The San Antonio Spurs’ 2017-18 season is almost here. It’s the latest year under head coach Gregg Popovich, who will eye a sixth NBA championship. It would add to the titles he won in 1999, 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014.
This season’s Spurs will have a slightly different look. They added Rudy Gay, Joffrey Lauvergne and Brandon Paul in free agency. All three should provide bench roles, with the potential for Gay to start if things align properly. The team let go of Jonathon Simmons (Orlando Magic), Dewayne Dedmon (Atlanta Hawks), David Lee and Joel Anthony in the offseason.
