Spurs just solved their biggest flaw without making a single trade
Mitch Johnson | Alonzo Adams-Imagn ImagesDespite failing to make a move at the NBA trade deadline, the San Antonio Spurs may have already solved their biggest problem. Spurs fans were no doubt hoping for a trade for an upgrade at power forward.
Obviously, that didn't happen, but San Antonio still managed to improve that position without making a single deal. Before the trade deadline, Coach Mitch Johnson made a long-overdue move to start Julian Champagnie at the four instead of Harrison Barnes.
Barnes was in a months-long slump, with his struggles weighing down the starting five. Despite his reputation as a streaky player, Champagnie has been better on both ends of the floor this season.
