For perhaps the first time in franchise history, the San Antonio Spurs have dominated a free agency period. After contorting themselves through the economic labyrinth of the league’s current collective bargaining agreement, the Spurs are nearly done creating what is arguably their deepest roster ever. The level of talent in their big man rotation alone is preposterous, with LaMarcus Aldridge now backed by David West, the very player many viewed as their fallback had Aldridge gone with another team.
For years, the Spurs have put together championship rosters around their Big Three, putting role players in positions to excel as they supported the team’s stars.
