One option this season is to play Kawhi at the 4 spot & have him run 4-5 PnPs w/ Pau or LMA who could set a drag-screen at the 3 point line to force a switch. It would have to be against a team that doesn't have an elite 3 where Kawhi would have to be matched up against & that team might be the Cripples whom Pop could afford to have Kawhi play the 4 when Blake is on the bench.Quote:

if he could be a poor man's draymond I'd take it tbh... both have some fire when they play, they shake things upQuote:

I think Dedmon should start. Would love to see him starting and Pau coming off the bench. I know it won't happen but I am loving Dedmon this year!
:lol ST schticks sometimes...
For Chinook dude is coddled like a mofo by Pop. On the opposite side of the sceptrum, Apo is with the Pop hates Dedmond because he is republican.... I love this site
What? I never said anything like that about Dedmon. WTF is with ST creating "sound bites" out of thin air?Quote:

like my nigg dabom said, was talking about your Simmons is coddled stuff and Apo Dedmon is hated... I was not very clear in my post to be fairQuote:

He won't lose the starting position, but the team can try Dedmon in the SL and see how it works.
I'd like to see him get some pointers from David Robinson on workouts, he needs some big guns like David had. I like this guy, he seems real sharp and a good guy as well.
I have loved Dedmon. I hope the team can resign him. Probably my favorite big in this team TBH.
Dedmon in the starting lineup and Pau off the bench is the obvious move. I doubt the super duper coach, which doesn't take shit from anyone and likes players that are "over themselves", does the move, tbh.
Dedmon needs more minutes than Lee from here on out.
He impacts the game in so many more ways. Love the activity he brings on both ends.
Great game by him.
I wish he was starting. :cry
Agreed. Though I don't think he should start. The Pau/diva thing is, well, a thing, and prime Manu set a precedent for a bench player being better than the guy he's supposedly backing up. Dedmon has definitely earned the right to finish games and play at least as many minutes as Pau imo.Quote:

Agreed. But Pop can't bench Pau, since he already said in the offseason that "Pau is a starter" to silence the rumors about of him coming off the bench as the best fit with the Spurs lineups.Quote:

I just hope that Pop reduces his minutes and plays Dedmon more.
I at least hope Pau and Dedmon get the Manu treatment and come off (if starting) or come in (if on the bench) at the 6 minute mark. Dedmon gained the right of being the first guy off the bench.Quote:
