Siska is a great all-around player and his pure basketball skillset is probably amongst the 10-15 such skillsets in the world. But his only two weaknesses will be fully blown out if he plays in the NBA: He's slow footed (especially on defense) and he lacks body strength.

Well it is relative... Look at how old Mike Finley is.
Hell if he can have an Antony Parker type impact... I would be happy.

30 is right in the middle of a player's prime... so it doesn't matter
And for the Spurs, yes, 30 would be getting younger...
They'll get younger players and even younger players in the off-season through various acuqisition options.
Were not going to rebuild or something
