what if they are done?
Keeping the top 7 playoff players is a good start
The Spurs must improve bench but top 5 are okay
The Spurs wouldn't get past the second round
The Spurs would struggle to win 53 games
Last season's minutes leaders for the Spurs in the playoffs were:
Player.........MPG...Total
Tim Duncan 37.9 493
Tony Parker 36.5 475
Bruce Bowen 34.0 442
Manu Ginobili 32.8 426
Michael Finley 31.6 411
Brent Barry 23.2 301
Robert Horry 17.2 224
Rasho Nesterovic 12.7 114
Nazr Mohammed 11.8 94
Nick Van Exel 11.1 133
Beno Udrih 6.7 47
Fabricio Oberto 4.9 34
So far this off-season, the Spurs have made some minor adjustments to their roster (Salary adjustments had a bit more impact).
Player.........MPG...Total
Tim Duncan 37.9 493

Bruce Bowen 34.0 442

Michael Finley 31.6 411
Brent Barry 23.2 301

Rasho Nesterovic 12.7 114 offer made to RFA Francisco Elson
Nazr Mohammed 11.8 94 offer made to RFA Jackie Butler
Nick Van Exel 11.1 133 replaced by Jacque Vaughn
Beno Udrih 6.7 47
Fabricio Oberto 4.9 34
Non-playoff roster players
Sean Marks replaced by Matt Bonner
Melvin Sanders replaced by Eric Williams
It is doubtful that the Spurs are finished. When you look at prime-time minutes, it appears that the Spurs have left well enough alone with it's top 7 although they tried and failed to replace the #6 guy with a younger, more athletic player.
how could they be done? they just started
the spurs were one dirk putback away from being run out in 5. the spurs have yet to find a guy who can play the 4 and yet defend like a 3 this offseason. i wont be surprised to see if bonner, eric williams and whoever else can handle that next season.
im not too optimistic
awful pole, none of those go together
solid d,
we're back where we began....where's the rebounding?
If these deals go through, they are done except for trade attempts with Barry or Williams.
Good question.
....and when those fail then williams will get the nice fluff piece by ludden about his nba life.
Would trading for Pietrus improve the rebounding?
works for me but i was feeling more of a 4 myself
