Spurs look awful. Are they washed?

If by washed you mean unlikely to contend for a championship, then yes. LMA has been too inconsistent, Green is just atrocious on offense, Parker's time is gone, and Ginobli is beyond his twilight. Pop has already said the team needs to get younger, and there were rumors that the Spurs were considering trading LMA, so I think it's likely there will be a shakeup to the roster this offseason, whatever that entails.

This team is still in transition, and it's a real credit (to Kawhi) that they were able to walk out of the West as the #2 seed even after Duncan's retirement, but they need to reshuffle the deck. Kawhi has carried this team, and no one around him has played consistently, even stretching back into last year.

Danny Green is fine, he's still one of the best defensive wings in the league. I also dunno if you're going to get much for him, seeing 90% of his capability comes from the fact he's playing for the Spurs.

The other pieces are real strange and awkward though. Aldridge is a long 2 iso heavy PF in a league dominated by 3 point shooters. He was an odd fit from the start and still is. I dunno who would pay big money for him. And Gasol's contract is pretty big for what he brings to the table.

I said earlier this year that the Spurs should just rebuild. Yeah they're the 2nd seed but they're going to get bounced because their offense can't hang with younger, more athletic 3 point shooting teams. Should just play Slowmo/Bertans/Murray more often.

Yeah, that was what I meant. I agree with your post.
