How do you feel about LMAlpha being handed the team?

Wonder if kawhitards are happy, sad or just plain upset?

As a non player fan of course I'm pretty pleased tbqh we did go out in the first round last year.

like Kobe fans theyll throw LMAlpha under the bus. Smh

[hater]

It's a serious question tbqh. It'll be interesting to see how spursfans handle LMAlphas role throughout the season.

Already some fans are sounding alarms. "this is not typical spurs material" blah blah blah

Interesting mechanics in place imo good stuff

This is probably gonna turn into a troll tread, but I'll post anyway.

On a selfish level sometimes I wish the Spurs never got Aldridge, because I think the Spurs could be successful (championship good) with Kawhi as their number one option. I think he could have put up 21-23ppg and about 4 apg maintaining his DPOY defense. Kawhi is my favorite player so I want the NBA to recognize his abilities. But then I think that the team would've had to rely on injury pone players(Tiago, Parker, maybe even Kawhi) if LaMarcus doesn't sign.

The Aldridge signing gives the Spurs a proven(even if worse than kawhi) offensive player that can take on the offensive load so Kawhi can make sure to maintain and even improve his defense. I do have legitimate concerns about the signing though: Will the Spurs use the motion offense? If not can Kawhi improve his play making and maintain high FG% with increased scoring? If they do run the motion, will there be enough shots for Kawhi and/or LaMarcus so they are both happy?

So, ultimately, I am in favor of Aldrigde signing, (especially because they got to keep Danny) because it brings more balance/stability to the roster and extends the Championship window.

Kawhi will never be the offensive player LMA is right now. Kawhi's O is highly overrated on this board. I love Kawhi but some people act like he is the second coming of Jordan. No. He will never be an Alpha in a Championship caliber team for long stretches.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

I was just saying Kawhi might become a better offensive player than LMA next year if he keeps improving. I was NOT saying he's better now(although I understand your confusion).

If LMA "needs" points and minutes we have made a big mistake.
If we need him to win another championship by using him frequently as a scorer, fine.

Oh I think the honeymoon with Kawhi will definitely start to end the more he keeps talking about me-first accolades, especially if there's even a sniff of tension between him and LMAlpha in the lockeroom. Even the merry band of Kawhitards led by that balding pinoy canuck wouldn't be able to stop that

LMA is a guy who is natural scorer and can score 20 plus consistently while Kawhi is not a gifted natural scorer on the same level as LMA. Consistency has always been an issue with Kawhi. Even when he won finals MVP the first two games of series he was crap but the final 3 games he went on a tear. This year in the playoffs Kawhi was great the first 4 games and then was garbage the last 3 games. I feel confident in LMA's abilities to show up offensively in a 7 game series more so than Kawhi. I just feel better not having to rely on Kawhi's inconsistent scoring knowing the spurs have a go to guy in LMA to keep the offense from sputtering.

Despite Aldridge's great numbers in regular season, his offensive efficiency was garbage in every playoffs series of his career. Having him on the team will work for both, LMA and Kawhi. Kawhi didn't have help of Parker, Manu, Green, when he struggled offensively in those three games, now when LMA has a bad night Kawhi will be there, and vice versa.

Pippen's passing was on the same level as Lebron's that's how great of a passer he was. Pippen was the defacto PG in the bulls triangle offense. The phrase point forward was coined after Pippen's great play-making skills.

Eh...I have to respectfully disagree. I really do DESPISE everything Lebron and I looove Pippen (I appreciate Pippen MUCH more than Jordan actually...never been a Jordan lover), but Pippen's passing was not on Lebron's level. Pippen was an excellent facilitator and passer...elite alltime for his position. But Pippen is moreso the prototypical point-forward (a true forward who has the unique skillset to get away with running/facilitating an offense)...Lebron is more a true PG masquerading as a small forward because he has the clear body type. Lebron's vision, set-up ability and quality of passes is better than Pippen's was. Though Pippen was STELLAR at all three.

[Ignignokt]

Sure, but once Matt GODbarnes retires, we may see kawhi ascend into number 1 in our offense.

Interesting I just looked him up and see that he played most of his career during the 80's. I didn't start watching basketball until the early 90's. So he was a little bit before my time. I don't dispute what you are saying but I will say Pippen popularized the phrase Point Forward during the 90's.

