4 Spurs who won't be back after NBA Finals disappointment
FanSided • • sports
Key Points:
- The San Antonio Spurs lost Game 5 of the NBA Finals to the Knicks but gained valuable insights about their core roster and future potential as a Western Conference contender.
- The Spurs plan to trim veteran players who saw little to no action in Game 5, focusing on developing younger talent and maintaining a strong, competitive team.
- Kelly Olynyk is unlikely to return next season due to limited playing time, age, and the presence of his replacement, Luke Kornet, on the roster.
- Harrison Barnes may not be re-signed as the Spurs consider younger or more cost-effective options despite his consistency and recent health.
- Bismack Biyombo and Jordan McLaughlin are also expected to be moved on from, with the Spurs favoring younger players like Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle to fill backup roles.
