    Diaw shot 50% from 3 in the playoffs... possibly fluke, but anything over 35% is more useful than that ginger choker...
    Well Horry didn't have a terribly high career 3p% but he made shots, rebounded and defended well when it mattered most. Hopefully Diaw can do some of that things. Another option is to go small with Leonard at 4, since he's a good rebounder.

    Assuming the risk of being unjust, Bonner has no business with the Spurs if the plan is to continue making the playoffs. At least not at 4M per season.

    Tbh, the FO must put a playoffs rotation, where there are no pg's that can't handle the rock or defend, where there are starter SG's that disappear or air-ballers stretch bigs. Another problem is when the offense gets anemic.

    Hmmm, I hope this is true. Love what Diaw brought to the team, and he can only get better the more he plays within the system, and Mills (who is from my home, Canberra) would be an ideal backup PG IMHO - instant offence, can handle the ball (unlike Neal), can also defend. Get it done!

    The one concern that remains is Bonner as our stretch 4. Ideally he plays 2/3s of the regular season (which we all know he excels at), then gets traded at the deadline for a stretch 4 with balls.

    Well, I don't want RS-only players. That's who Blair and Bonner are. You set rotations over 82 games, then have to toss everything out of the window because playoffs are hard

    That's when you fall back to plan B: defense. But Pop isn't seemingly interested in that.

    Seems like pretty much the same team plus Nando unless they work out a trade -- which does not at this time seem to be progressing.

    Danny gets a break because it was his first playoff experience on a major role (did he even play in the playoffs in Cleveland?). Plus Danny can give you effort in other areas and he's not the last line of defense. Breaking down a perimeter player normally doesn't end in an automatic high percentage shot... bigs are a different story altogether.

    I would love Camby for Bonner+Blair S&T... Camby-Splitter off the bench would be pretty good, IMO. Shame that it looks like he wants to go to Miami or Knicks.

    Even with a trade(getting rid of Bonner/Blair and getting back a decent PF) this team's ceiling is probably still the WCF...not that there's anything wrong with that.

    It's already reported that he is going to the Knicks.

    I agree, in the case the Spurs re-sign Mills and he proves to be a good pg, the Spurs should keep the core of:

    Parker / Mills
    Leonard / Manu / Jack
    Duncan / Diaw

    And trade anyone else to add an all-star big that defends well.

    Pop could use rookies or Austin Toros players for the RS, it doesn't really matter. The improved talent will offset the lack of HCA.

    Anyone think a trade with houston could still happen? spurs still have neal & joesphs to give & houston is kind of in need of some backcourt depth. Especially with lowry gone & lee starting to grab interest around the league.

    Pop is reinventing the wheel this days. Eliminated the shooting practices some seasons ago, plays Bonner-Blair during the WCF critical game, goes to the playoffs with a 10 man rotation, refuses to play Splitter than Mills the following season, the defense is terrible since 2009, that's just a lot of issues.

    I'm not sure what's going on. But well, the team made the WCF this season.

    Just feels like this is leading us to the same outcome in the playoffs. Lakers, Clippers getting better, OKC already beat us. Would just be nice to have another big against all those bigs on those teams
    did you make this exact same post on another site????

    Oh, well... Jamison and Kaman are probably off our price range...

    There's Ian Mahinmi, Anthony Randolph, Nazr Mohamed, Spencer Hawes, Sam Young, Przybilla...

    We could also take a flyer on Fesenko...

    some of those responses. I bet they want the Spurs to start paying players with breakfast tacos.

    I'd be happy to trade Joseph (or Neal) for Jon Leuer.
    But my big question is what are we paying Diaw (and De Colo)? I'd love to see Bruno's suggestion to sweeten the BAE - a player option on the 2nd year... the full BAE with player option to Diaw, and a promise to hand him the full MLE next year if he wants it, would be awesome. Sign Diaw to that kind of BAE contract, chuck the full MLE at Kirilenko.
    I would actually be quite happy with our bigs at the start of a season for a change.
    TD, Splitter
    Kirilenko, Diaw, Leuer
    Kawhi (Kirilenko) Sjax
    Green Manu (SJax) Dentmon
    Parker (Manu) De Colo Mills?

    as a 13 man roto is really nice...

    Dump Bonner's chocked to death body in a ditch somewhere, and either keep or trade Blair for a pick. Similar with whichever of Neal and Joseph didn't get moved for Leuer.

    Mills hasn't demonstrated the ability to run the pick and roll in this offense. He doesn't set up his big and just all around takes bad angles which negates the point of the pick in the first place.

    That being said his quickness is elite and his effort is commendable. Oh and he is a lights out shooter.

    He is only 23 years old, only broke into the NBA in 2010, and plays a position that is noted for taking time to master. I would love to see him back.
