Re: Dejounte, Lonnie, DeStar, Rudy, and LMA looks BEAST tbh
Demar will be playing with a chip on his shoulder. Rudy very motivated to have a strong year. Dj's gonna have a breakout season. LMA ready for year two in beast mode. Pop will be much more focused. This going to be the hungriest spurs squad since '14.

That line up has tons of potential, what I like most about it is that you can plug in lots of different players and still work.
1) DJ Lonnie DDR Rudy LA and Pau, would be fun to watch offensively. Give the ball to DDR who is able to take his man and if the double team comes give it to Pau who has high basketball IQ; He can shoot the open three at a high rate so you can't leave him alone and he can play the Hi-Lo game with LA or pass to Lonnie who also can make the open three. It's the way were up by 25 against the warriors, replace Lonnie with Danny, obviously.
2) DJ Lonnie DDR Rudy LA and Patty, would be fantastic.
3) DJ Lonnie DDR Rudy LA and Belli, could be an upgrade from 2 depending on who plays better defense; Patty or Beli to be honest.
4) DJ Lonnie DDR Rudy LA and Dante, would definitely be an upgrade on D from 1-3.
5) DJ Lonnie DDR Rudy LA and Derrick/Bryn/Davis all work in my mind :)
I don't know how long it will take but I can see Lonnie being a prime Danny Green. I think he has the offense already down and I hope he focus on defense, so he can stay on the court.

We're overloaded at the 2. If Manu rerurns, doubt Lonnie gets much playing time. With DDR, White, Marco, Forbes, idk how lonnie gets much time either way actually

Sad but true.
Coming off consecutive 60-win seasons, last season felt like a disappointment with all of the Kawhi nonsense and not breaking 50. Expectations were high after the two prior years, and the team fell flat due to circumstances out of their control.
This season, nobody knows what to expect. We could win 30. We could win 55. At least there isn't this built up expectation, so even if the Spurs only do ho-hum, it will still be a pleasant surprise.
-
Re: Dejounte, Lonnie, DeStar, Rudy, and LMA looks BEAST tbh
I like Lonnie, but I think Belli starts over him but maybe not for long until Lonnie finds his way because he is the better defensive player. I sincerely hope not Mills though. And pls no more Mills on PG. He’s best at SG coming from the bench as streaky scorer.

Maybe he shows up to training camp and forces Pop's hand, but I expect Lonnie will be spending quite a bit of time in Austin this year, and he could probably use the playing time instead of playing 5-10 spot minutes off the bench.

Also, i just dont get why they re-signed Forbes. Hope I'm proven wrong, but he's a defensive liability and unnecessary. I think PATFO think his elite shooting+ability to somewhat drive will make him worth the money, but his small size at the 2 and lack of D makes him almosy worthless. Granted he's a worker on D, but just too small. Plus we have Patty so why we need 2 of these guys?

As for DJ: draining selected threes in an empty gym doesn't show me anything, and putting on rebounding clinics isn't what we need from a PG. Gravy without the chicken fry.

I don't want to see him get 5-10 minutes average when we have Murray and White who need every minute they can get. Especially White who is far more ready and already spent a season playing against boys in the G League. We simply have too many young guys to develop all of them simultaneously - another reason White should have logged more time in The Show last season.

Except that Pop isn't likely to bring in that kind of personality onto the team when he's trying to remake it. And he's not likely to play until January.

While it was frustrating not to have him last year more than we did, that decision is going to pay off in spades this year as the kid gets serious playing time and becomes one of our best players. He had that kind of development last year. He'll even acknowledge that.

I certainly hope so. I have serious doubts about Pop's plans to utilize him. Nonetheless, that just reinforces how much Lonnie needs to be in Austin rather than San Antonio next season.

I agree with all that. There's certainly some risk. I just don't think that Cousins would be behave poorly with what he has at stake.
That being said, he is a nut and if his recovery was going poorly, he might not be able to control himself.

Re: Dejounte, Lonnie, DeStar, Rudy, and LMA looks BEAST tbh

Re: Dejounte, Lonnie, DeStar, Rudy, and LMA looks BEAST tbh
-
Re: Dejounte, Lonnie, DeStar, Rudy, and LMA looks BEAST tbh
How does Lonnie get in the lineup, let alone start? Beli, Manu, etc. are not starting b/c of DDR (at least that's what i think, unless they put DDR at the 3, which is dumb cuz he cant play good D well enough against other 3s to have consistent minutes at that position). Obv. Pop will mess with lineup a million times, but I think we see this lineup the most: Murray, DDR, Gay, LMA, Gasol and for small ball it'll be Murray, Patty, DDR, Gay, LMA (this lineup doesn't get much play though imo, but rough draft). Also I think many are overhyping White. He sucked ass last year and although he looks fantastic in G-league, no guarantee he'll do well in the rotation.

Walker will spend most of his time in G League but he will get called up more then White did last year. Pop needs to release White this season he easily is in the top 3 of ball handlers DDR, and Manu rounding out our best ball handlers on our team.
I agree Pop is going to have fun this season I think a lot of guys are going to make a point that this is their team not K-Y

To make things weirder; Sean McDonald (beat writer) appeared on the Back to Back podcast and mentioned at least 3 times that the Spurs coaches really like Derrick White.
White and Beli are both better than Forbes and fill the same role as him, it has to be an asset play- no other team was interested so they locked him up for $5 million over two years because they like him too.

I basically agree with you although I am convinced Cunningham will start over Gay when we absolutely need a defensive "stopper."

Gasol, LMA, and Murray had an excellent defensive rtg together last season, when looking at 3 man lineups. Green and Anderson often played along with them- which certainly helped but the Gasol and Aldridge pairing had similar results, despite not always playing with two of those 3 perimeter player's.
That's a long winded way of saying that the Spurs defense is already good when Gasol and Aldridge share the floor because of the rim protection that both provide; Murray's presence only helps them, and DeRozen is DeRozen on D- not good, but hopefully better. I think Gay was fine defensively last season, he isn't a stopper by any means but he does have two bigs behind him to help him and Murray to harass PGs.
That unit is also massive in terms of size and length with good athleticism on the perimeter-limited opponents transition opportunities by not turning the ball over, contesting and forcing the other team off the 3 point line and not fouling are staples of Pops defenses, they should be able to stay well enough to be an effective defensive unit.
Starting Cunningham seems unnecessary and unlikely for those reasons, plus Gay is a much better offensive player.
Cunningham probably doesn't play regular minutes, and if Manu returns, I suspect Gay and Manu would play most of the SF minutes next season.

That unit is also massive in terms of size and length with good athleticism on the perimeter-limited opponents transition opportunities by not turning the ball over, contesting and forcing the other team off the 3 point line and not fouling are staples of Pops defenses, they should be able to stay well enough to be an effective defensive unit.
Starting Cunningham seems unnecessary and unlikely for those reasons, plus Gay is a much better offensive player.
Cunningham probably doesn't play regular minutes, and if Manu returns, I suspect Gay and Manu would play most of the SF minutes next season.
Any idea on who gets the 15th spot? Hearing a lot of rumble of Metu and Blossomgame being our two way contracts. Anyone on the open market besides Greg Monroe look good?

Great. We can get 20 points out of them combined while giving up 40!
