It will be tough for the Spurs but they can manage. The South Western Division is a tough division, at one point last season, all of them we're at .500 on winning percentage.

It's not gonna be easy for them to win another title. Hopefully they can duplicate their success in late 1990's to mid 2000's. They've almost created a dynasty back then.

Indeed, the main challenges are:

1. Finish the regular season convincingly and secure home-court advantage.

2. Stay Healthy going to the post-season

I hope the Spurs do well this year. I always like them as a team. I think everybody wants Splitter to do well and everybody would love to see Duncan and Ginobili continue to play well.

I'd love to see them do well too since I respect the heck out of Duncan, Popovich and their organization as a whole. But if there is one statistic that is telling is that their regular season wins have decreased every year for something like the last 5 years going from 63 wins in 2005-2006 to 50 wins last season. Their pickups are nice- Splitter, Hill, etc. but their core three guys are all injury prone and/or older.
I think they will be a 6 or 7 seed and will be out in the first round of the playoffs this year.

According to Eva Longoria, San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker wants to "relocate" to New York. That started a storm but I do not know if Tony and Eva will just be purchasing a house or a suite in New York. She did not make it clear by the way.

It seems the San Antonio Spurs are considering Danny Ferry for an administrative position within the Spurs organization.

Ferry won a championship with the Spurs on 2003 before departing for Cleveland to be the Cavalier's eventual GM.

Danny Ferry will be the next San Antonio Spurs Vice President of Basketball Operations after his predecessor, Dell Demps vacated the post for a General Manager position with the New Orleans Hornets.

The San Antonio Spurs have been working out guard Thomas Gardner and Cleveland Cavaliers restricted free agent Jawad Williams.

If the San Antonio Spurs decide to invite Williams to training camp; they will have to make an offer sheet to the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Cavaliers to respond by matching it with a contract sheet.

I will be happy to see Tiago finally make his debut as well. However, I truly think we will see the Spurs fall from grace this year. Splitter isn't talented enough to put them over the top, not with all of the injury issues for their main 3.
Plus, Splitter, like most players will likely take a season to acclimate himself to the NBA rules and its details

When will the camp start?

Am so excited about Tiago..

Training camp will start late in September for some teams or within the early weeks of October for some teams again.
