3. San Antonio Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs are a dark-horse team that could tank a bit for the first pick. Gregg Popovich does not seem like the type of coach that will accept losing but things have changed. The Spurs are not the team that is competing for championships anymore and are in a rebuilding period.
San Antonio is viewed as one of the worst teams in the Western Conference. Dejounte Murray is beginning to show up in trade rumors and this would really send the San Antonio Spurs in a downward spiral.
