Now that the Finals are over, the offseason has officially begun. It’s the time for some stars to hint at wanting to be traded and for teams that underachieved to start looking for bold plans for improvement. Fans will work the trade machine and will watch scouting videos of prospects to raise their hopes about the future. And through it all, the Spurs will just cruise.
Through a combination of luck and planning, San Antonio finds itself in a position to not have to make any big decisions or changes in direction. After a few years in limbo, the path forward is laid out, at least in the short term.