No but your original statement was ridiculous in that you clearly meant for it to mean that Aldridge isn't an alpha because he decided to change teams...which again is completely stupid. Duncan won a championship "as the alpha" and yet STILL had strong interest in changing teams...why? Because there are OTHER reasons for players to want to change teams and not have it, stupidly, mean that they aren't "alpha" enough.

Shut up faggot. You make no sense. :lmao

[spursistan]

Real talk: you would be lying to yourself if you don't consider LMA dithering on choosing between SA or Pheonix; his quasi-stipulation to not play the C; his open concerns about numbers/shots and his unretiring of Bowen jersey as not some sort of red flag relative to what the San Antonio Spurs has been all about since the Tim Duncan era began ..You would still take him, but that's something to note..

[All Mighty Janitor]

We got bounced in the first round with kawhi as the 1st option

There were all sorts of problems with the team in the playoffs (not just Kawhi in games 5-7) so I'm not gonna pretend its all his fault. But all that is beside the point cuz I'm not even talking about last year. I'm just saying that with some improvement in his passing and ball handling (so he can operate out of the pick-and-roll) Kawhi will be a serviceable number one option(in the spurs motion offence).

[All Mighty Janitor]

Yeah you've successfully turned it into a troll thread. :bobo

How? Because I think Kawhi can be an as good or better offensive player than LaMarcus next year?

Double standard.

A double standard requires equal, similar situations. That isn't the case here.

LMA says "I would have signed with the Suns, if the Spurs wouldn't have told me they would maintain my points and invididual stats"

When we hear Kawhi saying "I would have signed an offer with other team if the Spurs wouldn't have told me that I'd get more touches to score more points and run for the MVP"?

Kawhi didn't demand anything about his own stats.
He didn't say "Pop you should give him the opportunity to continue improving offensively, give me more touches, play me more minutes, or I will sign an offer with other team and ruin your plans to land a top free agent".

Remember if Kawhi would have signed an offer with other team forcing the Spurs to match that offer, they couldn't have signed Aldridge.
But Kawhi worked for the team.

I've said before it's understandable that LMA wants his shots, I want he gets his shots too.

But it's annoying, almost like prima donna LMA saying "I had my doubts about the Spurs, one of the best coaches in NBA history, the best PF in NBA history, the most successful Big 3 in NBA history, the 2014 FMVP and 2015 DPOY, the shooter-record-most 3-pointers in Finals history....because my points per game".

Wrong again faggot

[spurslegacy]

wtf are you talking about? kawhi is gonna be kawhi and that's going to be amazing. he's gonna be a top ten player in the league really soon but he's not there yet... Tony, Manu and Timmy will essentially be roleplayers to Kawhi and Aldridge, and LMA's ridiculous shot making ability in crunch time will allow the Claw to maximize his defensive abilities, and simultaneously grow incrementally into a true offensive beast... we saw in this last run he wasn't QUITE ready for that Alpha role. I think both Kawhi and Lamarcus are smart and mature enough to understand all this, and are okay with sacrifice as long as they win the chip.


Wonder if kawhitards are happy, sad or just plain upset?

Pippen's passing was on the same level as Lebron's that's how great of a passer he was. Pippen was the defacto PG in the bulls triangle offense. The phrase point forward was coined after Pippen's great play-making skills.

As great as Pippen was, the phrase "point forward" was coined for Paul Pressey when he was with the Bucks in the 1980s.

[hater]

Why are the words point forward and kawhi in the same thread????

Possibly the most under-rated team in NBA history; early 80s Bucks.

[YGWHI]

We got bounced in the first round with kawhi as the 1st option

Horrible take. Explain me how Kawhi was the 1st option?

He wasn't it in the regular season: Parker 832 FGA 24.5 Usg% Kawhi 822 FGA 23 Usg%

Tim took more shots in game 2 and 7 than Kawhi, Tony did the same in game 7.

So Kawhi was the #1 option in what? 4 playoffs games? How he was the #1 option if he took less shots in all the season and had lower usage percentage?

