Mind you, the fact that the Spurs organization is an elite franchise in the league goes without question. They are the cream of the crop when it comes to executives and coaching. Their roster tho....

The Spurs rode the Tim Duncan surprise bonanza as far as they could POSSIBLY take it. Now David Robinson been gone, Timmy gone, Manu and Tony are extras from The Walking Dead....so you basically got Aldridge (fringe star at best), Gasol (he's on the next season of The Walking Dead) and....DeJonte Murray?

That's not fucking with the Rockets or the Warriors in the foreseeable future. Minny is on the quiet come-up....and the Spurs have NEVER been a top free agent destination.

You know who comes to the Spurs? Late career ring chasers. Free agents? They choosing the big markets.

So that means that, if you about to lock in for a 5-7 year deal....you're basically going to have to beat the odds and Tim Duncan the lottery again to have a chance at a chip.

Now, mind you....he would have been the face of the franchise, playing for a premier coach in a rabid fan base....but you not getting a chip.
