The Spurs got the defense experts Carol for three years, Terry lyles for two years, about 1 1 10,000 dollars at the price of 2 1 10,000 dollars, and rudy gay renewed the contract for two years, with 32 million dollars, which gave the team a deeper guarantee in the front line.
In addition, with the return of De Zhangtai-Murray, the Spurs' defense line will form the best combination in the league. De Zhangtai-Murray+Derrick White's suffocating defensive ability will make the opponent's outside attackers feel headache.
However, the core of the Spurs is Demar DeRozan+Adebayor. At the beginning of the new season, Adebayor's age will increase by 1 year, when he will be 34 years old, and Demar demar derozan will not take any advantage against top players. In the NBA, the ceiling of the team is often determined by the ability of the core team. Obviously, compared with the Los Angeles duo, Nuggets, Jazz, Warriors, Rockets, Trailblazers and other western strong teams, the Spurs' core contrast is at an obvious disadvantage.
The two masters of the Spurs, Aldridge and Demar demar derozan, missed the best team last season, and their ranking in today's league is 15. You can't expect the duo to shout "Spurs Championship" at the beginning of the season.
The role played by the Spurs in the new season can only be described by showstopper in the west. With the current configuration of the Spurs and the bonus of Popovich's coaching skills, the Spurs can get a playoff ticket and even complete the task. Their current lineup talent is seriously insufficient, and it is difficult to have a substantial impact on the overall pattern of the western region.
If the Western Conference team plays well enough, it will be very difficult for the Spurs to get tickets for the playoffs. Compared with young teams like Lonely Rangers and Kings, their core players are far more talented than Spurs. However, because of Popovich's existence, I still believe that the Spurs can keep their playoff qualification.
