Amid all the chaos, it's been easy to miss the fact that the San Antonio Spurs, your current NBA champions, are bringing back their entire team.
Tim Duncan kicked things off, very quietly opting into the final year of his contract at $10.3 million. Next, the Spurs re-signed two key roll players, Boris Diaw (3 years, $22.5 million) and Patty Mills (3 years, $12 million). The rest of the team's core - Parker, Ginobli, Leonard, Green, Splitter - are still under contract.
Yesterday, news broke that coach Gregg Popovich agreed to a multi-year extension with the team he's now guided to five championships.
Today marks the first day teams can officially sign free agents, so the dominos should (hopefully) start to fall soon. But unless LeBron can create another super team, it'll be the Spurs who will - yet again - enter the regular season as the heavy favorites.
