While a portion of San Antonio Spurs fans believe the team to be stuck in their ways of the past, recent free agent acquisitions have shown that general manager R.C. Buford is trending toward the future of the game. As seen by the roster construction of the 2019 NBA Champion Toronto Raptors, versatility on both ends of the floor is absolutely necessary to generating winning basketball.
The signing of former-Celtic Marcus Morris – along with the sign-and-trade for forward DeMarre Carroll – proves that Buford is building this team for the modern game.
