The Spurs were lucky to find the genie in the bottle twice with Robinson and Duncan. They were generational talents that were no brainers drafting at number one. Well, they did purposely tank the year before they drafted Duncan. Those type of players don't come around too often.
You can build any team and/or system around players like Robinson or Duncan. It's all about talent. Right now, the Spurs aren't bad enough to draft a generational talent (and it doesn't seem like any generational talents will be available right now). The Spurs only chance is via trade, but no one is going to just give up that type of talent. Unfortunately, the Spurs are stuck in the middle of the pack right now.
