I actually think Duncan has played much less C of late though. I'm sure he wants to bruise for the last couple years of his career...And now he has no one below him to give him rest there.

Those are all good points. Splitter did take on a lot of the defense and the contact up front and has helped Duncan to be fresh in the playoffs and has helped extend his career. SA has to replace him, whether they get LA or not. They either took a big gamble on signing LA or they have a contingency plan. With SA's history, I'd bet on the latter.

I agree; the Cavs will come out of the East again next season hopefully injury free regarding our major impact players. I just hope they don't burn anyone out trying to get a high seed; I don't think we need to focus on that.

I'd like to see the Warriors again in the finals and definitely not see the Spurs even if Duncan/Parker/Ginobili are a year older.

It shouldn't be hard to get a high East seed, honestly. Atlanta won't win more games than us again this year. Bank on it. A healthy, cleaner Cavs team is a 60-win team. Could be 70-win team if we can bring in Mo and someone to back up LeBron.

If the Spurs don't get LMA I am absolutely not worried about them. It seems their time has passed.

I wouldn't go quite that far, but if they don't get Aldridge or a suitable replacement, losing Splitter will hurt that team. He's an underrated, versatile big with good vision who kept the ball jumping when he was on the floor.

The Spurs aren't going completely off the cliff as long as Duncan is still Tim Duncan... and he is still very good. But giving away Splitter and then not getting the guy they had pegged would be the first serious hit they've taken in a while.
 
But they won't. Instead they'll be left with unmotivated Rondo and Cousins, after just trading away last years #8 pick and a future pick.

You know what, honestly, when they strike out on Matthews, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Kings throw a ton of money at J.R. Smith. George Karl connection and whatnot.

Oh you're definitely right about Duncan but even his greatness can't make up for the steady decline of Parker and Manu and now the lack of depth on the roster after losing a couple players. Still a playoff team but it's not a team I'm worried about. Not everybody can get beat Father Time like Duncan has. It's nice they have Leonard and Green locked up though.
