Now that the San Antonio Spurs are NBA champions once again, it is time for them to answer many questions about their 2014-15 squad. Will Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and coach Gregg Popovich return to the team after winning a fifth NBA title?
San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt believes that Duncan and Ginobili will return to the team and will play more than one more season. San Antonio Express-News' Dan McCarney spoke to Holt:
"Tim and Manu [Ginobili] are going to play until they die, so I think we are in pretty good shape," Holt said. "Tim and Manu want to play until they die, somewhat sincerely, actually.”
Other than Duncan and Ginobili, San Antonio have to answer questions about whether or not, the 65-year-old, Popovich will return to the bench for the Spurs. Popovich spoke before Game 5 and said his current feeling is that he would like to return next season.
"I don't feel tired. I mean, I'm tired today, but I mean in general. I'd like to continue to coach.”
The Spurs are now NBA champions and would have to be considered the favorites in the Western Conference if all the pieces stay in place. The Spurs have put together a dynasty that has stretched over the past 16 years in the form of five NBA titles.
With his fifth NBA title, Popovich sits behind only Phil Jackson and Red Auerbach for most championships as a head coach. Ginobili has said he plans to return to the Spurs next season and Duncan has until June 24 to activate his player option in his contract.
