Why does one team consistently get so lucky?
Don't get me wrong, Chris Paul isn't the superstar he once was, but what about the fact that he and Stephen Castle went to the Spurs when they already had Tre Jones?
Heck, all of a sudden, they're on track to have a highly productive backcourt with Wenby as the centerpiece of their entire franchise.
That's how NBA championship teams start, and that's how the Spurs will do it again…
