Just as many observers were prepared to declare the end of an era for the San Antonio Spurs, the team added Richard Jefferson and rookie DeJuan Blair and are once again looking to be championship contenders once again. With Tim Duncan and Tony Parker leading the way for fellow veterans Manu Ginobili, Michael Finley, Antonio McDyess, and Roger Mason, some may label the Spurs as old, but others will call them experienced and a team still to be reckoned with.

San Antonio did appear to be slipping last season. Manu Ginobili could not remain healthy the whole season, Tim Duncan seemed to be showing his age, and the lack of quality bench players simply provided no support to the banged-up front line. Adding all of that up, it was no surprise that the quicker and hungrier Dallas Mavericks dealt the Spurs a rare first-round playoff series loss.

Team masterminds, coach Gregg Popovich and General Manager R.C. Buford, were forced back to the drawing board to find some reinforcements if the Spurs were to regain their championship identity going forward. The brilliant tandem was seemingly able to make all the right decisions while maneuvering to finding the ideal complementary parts to help San Antonio were desperately needed.

The Spurs' offseason activity included Richard Jefferson being brought over from Milwaukee to provide a slashing, scoring force on the wing. Additionally, while 36 teams surprisingly decided to pass, San Antonio grabbed Pitt big man DeJuan Blair with the 37th pick in the draft – arguably the steal of the entire event. Not yet satisfied, management also went out to get a pair of hard-working veterans, Antonio McDyess and Theo Ratliff, to help out Duncan in the paint.

San Antonio had once again pulled one over on rest of the league, just as they have always done during the decade which has brought the small-market Spurs three world championships – just one behind the star-studded Lakers. The dynamic Buford-Popovich duo has once again prepared the Spurs to compete with the Lakers on even terms in the chase for the NBA Championship.

Given the talent and experience already on the roster, and if the newcomers can hold their own while delivering solid performances where needed, the Spurs should still be able to enter the postseason with a great chance of knocking off the Lakers. Get your tickets now, and get on over to the AT&T Center to watch the San Antonio Spurs rekindle the championship flame that has burned so brightly in the past.
