The Spurs are one of the most consistent franchises of all time, in the past 40 years they only missed the playoffs what 4 or 5 times? Sure they are in a 'down' period but the culture there is set.
Are the Spurs done being a competitive franchise
- Thread starter JesusFOREVER
- Start date
He reverted back to just showing up to practices and hooping every now and then
They have some decent young pieces they could become a playoff team again but as far as being perennial contenders those days are long over.
Guys like Duncan don’t come around often and to contend every year you need a top 10 all time player like him.

The problem with this list is I'd imagine a lot of these guys careers might have turned out a lot differently if they started out under the Spurs development instead of Sacramento, Minnesota, Orlando, Knicks especially the big men.
Nah Duncan fell back from coaching to spend more time with his kids.
Yes. I don't think they will get this generation to buy into the "Sacrifice Salary for Team Benefit" mentality.
The Spurs have some very solid pieces and Keldon Johnson looks like a future stud for them. They don't have that centerpiece player they need but all they have to do is get lucky just one time in an upcoming draft

Crazy to think they would have still been elite now and at least for another 5 yrs into the future if they had some how kept Kawhi
Uncle Dennis low key saved us from their boring ass competence

The NBA is worst than the music industry with that shyt.

and we let him go
To be fair franchises with prolonged success like that do seem to never get back on top of take forever. The NFL teams listed are the case. The Celtics ruled the NBA for 30 years then took almost 20 to come back. I'm a Patriots fan ready for some 7-10 (so weird typing an uneven number) seasons for the next 15 years

Lets look at the facts, theyre an old team full of role players, fringe all stars, and young guys who dont really show flashes of stardom
nobody wants to play for Pop Buford and their military way of running things anymore, especially in 2021 where players can basically go wherever they want
the rest of the NBA has finally accepted that Europe and the rest of the world produces actual all star level talent and scouting them/throwing them the bag so they dont have that advantage
San Antonio is a very small market and no free agents want to live or play there
Instead of making the heir to Popovich, Tim Duncan, respected Spurs and NBA Legend who players will actually listen to and give a chance, they chose a woman
im putting the Big Boss call on San Antonio, ITS OVER
you landed Duncan and Robinson and stole a chip in 05 but that string of luck is never happening again, the Spurs are now the NBA’s raiders, cowboys, dolphins, etc franchises who will not do anything of note for 30+ years withfans talkin bout “Remember Tim Duncan?
what yall think?
Literally one of the 5 youngest teams in the league
The olderst player they have under contract right now is 26 year old Derrick White
Also Tim said after his one year of being an assistant he didn't want to be a coach. So I guess Pop is supposed to MAKE him coach
What did the spurs do to you for you to make a thread like this ?

Hell Yeah
Back to irrelevance without the help of the NBA.
The mavs haven't won a playoff series in a decade and you talking about irrelevance
I think you was still black the last time they won a playoff series
Im not betting against these nikkas returning to prominence 
Man if they had Kawhi with that roster, they'd be a problem. Probably a couple of pieces away from title contention in that case
