Mills
Green
Kawhi
Gay
LMA
It maybe a little early to speculate but the roster looks more or less set.
PG - Murray / Mills / Parker / White
SG - Green / Manu (?) / Forbes / Paul
SF - Kawhi / Anderson / Blossomgame
PF - Aldridge / Gay / Bertans
C - Gasol / Lauvergne
I think Murray will get the starting job (despite an underwhelming Summer League) due to being a better fit alongside Danny. He'll most likely split the PG minutes with Patty. We saw this last season when Tony was out. Whatever is left will be for White/Paul/Forbes.
Danny is our starting shooting guard unless he gets traded which is unlikely. The backup situation is in Manu's hands. If he returns, it's his. If he retires, White/Paul/Forbes will fight for the spot.
Kawhi starts at the 3 (duh). Remaining minutes could be filled by Anderson/Gay/Bertans.
The power forward position is where it gets interesting. I think LMA should be moved to center (not sure if he's willing). Kyle or Gay (if he shows he still has something left in the tank) could take over the starting 4 spot. Bertans should also get more minutes.
LMA ideally slides into the center position with Pau and Lauvergne behind him. In certain matchups, we could use a more traditional lineup with two bigs like LMA+Gasol.
Inb4 someone replies the starting lineup will look like .
Mills
Green
Kawhi
Gay
LMA
it, it's a new day..I say Forbes+Murray+Leonard+Bertans+Aldridge
With Gay playing a ton of minutes off the bench
Crazy, but I kinda like it . . .
No Center
Soft PF
SF with a torn Achilles
Kawhi
PG
The Aussie will be starting. Sorry to crush any dreams.
PG Kawhi
SG Mills
SF Forbes
PF Tony Parker when healthy
Center Danny Green
Just with this we are ok
Imo it's going to be
Murray
Green
Kawhi
Gay
Aldridge
It depends on if Aldridge wants to play the 5. If he can, then start Murray,DG,KL,Rudy and LMA. Everyone's playing small the Spurs should unless they can get something out of the Gasol/Aldridge combo.
PG Murray
SG Kawhi
SF Gay
PF LMA
C Pau
go big win big
That's exactly what RC Buford was thinking when he went into this offseason. That's why he signed and drafted pure
He knows casuals and the media will credit him and Pop's system for the wins instead of Kawhi
you know, that's actually not that bad..
Drugs are bad mmmkay?
Aldridge
Melo
Lebron
Kawhi
CP3
oh wait, that was so 2 weeks ago.
Mills is trash, Murray has a high dribble and no shooting, forbes is improving noticeably in body and game, his handles look good and there's no doubt he can shoot as long as he has confidence
btw in not predicting game 1 regular season starters, after pop experiments for a while I expect/want this to be the standard starting lineup before 2018

I think you're using a strawman. Other than 1 or 2 extremely delusional people I doubt anyone had melo and or lebron coming here
I think it's definitely Mills / Danny / Kawhi / Gay / LMA
I dont think Mills is the long term starter but a good fit with the starters until someone (Murray, Forbes, etc.) can prove they are nba players/PG's.
I'd say 20 games or so.
Would not be surprised if they throw Murray into the fire, but I doubt it honestly. Also, trades before the season are always possible.
