Horrible post
Not as bad as some are making it seem, imo.
Team would've easily been like a 6th seed by just removing Forbes out of the equation. Yeah, DD and LMA aren't superstars but the Heat just made a run without one. Butler ain't a superstar. Had plenty of subpar games during their run.
Play the young guys heavy minutes alongside DD and LMA and let's see what happens. Top 4 seed at the very least, imho.
10-12th seed at best in the west,tbh
No Bryn or Beli
More minutes for Keldon (our future star)
Smarter guard defense by adding Vassell to stop/ slow the Lilliards, Devin Bookers, James Hardens, Kyries, Mitc , Jamal Murrays
Should theoretically increase our win total
4th seed though? Not sure about that...
You just know Forbes is gonna be resigned and trotted out there alongside Mills for 20 mins a game.
I'll wait for the "we're not back, boys!" thread when Bryn is still on the roster.
Need Forbes gone.
Need LMA to commit to stretch 5 role for the team. This is also in his best interest to get another contract.
Need DMDR to stay in his bubble style of play by deferring to the young players more often.
Need Pop to not be an idiot with player rotations.
If you think about it, our current guards (Lonnie, Murray, Forbes) made no impact whenever they defended the star SGs of the league. The hope is Vassell can do something positive there.
White, Murray, Walker, KJ, Vassell, LMA, Purdle
Someone tell me how that isn't a top 10/top 5 defense?
I don't think the Spurs are done yet. With Vassell, I think the Spurs can package either Murray or Lonnie with Aldridge to get Wiseman/Wiggins, depends on Klay's situation.
The Spurs seem to be on track to be in that 7-10 play-in range.
Hasn’t been announced or anything but there may not be an NBA G league season
We aren't making the playoffs with LMA and DDR...several teams that have missed the playoffs this year will be better next year, while we got worse (worse because out 2 "best"players got even older and our draft picks aren't gonna be in the rotation)
I'm with you saying this team can absolutely make the playoffs without Forbes being third on the team in minutes. "Top 4 seed at the very least" is a bit ridiculous to say, but I could see us in the playoffs with this bunch as long as Bryn is gone/has a GREATLY diminished role.
If no trades are made (and they won’t), this team is 10-12 seed
Even worse...then our draft picks are DEFINITELY not seeing the court... Pop will run it back with the exact same team because the draft picks haven't paid their dues and learned "the system" yet
Finally someone on here that knows basketball
Welcome back to 1990's half court low post basketball.
Lottery team next year...trash off-season as usual...
I get what you’re saying with style of play but the results will be pre-Robinson 1980s results. This era will be like 1983-1989. Not sure if a Robinson will be waiting for us at the end of it though
because you think your guys will get 25+ minutes each and not forbes/mills/derozan
Not fun to watch this train wreck that you can see coming a mile away. But that’s being a spurs fan now
