Spurs’ ‘wonderful season’ leads to summer uncertainty
The old champion sat in the corner locker at the FedEx Forum late Friday night, vanquished and spent. He performed his perfunctory media obligations, answering in a low tone a few questions about one of the most disappointing playoff ousters of his Hall of Fame career. And then, Tim Duncan stood up, walked toward the door and into the most uncertain offseason of his life.

 Spurs mauled in Memphis
The slogan is plastered all over billboards and buildings and the broad side of the bars on Beale Street. Believe Memphis! One win away from a stunning first-round upset, brought nearer by a bullying 104-86 victory in Game 4 on Monday night, it’s safe to say Memphis will believe anything now.

 Parker's anxiety a Spurs advantage



Tony Parker might be right. Maybe this will be the “last real chance” for him to win a title with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili.

But the finality of Parker's statement this week says something else. If Parker thinks this is it, then Parker likely thinks this is it for him, too.

Which could help the Spurs this season.

 Spurs reach out to Ferry



The Spurs could tab a familiar name to fill a void in their front office.

Team officials have reached out to Danny Ferry to gauge his interest in returning to the organization he left in 2005 to become the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Ferry, who played the final three seasons of his career with the Spurs and still maintains a house in San Antonio, retired after the 2002-03 campaign to join the team's front office. He spent two seasons in middle management under general manager R.C. Buford and president of basketball operations Gregg Popovich before leaving in June 2005 to take the Cleveland job.

 Spurs want Danny Ferry back

A couple of quickie updates from what might be the first offseason in NBA history to generate a GM carousel that seemingly never stops spinning:

The Spurs, according to sources with knowledge of the team’s plans, are lobbying Danny Ferry to come back to the organization where he began his front-office career and hope to convince him to commit to rejoining the organization in the coming days or weeks.

 Spurs Sign Ginobili to Contract Extension


The San Antonio Spurs are Tim Duncan’s team. I don’t think anyone would argue that fact. But Manu Ginobili is definitely the key to the Spurs success for the past few years. As Duncan’s output declines slightly due to age the Spurs have been leaning more and more on Ginobili to carry the offensive load and spark the team defensively.

 Spurs suddenly very thin at point

For the duration of his acclaimed career, Tim Duncan has harbored a secret. It is a desire so outlandish that, until now, he dared not verbalize it.

Like an actor who yearns to be a rock star, the greatest power forward in NBA history has always dreamed of making his living another way.

 Spurs' Ginobili will be in demand

Mike Monroe

When the Hornets made a fourth-quarter run at the Spurs in Friday's game at the AT&T Center, slicing a double-digit lead to five points, Manu Ginobili decided it was time to put away a team whose collective resolve has been membrane-thin for weeks.

 Keith Bogans Will Sign With Spurs


Chris Tomasson

Free-agent swingman Keith Bogans will sign a one-year contract with the San Antonio Spurs, sources confirmed Monday to FanHouse.

 Tim Duncan... what a guy
I was reading around on Sportsnet, and Tim Duncan has become the fifth player in National Basketball Association history to win eight straight first team all-stars, starting with his rookie season.
