    Costello will not be part of the rotation. Two-way guys can play at most 45 games in a season. I honestly think Gay will start if they don't go big. But depending on what they gave Lauvergne, they may expect him to be a rotation player.
    Does a two-way contract get you first dibs on a player the next year for a guaranteed contract? I'm guessing the Spurs signed Costello before someone else could, but unless this "dibs" thing is true, I don't see the advantage. He looks like a borderline NBA player at best, hard to know what his upside is.

    Yes, it's the same as a one-year contract, so things like RFA and the Arenas exception still apply.

    Thanks. I actually failed to notice the "two-year deal" even though it's in the thread le. The second year is a QO then?

    It says "two-way" not "two-year". Essentially, two-way deals are just a different type of contract, but they count as regular contracts in terms of accrued seasons and free agency. Also, they can be traded.

    Mills
    Green
    Leonard
    Gay
    Aldridge

    Forbes
    Murray/Manu
    Anderson
    Bertans
    Gasol
    This looks good to me. A lot depends on how well LMA handles still being a Spur, how Patty does as consistent starter, is Gay healthy, and is forbes ready to be the primary backup.

    Like Bill Mc, I think this looks strong. If Gay is ready to play and LMA his all we have a lot of potential with this lineup although I see Murray being developed as a point guard. Forbes might have shot his way on to the backup pg.

    With all the places already set (maybe pending an Aldridge trade) what makes the most sense is this, imho:

    Starting linuep

    G-Murray
    W-Green
    W-Leonard
    W-Bertans
    C-Aldridge

    Bench

    G-Mills
    W-Ginobili
    W-Gay
    W-Anderson
    C-Gasol

    Remaining squad

    G-Tony
    G-White
    G-Forbes
    W-Paul
    W-Blossomgame
    C-Lauvergne
    C-Costello

    *G=Guard - W=Wing - C=Center

    I think it's safe to say that, with the lack of traditional bigmen on the squad, PATFO has decided to go with the "4 perimeter guys and 1 bigman" lineup. The way the roster is constructed, it would make no sense to play Aldridge and Gasol together.
    Unlikely Davis starts. It's either going to be Gay or Pau. If neither works out, then Pop will look at alternatives, but by that point the alternative has to be evident through his play, just like it was with Dedmon (and after being promoted he showed he wasn't ready for it)... anyways the point is, Pop goes with his best established players and see what happens through the season.

    Dijon is a real question mark here too. His unsteady play is a worry. I am not going to be swayed by a few bad SL games, but by what happened before then. Flashy play aside, he was an inefficient scorer last season, tends to force a very inefficient floater, is very TO prone, and doesn't seem to have improved on that. His being sat down in SL is also a sign that the Spurs need him to go back to the drawing board and work on fundamentals. I have no idea who starts but I am guessing Patty until someone really shows up he's fully deserving.

    I feel like either Gay or Pau will start. I can't see Pop sending both to the bench to bring in Bertans, at least not until Davis has shown to be a consistent plus. The bench would benefit from not having Gay and Gasol along with Anderson and Manu.
    agree.

    This is what I expect... with Manu in when he's active and Murray in when Manu is resting. There is an outside chance Brandon Paul can compete with someone's minute but I really haven't watched him play and the first season in the league is an adjustment even for the more talented players. If someone falters or there are injuries that is B.Pau's opportunity.

    Drugs are bad mmmkay?
    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

    If Parker wasn’t there against Memphis we would’ve lost.
    So to recap rasho, Parker and gasol are all in your 1% of bad spur contracts? Lol
