Whatcha mean?! This is where 50 Mills comes to save us! I mean, this is why he makes the big bucks right? Because he is a great, legitimate PG and not because of culture right?

Really though, Spurs are fucked. The team has no legitimate point guard.

Obviously sucks. No getting around that.

Silver linings though?

-White, Mills, or Forbes starting for Murray makes it much easier to play DeRozan and Gay together at the wings. If Gasol can take threes at a decent clip, the spacing is actually quite nice. I'd say Forbes should start with DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge and Gasol. Bench should be Mills, White, Belinelli, Bertans and Poeltl.

-Walker may well get a legit chance at a rotation spot if he can get back into form. As far as I can tell, the rotation is filled now, there is no one able come in if someone misses games. Walker should be back in December or January, two months were the team is in full grind mode. If he can start getting minutes going into the RRT, he'll likely have a spot in the rotation going forward.

-The tea leaves suggest PATFO is looking at 2020 as another possible summer to use cap space. Like with Leonard and Green in 2015, PATFO may want to use DeJounte's cap hold to sign other guys before using Bird Rights to go over the cap. But Murray's injury provides a good opportunity to try to lock in up cheaply on an extension. Rich Paul is DeJounte's agent, and I don't think he would have extended for anything less than the max before this. Unless he showed out this year, he wasn't worth that. Maybe now that he missed out, they'll be more inclined to come to the table on something like $72M/4? The alternative is Murray being in full contract-year mode. That doesn't sound horrible.

I'd just declare him out for the season now. It doesn't mean he can't come back if some weird miracle recovery happens, but the team should not be playing as if they expect him to be back, and you don't want him rushing to try to be there for the playoffs. Best-case at this point is that he's healthy enough to work on his game during the summer. His shot was much improved, but it could still have been better, especially from three.

The season was lost as soon as Kawhi cried his way out as GS only got stronger. They salvaged a playoff spot with DDR and could still win 45+ games. But they were never making noise in the playoffs.

The defense without Green, Murray and Anderson is going to be brutal. As is the PG rotation. Just stinks to lose a year of his development.

Good point on possibly locking Murray up cheaper.

Ugh. I feel bad for him and really thought he was primed to make a significant jump this year. With Kawhi gone and no Murry or Walker, it's hard to have any excitement over this team. I know they won't do it but I really think they should look into trading Aldridge and possibly DeRozan to improve the team for the future.

i agree. there would be no point in bringing him back at that point. he has a nice work ethic so i am sure he will be even more determined to make it back. and i was thinking the same about walker and a possible opportunity. for me, it sucks, because murray was one of the players i was looking forward to watching this season. we'll see how it plays out. thanks for being the voice of reason!

As a silver lining, if the Spurs start losing games early due to their shit PG situation costing games, it may bring on the Armageddon rebuild sooner than later as people were clamoring for.

Who is the distributor? Demar? White? They may try Mills but we know that isn't going to work. And neither is Forbes. So either White becomes a decent PG in front of our eyes or Demar shows some nice point forward value. Or some weird point center crap like Denver does with Jokic and the Grizz did with Gasol after Conley went down.

On DeJounte's value, this makes it hard to see what he is worth. Last year, he was clearly not worth the max and was one of the worst starters as far as a scorer. And while his defense and rebounding were great, I would think that's easier to replace than scoring and playmaking at that position. This was the year to see what he was worth. Spurs seemed convinced he was an all star. I didn't see that. But my guess is that Murray will be looking for all-star level payment.

I think Rich Paul was going to guarantee that. But coming off an injury, things are different. Remember, teams can sign guys to extensions starting July 1, so Murray likely won't be completely healthy when they first go to the table. Paul has famously had clients bet on themselves before. But I'd have to believe that Noel's complete failure has tempered some of that fire. It's going to come down to how the injury is healing and what type of person Murray is when it comes down to risk versus reward.

One terrible thing about this season: it's going to be a lot harder to avoid having Mills and Forbes together at the same time...

Wonder what they'll do about the starting lineup. Not sure how much I like having Gay and DeRozan starting together. Sure, there will be more space with any one of White, Forbes or Mills out there, but that's still a lot of guys in one lineup that are most effective with the ball in their hands. Gay's still better suited coming off the bench with Gasol, IMO. It will be interesting to see if they try to cover up some of the defensive deficiencies with a 3-and-D guy, or if they'll just steer into the skid, say "fuck defense, we're going to outscore you" and do something crazy like start Belinelli or Bertans.

