On Wednesday, the NBA released its General Manager Survey for the 2017-18 season. GMs were asked 47 questions that involved the best teams, players, coaches, placement in the standings, and more. Some of the questions involved the San Antonio Spurs.
One question had the NBA GMs rank the top four teams in the Western Conference. Six teams received a vote, including the Spurs. However, they slotted third (20 percent), with the Golden State Warriors (39 percent) and Houston Rockets (23 percent) ahead of them. Besides Golden State, San Antonio was the only other team to receive a first-place vote.
