The Spurs have recently played solid Spurs basketball. Not only does their record reflect it, but their defensive rating points to something going right. And with so much competition in the Western Conference, every game counts.
With December 15th past, teams are allowed to trade most players who were signed this summer. This is the time when contenders look for complementary pieces and the bottom teams unload assets for future prospects.
This week PtR contributors Marilyn Dubinski, Bruno Passos, Jesus Gomez, Mark Barrington, and editor-in-chief J.R. Wilco discuss the Western Conference talent pool, possible trades for the Spurs, Pop’s rise to the 4th all-time winningest NBA coach, and some comparisons of this season’s Big 3 to the men who defined what it means to be THE Big 3 in San Antonio.
