交易和伤病改变了马刺队的“青春风暴”
在很大程度上，马刺队一直被认为是一支“年轻”的球队。事实上，赛季开始时队中超过30岁的球员只有克里斯·保罗和哈里森·巴恩斯，都是休赛期引进的。
在交易截止日之前，马刺队的首发阵容为克里斯·保罗(39岁)，哈里森·巴恩斯(32岁)，德文·瓦塞尔(24岁)，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(自从进入首发阵容以来一直是20岁)，以及维克托·文班亚马(赛季初20岁，但现在已经21岁)，平均年龄为27.2岁。
但自从通过交易得到达龙·福克斯(27岁)以及文班亚马受伤导致签下俾斯麦·比永博(32岁)后，这个平均年龄已经跃升至30.8岁。
现在看来，达龙·福克斯可能在一周内接受手指手术，并缺席本赛季剩余的比赛。这就引出了一个问题——为什么不在本赛季剩余的比赛中释放马刺队年轻核心的天赋呢？
想象一下，由韦斯利(21岁)，斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(20岁)，瓦塞尔(24岁)，索汉(21岁)和马穆克拉什维利(25岁)组成的首发五人，平均年龄为22.2岁。这可能会遇到一些困难，但也有很大的成长空间。
让克里斯·保罗、巴恩斯和比永博从替补席上站出来，与凯尔登·约翰逊一起，并给予马拉基·布兰纳姆和哈里森·英格拉姆一些急需的状态调整和上场时间，可以在多个层面扩大球队的天赋储备。
让比永博和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔一起在场上打一些时间，这样这位冉冉升起的新秀可以继续发展他的挡拆配合。
球队拥有一个独特的机会来培养年轻球员的技能，或者至少确定他们是否真的是球队未来的一部分。

Open Thread: How the Spurs starting line-up has changed over the last month
Trade and injury has altered the Spurs “youth movement”
For the most part, the Spurs have been referred to as a “young” team. In fact, the only players over thirty at the start of the season were Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes, the offseason acquisitions.
With a starting lineup of Paul (39), Barnes (32), Devin Vassell (24), Stephon Castle (who has been 20 since being inserted in the the starting line-up), and Victor Wembanyama (who started the year at 20 but has since turned 21), the average age of the starting five going into the trade deadline was 27.2.
But since the trade that brought De’Aaron Fox (27) and the injury to Wemby that led to the signing of Bismack Biyombo (32), the average has jumped to 30.8.
Now it appears there is a chance that within week De’Aaron Fox may have finger surgery and be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Which leads to this question — why not unleash the young core of Spurs talent for the remainder of the season?
Imagine a starting five of Wesley (21), Castle (20), Vassell (24), Sochan (21), and Mamukelashivili (25) for an average of 22.2. There might be some struggles, but also a lot of room for growth.
Brining CP3, Barnes, and Biyombo off the bench with Keldon Johnson and giving Malaki Branham and Harrison Ingram some much needed conditioning and minutes could expand the talent pool on multiple levels.
Sprinkle some time with Biyombo and Stephon Castle on the court together so the budding rookie can continue to develop his pick-and-roll game.
The team has a unique opportunity to build the skills of the young guys or at the very least determine if they are indeed part of the future of the franchise.
