Think back to how you felt at the beginning of the summer. The Spurs had been knocked out of the playoffs during the first round by the eventual champions. The franchise’s superstar still faced an uncertain recovery that slowly bled into disarray. Days turned to weeks, the Draft passed, free agency seemed to come and go, and the Spurs were no closer to a solution (nor were they able to truly identify the problem).
Well, a lot has happened in the last few weeks, and now things are beginning to take focus. DeMar DeRozan has spent some time with Pop via Team USA and he’s looking like the unforeseen news of a trade has passed.
