The Championship Window is very open in San Antonio

From David Aldridge's Morning Tip (NBA.com)
Perhaps this was the time to point out that the President of the United States had been delighted to answer my questions.
But it was too late. Gregg Popovich did not reveal any inner angst or conflict at the prospect of life without his three superstar San Antonio Spurs -- Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. The question was an idea, not an opinion: perhaps Pop could sleep a little easier these days, knowing that he now had a near-complete bridge to the post-Timmeh era with LaMarcus Aldridge and Kawhi Leonard, along with sharpshooting Danny Green, all signed for the next four seasons at least (Leonard's deal runs a fifth year).
Maybe, with the angst of keeping the NBA's most successful franchise of the last two decades going well into a third now lessened, Popovich could breathe a little easier?
"My life will stay the same," Pop said last week. "When those three guys leave, my life will stay the same. It's basketball. It's not my life. It's basketball."