Poeltl is also going to have to find a way to be effective offensively with Aldridge, because I'm not sure that the starting lineup can afford to lose his rim protection at this point. Having two really solid big guys can help cover some holes defensively.

Murray and Walker should get in touch with Tony Ferguson the dude tore his LCL had surgery and was break dancing 13 weeks latter. Not only that he fought and won in last weekends MMA co main event after tearing his LCL in April of this year.

If he’s offered an extension I expect it to be lowball and for Dejounte to decline. He can still bet on himself for the following season and that’s kind of what I expect fwiw. I’d be really surprised if he signs a lowball extension when he doesn’t need to make a decision about his future yet. If Spurs make a legit offer for him then even if not max I’d expect him to take it. It’s a lot of money to risk in that case.

Not sure that it’s going to be Gasol but they’ll face other injuries this season. It’s unrealistic that during 82 games no one else gets hurt. Hopefully not this bad but there’s bound to be sore groins or calves or pulled fingers or bruises etc.

I mean I'd always welcome him on the team but idk if this really means that. We already planned on White being the backup PG, I'd assume Mills will move to start at PG but play off DeRozan.

Defensively we're losing Murray/Green/Kawhi/Anderson but offensively Murray/Anderson struggled (even if we expected a lot more from Murray this year) and it could be argued that Green has slowed down the offense a bit. Also Kawhi essentially didn't play. So offensively we should still be OK, but defensively well now we lost our best perimeter defender and over the course a season lost our 4 best defenders. Maybe this an opportunity for Lonnie Walker when he gets back from injury...

This franchise can't catch a break.

They wanted to attempt to remain competitive, so rather than sign or claim some fringe PG, they should look to make a trade. Obviously, don't mortgage the future, but something like Gasol and a 2nd for Teodosic, Marjanovic and Johnson, is worth a shot.

The Clippers have to waive 2 players anyway. Evans is a virtual lock, leaving Wallace, Thornwell (I believe they like both) and maybe Johnson. If they're willing to stretch Johnson, maybe they would Gasol instead, if it meant clearing up their logjam and getting a minor pick back.

Absent a trade, I'd start Mills for 2 reasons: 1) The bench needs White's play making more and 2) Mills and Forbes shouldn't be paired together.



Obviously sucks. No getting around that.

Silver linings though?

-White, Mills, or Forbes starting for Murray makes it much easier to play DeRozan and Gay together at the wings. If Gasol can take threes at a decent clip, the spacing is actually quite nice. I'd say Forbes should start with DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge and Gasol. Bench should be Mills, White, Belinelli, Bertans and Poeltl.

-Walker may well get a legit chance at a rotation spot if he can get back into form. As far as I can tell, the rotation is filled now, there is no one able come in if someone misses games. Walker should be back in December or January, two months were the team is in full grind mode. If he can start getting minutes going into the RRT, he'll likely have a spot in the rotation going forward.

He'd have needed a quantum leap forward from Murray offensively to even conjure the thought, much less have the gall to request it.

who will bring the ball over with a forbes-DD-gay-aldridge-gasol starting five, imo White or mills will play with that unit and will be our pg’s. Forbes will play sg.

As you said before i hope we’ll had a real PG with some good ball handling Stills, we need one.

I can see Tony Parker's reaction when he got a text alert about DJ's situation... "Hmmm... what's this? Ha, ha, ha! See?! KARMA for not signning me for another year!" Oh well... Unfortunately, injuries happen in every sport, so the Spurs gotta pull themselves up by the bootstraps & it's next man-up! Last year's drama may help though. In this "youth movement," this gives the youngins a chance to grow-up, but factor in adversity, such as an injury to a key player, this may happen sooner than later, & it has. This is very disappointing for us as Spurs fans, especially after last year's drama with what's his name, I'm sure we all wanted a clean slate; a fresh start & see what this new team can do. For White, he's going to have to grow up fast if he's going to take over the reigns. According to RG22 in his post training camp practice interview, he said that he & the team is shaken by DJ's injury & are disppointed, but he's optimistic for his recovery. He also believes that DW4 can start at PG & lead the team, but he' will have to grow up fast. He also said that they will continue to play uptempo ball going forward wih cofidence in the ballhandlers they have. Also, my opinion, letting Blossomgame go could be a hint that they may want to sign camp invitee, Nick Johnson (PG) to a two way deal for insurance purposes, unless they look for an unsigned veteran PG to sign. We're gonna miss DJ's defense, rebounding & his growth potential he was bringig to this team... GSG!!!

