the french NT. He's not the same player that he was for example last year with France during preparation games in Japan.
There's something new that is coming out of him and that Spurs fans and also players will see next year. He's gonna become a real natural leader next season.
