The Spurs season has been over for a few days now, and before moving on to the offseason, it’s always good to look back to see what it all meant. Surely as more time passes, there will be new revelations, but there are some lessons that seem obvious even now.
The main theme going into this past season for the Spurs could be summarized as “development and relevancy don’t have to be mutually exclusive.” San Antonio went in with a lot of young players, but also some veterans in key roles. The idea, as it has been for the past three years, was to straddle the line between rebuilding and staying competitive.
