What the Spurs need is a player like Millsap who is a perfect big against small-ball teams like Miami. We should also add an off-the-bench playmaker/shotmaker because Manu is ing done. I'm not sure about our cap space, but if Tiago accepts a reasonable amount (6 mil/year), it's possible to get these players this offseason.
Duncan confirms he is not retiring yet. He will be back
MIAMI — After losing in the Finals for the first time in his storied career, Spurs big man Tim Duncan indicated that he planned to return for the 2013-14 season.

Manu isn't done. He was just tired. That is why I hope TMAC resigns with the Spurs. I don't expect him to be ALLSTAR TMAC but from what he showed, he is still that playmaker TMAC. With him and Manu coming off the bench shooting and facilitating, that would be a great duo.

Good the spurs will be back, I thought that was the end of the franshise
Old fart that made first team all NBA carried us in game 6 and 7 and is in the best shape of his life..
Manu needs to come back for the minimum.
Duncan is 37. Ginobili is 35. Parker is 31. I really like Kawhi Leonard and he will be an excellent player, but it's over.
Really, do you know that Magic was 30 and Kareem was 42! when they made their Finals appearance in '89 when the league was lot tougher. Dude, the Blazers will suck again next year as well.
Again what is over????
Over is not winning a le or bust to me...
Tyreke Evans/OJ Mayo and Paul Millsap.
With his role downgraded.. KL needs to be the new 3rd member of the big 3..
The chance to win a le is over. You can still make the playoffs.
That team also had James Worthy, Byron Scott, and A.C. Green. And they lost in the Finals to boot.
me too. while watching Duncan after the loss.Good the spurs will be back, I thought that was the end of the franshise
I still think they have a shot.
Can Holt spend a little bit more for a really good addition to the roster?
tlong said it was over in 2006.
With all due respect, people have said this for years - and they were a few seconds from winning it this year. So, that doesn't hold a lot of water. The age argument you brought up is all well and good, but the 37 year old just had his best year in the past 7, and the 31 year old was a legit MVP contender this year. The 35 y/o's contributions this year are very replaceable.
They might not get there because other teams play better, but it won't be because they're "too old."
Leonard is going to have a break-out season.
Magic and Scott were injured during that playoff run. And the Lakers still manage to make the Finals in '91 with Scott and Worthy battling injuries and just a 32 year old Magic carrying the load.
Spurs aren't done. Unless Duncan just falls off a huge cliff next season, the Spurs will be just as good if not better next year.
I've been saying their shot was over for a few years now, so I'm not even going to guess anymore. The Spurs will remain compe ive as long as Tim still wears the uniform.
Manu is done as part of the Big Three, it's Kawhi's turn now. Unless Manu can tweak his game like Allen as he ages, he's just going to battle more and more injuries in the next season. Let's remember Manu has been playing non-stop basketball since he was a teenager, and he has been representing Argentina since the late 90s. He's just human and all those games are taking their toll. I want Manu to come back of course because he deserves to retire as a Spur.
RU ALL KIDDING ME?
We just lost a championship. Leading the series 1-0, 2-1, 3-2!
Game after game afterg game ppl were disappearing. From having the best bench to the 2 man contributing ...
no Miami was not better then this spurs squad, not in June.
And again Heat team so in y and won by in luck. Now LeBron is God and Tim is loser again.
Last year I said that I do not belive in this team and never will again. Well this year after WCF I was almost sure we had this . Nope/
Gino is done. And for the playoffs we do not have a good squad tbh.
What I said b4 the finals is the spurs should not let go and play guards game but they did and it was going quite well for us until game 6 and in lucky bounce.
Parker got injuredThat also could be a reason we did not finished Heat. One additional day of break would give us more fuel. Do not tell me about LeBron and his minutes. The guys got different diet for sakes.
Tim had his last good season.
next year you will have Clipps with better coaching. Still GS, OKC, Chi, Indy, Grizz and who the knows who else?
Screw that . I don't know if I ever watch this finals again. I'm done as a fan in a way.
My spurs got burned big time
Definitely agree. Spurs should be in a similar position next year, at least top 3 in the West with a chance to get back to the Finals.
It's difficult for teams to get to the Finals 4 years in a row so not sure if Miami gets back.
OKC will be the biggest impediment to another ring IMO barring any major shakeups from other teams.
Pop needs to step back and let Leonard become a playmaker on this team and to stop relying on Manu being the only other facilitator.
Spurs will be contenders again in 2014. Still pretty ridiculous.
Yeah, the vet minimum thing goes with a diminished role. And it's not that KL needs to be the new one, this postseason we all watched that transition take place.
Knowing Pop, he will ship the future of this franchise (Kawhi) off to another team and he will own the Spurs for years to come.
They will be top 3 in the west next year again..
Lots of teams make the playoffs we will be contenders..
