After the San Antonio Spurs' early exit from the 2015 NBA playoffs, speculation swelled regarding a potential roster reshuffle. With 39-year-old Tim Duncan and 37-year-old Manu Ginobili both having finished the final year of their respective contracts—and the latter's ongoing health issues making his return uncertain—it appeared as though the post-Big Three era was set to begin.
Yet, with Duncan and Ginobili reportedly set to return—per Bleacher Report's Ric Bucher—the idea that the Spurs are in for an identity metamorphosis seems like a long shot. It's this very roster—add and subtract a few marginal pieces—that has continuously won 50 games and seen two Finals and one title over the past three years.
