I remember Pop saying at one time that Duncan had a very good 3 pt shot. And in at least 2 playoffs, Duncan's 3 point shot has been pivotal.
Why hope for a born again Horry in Bonner, when Duncan's there. I understand the advantage of Duncan as a low post playmaker, but Horry and Rasheed were both playmakers in the high post.
With Splitter, I believe Duncan could do well and extend his career somewhat, rather than getting constantly beat up in the low post. Furthermore, Pop could surprise the out of the fakers.
Let's let one of the greatest pivot players shoot threes.
Lol Duncan would shoot at a low 20% clip if he decided to start launching from the perimeter. not necessarily what you want.
you're funny son !
He probably could. However, like CD98 said, it made very little sense pulling him out of the paint to make space for KT/Nazr/Rasho to operate... Now that splitter is here (or possibly if Blair blows up), it might make sense. I have long hoped that TD would take an offseason (or maybe 2) and develop a sky-hook a la Kareem. I think this would greatly improve his potential longevity in this league...Being able to sky hook from the perimeter (20 ft), like Kareem would make Tim such a pair to cover, as well as putting him in a position to get back on D easily while a younger player (Blair/Splitter) went hunting O boards...
role of horry/sheed = shooting three pointers?
OK.
WOW.
I hope the OP is joking

Hey, that's a great idea! It helps spread the floor for...
wait, wut?
He's been asked to protect the paint by himself for years while he aged, why couldn't Timmy space the floor for his post game as well (and if he's out by the 3-point line he'll be in better position to get back in transition and defend the paint by himself as well).
It's actually pretty amazing Pop and Co. didn't think of this sooner (not Booner).
how long do u think it will take before that shipment of "sarcastic blue" gets here ? i dont think anybody could have predicted the great blue shortage of july 2010.
what do you base this theory on, not that I want timmy jacking up threes, but I am just curious how you figure he would shoot 20%. He's an accurate shooter, bigs will not come out to cover him because like you they figure he won't hit a high percentage, but what if he does and moves his game out a little bit more from time to time to rest his body if tiago and blair or jefferson of some of the guards pick up the slack in offensive rebounds or this may actually aid in the bigs getting back on d if timmy is the first one down on the defensive end
The best time to try this would have been during the Olympics when the US team couldn't hit from outside, Carlos Boozer hogged up the post, and the refs were trying to take Duncan out at every opportunity. Putting him outside as the three point specialist would have been a genius move. Now, not so much.
You've gotta mix it up. Gotta keep 'em guessin', what I say.
Ya know, now that Duncan's slowin' down a bit why don't the Spurs just switch roles within the Big 3? Tony's young, he's probably better suited to take the pounding the paint delivers. He could really utilize his quickness against centers and power forwards in the post.
Not an easy feat, OP, but you managed to make the most re ed thread of the offseason so far. Good job.
C'mon son
this is a great idea lets let duncan shoot all our 3's so matt bonner can get 25 rebounds a game and bang inside with the big boys
1 post and bam he is gone. Must be trolling.

Oh, come on! There has been much, much worse.Not an easy feat, OP, but you managed to make the most re ed thread of the offseason so far. Good job.
The Omnipotent One seems to be finding himself quoted in sigs lately . . .
If you or a friend would like the Omnipotent's words to grace your sig, just let me know what you'd like me to say. I may lack humility but my shame is non-existent -- I love me some me quotes.