White/Mills
DeRozan/Forbes
Gay/Bellinelli
LMA/Bertans
Poeltl/Gasol

IMO.. to avoid the dreaded Mills/Forbes/Belli defensive combo you can stagger minutes to avoid it.. sub out White after 6 minutes into the 1st and insert Mills.. sub out DeRozan at end of 1st and put White in to start the 2nd alongside Mills in the backcourt.. bring Forbes in early in the 2nd when Patty comes out and roll with White/Forbes till halfway through the second when DeRozan comes back in.

If spacing becomes an issue in the 1st unit you can alter it and bring Gay off the bench.. slide DDR up to the 3 and start Derrick White at the 2 for his size and D and start either Mills or Forbes at the 1 (probably better to go with Forbes to avoid Mills defending starting PG's).

Or swap Gay and Bertans at the 3, although not sure how DB holds up defending starting SF's.

Yeah if Spurs miss the playoffs for like 3 years straight and get high draft picks and those players turn into stars. Thing is Spurs FO does not want to rebuild or miss playoffs just retool slowly but oh well no one in the NBA stays on top forever. The Spurs success has hurt the team ultimately because it's keeping them from ever getting a high draft pick without a trade. Spurs will still try and make the playoffs this season with the roster they have.

Kawhi's people started all this negative buzz about Spurs medical staff and this just keeps carrying over especially with Murray tearing his ACL (non contact). I would say though if another Spur gets injured like this on a non contact play some finger pointing with the medical staff at least needs to start. For now it's overblown a bit.

I doubt it, it's an ACL tear. He will most likely be out for the whole season and if Spurs make it to the playoffs that to. 9 months is expected healing time for this injury, that brings us to early June when the NBA Finals will be starting. After June conditioning for playing will start so even than he won't be ready.

Better move on and think (not tank) the season with no expectation of him coming back...better for us and better for his long term health.
I don't want to sound too optimistic, but one thing I have to say its that I've never been too convinced of DJM play making skills...
Imho, in the long term but also in the short term, White is world beter as a play maker aka point guard.
On the opposite side, I see Murray more like a sixth man capable of changing the rythm of the game, and an ideal fit as a second unit playing with a guard like Mills/Forbes that are bad on defense but good for a fast game.
If I have to say my (now and new) ideal starting five and bench for this season (at least in two months, when Walker recovers from his maniscus injury), that is:

White - Walker - DDR - Alridge - Poeltl
Mills - Belinelli - Bertans - Gay - Pau

How the hell can you blame the medical staff for any non - contact injury, ever? Actually, the training/medical staff can't prevent any injury from occurring. They are apart of sports in general....

To suggest firing the staff for allegations with no merit and some "freak" injuries is beyond silly. It would only embolden players to pull similar stunts to Kawhi more often.

This ain't football. I'm sure it's just his ACL. He weights like nothing so that also helps..But yeah no way he comes back this year. It takes months to get your range of motion back, and then you spends months strengthening the support muscles involved with your knee. Then even after that it takes time to get the normal sensation in your knee to fire and be responsive. Unless your a freak of nature like Adrian Peterson. But even under that rare circumstance Pop would still hold him out anyways, and rightfully so.

Murray's goal would be to be at full contact come preseason. It is a 12-month recovery, give or take a few months either side depending on the success of the surgery, any complications or setbacks, and how much of a rehab workhorse you are. They then say its a further 12 months until psychologically you get over it. On Rose's injury Bulls team physician Brian Cole who performed the surgery on Rose said "While he will hopefully be at a very high level in 12 months, it still may take slightly longer. … It depends on the muscle psychology, confidence issues." It's often a player athletism is lost during that period. Think about it, they not running, sprinting, jumping or doing leg weights. However, psychologically you don't explode off the knee. It is a brain thing, (you don't want to feel that pain again.) This can lead to overcompensating on your different knee. Rose last a few months before tearing his right meniscus and was out for the remainder of the season. He returned for 40 odd games the following season and tore it again. For Rose, it was probably a combination of bad luck. It is incredible that the guy is still playing the in NBA and appears to be starting this year.

