The Spurs have a lottery pick in the upcoming draft, a ton of cap space, some good NBA players on great deals, some solid and decently promising young guys, they own all their picks and have tons of possibilities going forward. They are in a good place

A little thread on DIRK NOWITZKI PICK&ROLL BALL HANDLER from game 6 vs Suns of the 2005 playoffs The Mavs ran multiple times this Nowitzki-Dampier p&r in a short time span, certainly a creative and modern way to use the German big man That move probably had various goals: 1/5
