I have thought of that ever since last year pretty much. The Spurs are now in risk of missing the playoffs for the first time since the year before they selected Duncan, but more than that, they are looking at the first prolonged rebuild in their franchise in what seems like more than 30 years without a clear plan on how to get the next one. They essentially went from Gervin to Robinson, to Duncan, to Kawhi seamlessly. And I am not sure they will be in a position to select the next one in the next couple of years.
It wasn't quite as smooth for the Mavs, but it's pretty damn close.