With all the KY drama Spurs are going to be even more cautious no way is he playing this season.

No reason to rush him back this season. You could see with Wentz he was able to do non-contact a few months after the surgery but the Eagles waited a full 10 months before bringing him back into a game. Spurs have the luxury of this happening early in a season so he’s only going to miss this season and none of next, barring any setback (back to the Eagles, but takes me back to when Jason Peters’ walker failed and he missed the entire next season!)

Point someone made on Murray honing in his shooting during this period is spot on. He will be able to get plenty of reps doing this while he rehabs - spot up attempts at least.

I don't see many better 2-way punches in the west outside Rockets and Warriors. I think LMA and DDR if they remain healthy should be enough to get through. Our balance is a bit ordinary though and Gay really needs to become the clear 3rd best player in this team.

Their margin for error is really close, they can't afford any more injuries and in 82 games there will be some nags or bruises to somebody for sure. I assume LMA knee will need rest at some point.

They don't have a PG... just a bunch of combo guards of varying effectiveness.

White has underwhelmed though I hope he Improves through the season, but they can't afford a slow start.

Their defense was probably going to depend on Murray a lot to anchor it and he's gone. It's easier for my stress level to assume it's a lost year than be concerned about people not being good enough.

I have low expectations at this point and last season really drained me too.

Such a promising young talent. My thoughts and prayers go out to the kid.
Harden shoved him. Did Murray at least get a foul called?

And you can probably add next season in the rehab column since it usally takes the same time you were out to get back at 100% (if you ever do).

Look at Gay... usually takes a full season following a big injury to be yourself. And that's when you don't injured yourself again.

Whatcha mean?! This is where 50 Mills comes to save us! I mean, this is why he makes the big bucks right? Because he is a great, legitimate PG and not because of culture right?

Really though, Spurs are fucked. The team has no legitimate point guard.

Came back just to see the meltdown. Dude's being paid about a third of what Westbrook's being paid and very much in line with what a veteran back-up gets. Less than Jeremy Lin. (http://www.espn.com/nba/salaries/_/page/3/seasontype/1):lol

White will need to become NBA ready in a hurry.

The offense wasn't great under Murray last year and I don't think it will ever be great if he's a traditional point guard. I could see the offense running through DeRozan by season's end (see James Harden), even with a healthy Murray. I know he worked his ass off this off-season, but court vision and play making is something that you either have or you don't, and he's not great in that department.

I see Murray eventually being a combo guard with the bulk of running the offense in someone else's hands. The Spurs will feel his loss defensively and on the glass, but I think the offense might be smoother without him. Offensively his loss isn't going to hurt the Spurs.

This year's Spurs might be paper tigers. I have a feeling they'll do great in the regular season, but might not have the defensive stopping ability to carry that far into the post season. I'm still thinking 4-6 seed.

Yeah, a torn ACL isn't nearly the devastating injury it once was, even at the beginning of this decade. It just sucks that Murray loses a season of his career.

Baron Davis tore his ACL in college but bounced back a year later and ended up as third pick in the draft. He was super athletic through out his 20's. He didn't break down until his 30's and that was mainly due to him not caring and getting out of shape.

tears can also be major or minor. Like Carson Wentz tore 3 knee ligaments I think. So did Willis McGahee back in the day at UMiami. Both came back and played well too, even thought those were pretty bad. Also Shaun Livingston that was nasteh

By comparison. DeJounte's seemed run of the mill, he will be back next season for sure.

With Spurs luck we'd get the most lottery balls and still wind up in the teens

Can't happen. If you have the worst record, you can't be lower than 4 in the draft, because they only draw for the top 3 picks. The rest are seeded in order after the draw.

They usually wait a bit. There is always swelling, and they want that to subside before they operate. Standard procedure.

Same. Besides DeRozan, Murray was the player I was most excited about watching this year to see if he could really take it to the next level.

Now we won't be able to watch him for another year, and even then, he probably won't be 100%. He will still be recovering and trying to bounce back after a year away from the game.

Worst case scenario, he may never fully recover his athleticism, so we will never really know the player he COULD have been.
