Embracing a tank doesn’t sound like the San Antonio Spurs even though there’s a solid case to be made that it’s the right way to proceed. Sitting at the ninth spot in the Western Conference with a strong young core in place and all of their future draft assets intact, the future is seemingly bright. For the most part, the team’s cap space is wide-open after next season and what comes next lays in the hands of franchise architect Gregg Popovich and general manager Brian Wright.
Though it doesn’t seem likely for the team to go all-in on the future instead of taking advantage of what they have in place now, it’s not out of the question.
