There are so many moving parts going into the Spurs new season. Their sole remaining All-Star has been shipped to Atlanta for draft picks and an already-waived player.
Over the past couple of seasons, the Spurs have been making uncharacteristic trades, and now, for the first time in a generation, the Spurs future does not look clear. There is no Admiral, no Big Fun, to Big Three, to anchor and comfort and lead the Spurs into their umpteenth postseason, their next Finals appearance, or a 50+ win season.
The word is “opportunity” by and large. That is what the Spurs have.
