Surviving Manu Ginobili's Injury

They will win enough games to make the playoffs.
There are enough weak teams in the league to get enough wins.

Making the playoffs will not be the best thing for the team.
Getting a top lottery pick next year is the better option.

The more I think about it, although there is a slim chance missing the narrowly the playoffs will translate to a top 6 draft pick. It still might be the bettor option in the long run. Let's face it if we do make the playoffs as a low seed (which is probably the case) and are matched up against a top seed (OKC or Lakers) chances are high it will be a short series, yeah we could make it compe ive but more than likely we will be out in the 1st round. With the Spurs history of nothing less than a ring being a succesful season. Yeah the more I think about it missing the playoffs could be the better alternative.

How Managment , coaching staff and players go about that is another thing. I certainly am not for tanking.. or mailing it in. That sets a bad precedent and is so against the Spurs corporate culture.

To me, this seems like the perfect time to rebuild. Manu has a broken hand, and is reaching old man status. Duncan is over the hill and quickly sprinting down it. Parker has parked his potential and is only looking downward from here.

It is time to rebuild, and even the most determined Spurs fans know this is true.

We have started with Kawhi...a nice, dedicated defensive piece to a long-term puzzle.

We have Gary Neal who is a deadly shooter, and 6th man for many years to come.

Splitter is an emerging big with above average defensive talents and developing offensive game.

JA... what I would consider a tweener, can score at a nice rate. That is...of course, if he can actually put the ball through the twine. Lately, he has shown he cannot.

Regardless. This team is on its last legs, and it is time to refurbish and rebuild.

Keep the old to teach the new. Bring in the new to succeed the old.

Bump . . .

I can't believe how many of you fell for this again. When will you people ever learn? As long as the big three and Pop are still around, this team will find a way to remain compe ive.

I think this is what made his scoring dip. He never really was the same after this. Just glad he stepped it up in 14'

Manu will not play on the World Cup, there is a lot of problems with Argentina NT right now, corruption type problems...
