While DeMar DeRozan was the best player for the San Antonio Spurs last season, questions are being raised about whether he can lead a team to the championship all by himself.

While DeRozan is still lethal from the mid-range and can score 20+ points a game, NBA trade rumors indicate that the Spurs might consider blowing it all up in case they want to go into a full-rebuild around their younger core.


#4 Bryn Forbes

Bryn Forbes has blossomed exceptionally well with the San Antonio Spurs in the last two seasons. The 27-year-old has averaged more than 11 points in the last two years and has shown the ability to shoot the 3s.

However, Forbes's lack of length at the defensive end could be a liability for the Spurs. With Dejounte Murray and Lonnie Walker offering much better backcourt defense than Forbes, it won't be surprising if the Spurs let Forbes walk away in the free agency.


#5 Marco Belinelli

Marco Belinelli has been a useful contributor to the San Antonio Spurs in the last two seasons. Though his numbers dipped last season, he's still a threat to the opposition from the 3-point line.

The 34-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent in the upcoming off-season. Considering the demand for shooters in the league, the San Antonio Spurs might not be able to retain him for the next season.
