[@user-lf6sw2pu6m]

Great employees thou!

[@juliocastaneda5940]

Just remember, the AT&T Center will be some other center, I believe the contract of the name of the building ends before the next season starts, so it will be something center next season. Well anyhow the Wenbanyamba era officially begins, the third era i get to see after Robinson and Duncan. While I don't think we are championship ready yet, give a few years San Antonio will be back.