[hater]

2 words. Matt fucking Barnes

I don't get this...Mat Barnes is a coach? He gave Kawhi more touches during all the season, call more plays for him to be #first option? Since Kawhi wasn't it...

A double standard requires equal, similar situations. That isn't the case here.

LMA says "I would have signed with the Suns, if the Spurs wouldn't have told me they would maintain my points and invididual stats"

When we hear Kawhi saying "I would have signed an offer with other team if the Spurs wouldn't have told me that I'd get more touches to score more points and run for the MVP"?

Kawhi didn't demand anything about his own stats.
He didn't say "Pop you should give him the opportunity to continue improving offensively, give me more touches, play me more minutes, or I will sign an offer with other team and ruin your plans to land a top free agent".

Remember if Kawhi would have signed an offer with other team forcing the Spurs to match that offer, they couldn't have signed Aldridge.
But Kawhi worked for the team.

I've said before it's understandable that LMA wants his shots, I want he gets his shots too.

But it's annoying, almost like prima donna LMA saying "I had my doubts about the Spurs, one of the best coaches in NBA history, the best PF in NBA history, the most successful Big 3 in NBA history, the 2014 FMVP and 2015 DPOY, the shooter-record-most 3-pointers in Finals history....because my points per game".
Not exactly what he said, but you can spin it however you want. To me it seems that Lamarcus is a scorer, he's good at it while being guarded always by the other team's best defensive player and he creates his own opportunities and opens up opportunities for others with his aggressiveness. If you are signing him to not have him do what he does best, it will be a disappointing situation for all involved. So we should be glad that both Pop recognized that fact and that he will seek to maximize what a big man being paid a vet max Kim him can do for the team. Tim at his age was still producing big time and getting a ton of opportunities to shoot. You can't expect Lamarcus still in his prime to play as a roleplayer.

Kawhi is a reserved young man who avoids media like a plague, yet I distinctly recall last year he said he wanted more minutes and and an increased role when the media pressured him about his expected role after a dominant finals performance. This year he has ambitions to be an all-star and MVP. I Am not criticizing Kawhi, so much as I am explaining that you can't expect talented young guys in their best years to not have ambitions. The big 3 also had their own career years. Tim was MVP, all 3 were all-stars, etc. They ha prominent and featured roles an high usage some years. They have now stepped into diminished roles out of necessity because of decline. You can't judge Lamarcus or Kawhi based on the big 3 at this stage. My point about Kawhi is not that he is wrong. He should want to be the best and so should Lamarcus TBH. If they were bringing him here to defer to Tim that was nit th place for him. H is a hungry guy an at this stage of his career he wants th burden to put up shots. Spurs were perfectly fine with that because they need that. Like Udoka said Tim is old. The RS is sometimes a real grind and burden. Spurs needed exactly what Lamarcus provides.

That was what I noticed. Kawhi rolling to the paint would have been a better decoy play as it left Marco wide open and he had been on fire. Of course b4 there was player movement on th play everyone was guarded, but after Kawhi rolled Marco's man helped leaving Marco wide open.

Yeah, but Barnes moves after Diaw throws the ball. He didn't just take off. So Diaw would have had to physically pumpfake before delivering the pass.

Why do you motherfuckers constantly talk in terms of ownership and alpha this, alpha that. I mean holy fuck, shut the fuck up. Do you guys need someone to dominate you for you to be worth a shit? Sounds like it.

Kawhi was here first, works his ass off, does the dirty work and has taken off like a rocket. Having said that Kawhi is better as a garbage man, getting points and other stats in many ways. He can get 30 points without getting alot of set plays. LMA is different simply by the position he plays. Unlike, Kawhi, hes too tall to dribble down the court and make his own play, he needs to be fed the ball in the post or p-n-r's or whatever. Its about fitting pieces of the puzzle not feeding egos...

Aldridge is a more polished scorer than Kawhi. Kawhi's game has evolved by leaps and bounds this season, however Aldridge has been a go-to scorer for years. It doesn't surprise me that he's been the first option a lot lately. As of now, Aldridge is still the more proven scorer. As far as being handed the team? I think that's a stretch.
-Let the hating commence.

