KRYSTEN PEEK: I asked [? Kev ?] and [? Dana ?] this question earlier. I said, OK, Victor said, he’s like, I don’t want to wait so long to get a ring. And he’s going in with a great young core group, but it’s going to take some time to build it up. And so I asked Kevin, I was like, how long do you think, realistically, until the Spurs can compete for a championship? And so he started going through the levels, and he said I think, realistically, probably eight years. And so I said, I’m going to take the under on that because I want to see that happen before then.

Are you on the under of eight years, or do you think, realistically speaking, that, that is a good benchmark and an expectations for when this young Spurs squad can compete for a title?

TIM MARTIN: Well, that’s a great question. Number one, that’s a $1,000,000 question. I look at it like this. Good food is cooked slow, and what I mean by that is that to reach any element of greatness, or to win a championship, there’s going to be a lot of ups and downs along the way. I mean, just recently, Giannis had to deal with it. You know, Jokic just had to deal with it.

I think it took what? Jordan six to eight years, something like that, to win his first ring. Same thing with LeBron.

KRYSTEN PEEK: Yep.

TIM MARTIN: So regardless of what that dynamic may be and how long it’s going to take, I just know it’s going to be a process. And if I had to answer it, I really– I’m kind of neutral on that because I really don’t know. You put me on the spot.

KRYSTEN PEEK: No, but I love your answer. I love that good food is cooked slowly. That’s a good analogy for people being patient with this process.

TIM MARTIN: Yes.
