The Spurs really shot themselves in the foot last summer by extending his contract for another four years at a still-almost-untradeable price instead of letting his original contract run another year and dealing him prior to last February's trade deadline.
It's been pretty obvious for a while that he isn't the missing piece to their puzzle (if their even is one). Then again, due to their great run this season, they may not even have dealt him in February. Hindsight is 20/20, I guess, although there were most likely better guys available.