[dabom]

Kawhi shooting 62TS% and doesn't go down with volume. Easily gets you 30 ppg if you increase his minutes. Been the first option and best option the whole season. Proven scorer vs great competition int he playoffs. You clowns. :lmao

[G-Dawgg]

Atm, that's just one season (more like 1/2 a season sample) vs LaMarcus' whole career of being a proven scorer in the league. I'm not saying Kawhi is not a superstar. But Aldridge is also a proven star with a more polished and proven offensive game at this point. Who's the clown?

This is what I was thinking before the season started but with Kawhi having such a high ceiling I thought and still think it's important to give him the ball so we can see what he does. So far so good, but I still have my concerns. Kawhi is more efficient than LMA, but hasn't shown he is able to take defenders off the dribble to create for teammates (consistently). He also not a volume scorer partly because he hasn't been drawing a lot of fouls as well as his (relatively) weak off-the-dribble game. I still think he can put it all together so I don't think things should change.

I know you havent really forgotten but no one is mr everything, even Jordan. He can improve in the areas you talk about but its almost better if he isnt a Lebron James, it gives room for the other teammates to contribute.

Still undefeated with lma leading the way. Think it's a better fit for him to get more looks, as it doesn't take as much as toll on Kawhi to over think forcing things and mess with other parts of his game. Will help his development.

I think this is more of a product of the flow of the offence. When the offensive flow is there, LMA can get easier shots. If the offence is stalling, the ball will find Kawhi more because he can score in more ways than LMA. Also, if LMA has a favorable match up, he will get a lot of touches because kawhi can play off-ball equally well as with the ball in his hands. And if LMA plays bad the ball funnels to Kawhi; even though Kawhi will score he will take away from the flow of the offence because he's not an advanced playmaker.

My point is LMA plays well because the Spurs play well and when he has a particularly favorable match up; Kawhi can always play well so when LMA scores so does Kawhi, thus were more likely to win. It's like saying when Danny scores over 14 points were undefeated (just a hypothetical.) It doesn't mean we should feed LMA every game.

Those are good points. I think LMA playing well effects the team more than the team effects him tho. It could easily go either way, but more often than not, his ability to create offense seems to take a lot of pressure off of others, especially since lots of his shots are bail out shots on the offense stifling and running out of shot clock.

As far as the Danny Green comparison, we all know Danny has under performed. When he performs to his ability it helps the team, not Danny being helped by the team. He gets looks all the time but it does t help unless he is just playing good, and when he does, it obviously has a positive effect on the whole team. Which would support my view as well. Even though we both know, Danny is more of an off ball scorer who others create for, and not a main focus type player.

[Chinook]

Reminds me of the Splitter double-digit thing a couple of years ago. LMA is fulfilling his role in the offense. The offense isn't becoming his. Now that he and Green and slotted into their roles, the offense will work better for everyone. Can't wait to see how it looks if Parker and Duncan can get healthy and in shape again.

Your right. LMA definitely contributes more to his own success. I was just trying to say his scoring is more of a barometer for wins than Kawhi has been especially since so many more of our losses came at the being of the season when LMA was playing bad/getting use to the system(which is also why I made the Danny comparison). Now that I'm looking at my previous post, I can see that wasn't as clear as I wanted to be; I guess I was tired. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

[hater]

This is probably gonna turn into a troll tread, but I'll post anyway.

On a selfish level sometimes I wish the Spurs never got Aldridge, because I think the Spurs could be successful (championship good) with Kawhi as their number one option. I think he could have put up 21-23ppg and about 4 apg maintaining his DPOY defense. Kawhi is my favorite player so I want the NBA to recognize his abilities. But then I think that the team would've had to rely on injury pone players(Tiago, Parker, maybe even Kawhi) if LaMarcus doesn't sign.

The Aldridge signing gives the Spurs a proven(even if worse than kawhi) offensive player that can take on the offensive load so Kawhi can make sure to maintain and even improve his defense. I do have legitimate concerns about the signing though: Will the Spurs use the motion offense? If not can Kawhi improve his play making and maintain high FG% with increased scoring? If they do run the motion, will there be enough shots for Kawhi and/or LaMarcus so they are both happy?

So, ultimately, I am in favor of Aldrigde signing, (especially because they got to keep Danny) because it brings more balance/stability to the roster and extends the Championship window.
