The Bucks are NBA champions for the first time in precisely five decades after a magnificently played Finals from Giannis Antetokounmpo and crew. Although Milwaukee and head coach Mike Budenholzer will be using this offseason to retool their roster and defend their title, San Antonio, his old stomping grounds, are in the process of recapturing their former glory as perennial title contenders.
Every team goes through a rebuilding phase, and whether we like to admit it or not, the Spurs are facing a critical juncture in deciding their long-term trajectory. DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, and Patty Mills are off the payroll, and with more than $50M in cap space to spend this summer, free agency could bring them a notable name like John Collins to play alongside their budding young core.
