Quality teams attract quality players. The San Antonio Spurs have almost two decades of continued basketball excellence. Building around a foundation that focuses on a culture of professionalism and leadership, the Spurs are the envy of franchises around the league. This culture of excellence has made the team an ideal destination for experienced veterans looking to go on a championship run.
The Spurs have had a bevy of significant signings. This glut of riches has made trivia like the one below possible.
Only three players have totaled 10,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 1,500 assists in last 10 years:

Pau Gasol and David Lee join a Spurs team that has a veteran Tony Parker, LaMarcus Aldridge in his prime, and MVP candidateKawhi Leonard, an individual that can potentially dominate the league in years to come.
Although no one can replace Tim Duncan, the signing of Gasol and Lee can make the post-Duncan years a lot easier. Both of these veterans are already NBA champions and their years of experience can only help a team that values players who can fit into their system.
By signing two big men that can not only rebound and score, but facilitate on offense as well, the Spurs are looking to replicate their 2014 championship run and show the rest of the NBA how basketball is meant to be played.
