My Realistic dream team for next season.

[Mav-elous Man]

Healthy,


C- Ian Mahinmi
PF- Tim Duncan
SF- Nicolas Batum (trade, hopefully Matt Bonner/Finley)
SG- Manu Ginobili
PG - Tony Parker

Bench
C - Drew Gooden
PF -Pops Mensa-Bonsu
SF -Bruce Bowen
SG -Roger Mason
PG -George Hill

Reserves -(Center) draft pick, James Gist , Malik Hariston.

Drop/trade - JV, Udoka,Bonner,Finley, KT, Oberto


This is the most realistic/possible team that would propel the Spurs back to the top along with great chemistry,character,defense,youth, at ude and the much needed athleticism.

Now If Splitter, by some dream chance came over next season, we can drop Drew Gooden.

Now who has Pop's/ RC number so I can speak with them about this, lol.

You can't have Pops Mensah-Bonsu because I want him to come back to Dallas!!!
But it is nice to see other people have An appreciation for him. He plays hard. A little out of control at times but hard. I'll be a fan of his where ever he goes. (Preferably Dallas.)

i would be extremely happy with this.

[vander]

manu starts he will be hurt by nov 27

and if he comes off the bench and is limited to 15 minutes a game he'll last until Febuary 2nd

That team would be very fortunate to finish above .500.

[blizz]

what's the big deal with this pops guy? why do ppl here get so excited over players that haven't done a damn thing? they were like this about james white and even still with ian....if these guys were so damn good...why don't they belong to a team and if they do, why don't they get playing time?

[Brazil]

Your dream is my nightmare.

Why it would be a nightmare, I'm liking the lineups, the only thing would be putting Ian in the second lineup with gino and drew in the first.

Now we can't say realistic with Batum in a spurs jersey. It won't happen.

7th or 8th seed team

why ? obviously, like brazil said, there's little chance to see batum as a spurs.

but hill, mason, gooden, batum, with hopefully bowen still useful as defender and mahinmi only decent, all of those would be the best supporting cast the big 3 has had.

for me, that proves a thing, we're not so far from a good team next year. The big 3 healthy being the main thing for us.

i agree batum would be nice, but the spurs main weakness is their bigmen rotation.
The spurs can't be contender with a PF/C rotation of Duncan, Ian, Gooden and Pops.

imo,
pops is not nba material
Ian's level=mystery
gooden= too inconsistent

[JamStone]

While a real long shot, the suggestion to trade for Nicolas Batum is not completely unrealistic. Suggesting Bonner/Finley could get him is.

[Yuushi12]

i dont really feel like re signing gooden. he's just not consistent but who knows? after a whole training camp..

Mahinmi is unknown and you want him as starting C ?
Batum is .
Full of unproven youngs. Tank 2009 ?

I agree. We had that Pops guy on the team for a few days this year and he did nothing, so why do people think he's going to be the Spurs' savior all of a sudden? In Pop's eyes, Bonner, Thomas, Oberto, and Gooden were all better than him and considering how much people hate Bonner around here, why would they want a guy that is probably worse than him?

[Steve-O-Matic]

Pops has already been made a qualifying offer by Toronto so they can match any offer he gets this off-season. IOW, he's not going anywhere.

[Yogurt210]

with the roster we have now, we are very UNlikely to make the playoffs lol. I dont know why people are saying this is a bad roster.

[Brazil]

7th or 8th seed team

Healthy no way the big 3 let any team being 7th or 8th.

This team would be a good team with proven vets and young hungry players. IMHO this team would be there in POs to fight with good chance to win of course assuming everybody healthy and Ian being a good young rotation player. But once again Batum will stay in Portland.

yeah i went too far, they'd probably finish 3rd seed but i don't think the spurs can win it all with this bigmen rotation.

Ok you got Ian as our starting center who has not played in what three years..NO

Then you got Hill as our backup PG even though he can't dribble or distrubute the ball..NO

[ElNono]

I don't mind Gooden coming off the bench, but as a starting big next to Duncan we need another proven NBA caliber player. McDyes or Sheed come to mind. We need rebounding and we need a little scoring. But above all, this player needs to be a decent defender.

[mosdef17]

All this talk about Batum sucks because in last years draft we were going to pick him in the first round and try get George Hill early in the 2nd round but the very last pick before ours, the Rockets picked him and then traded him to Portland, I remember being shattered when I heard Batums name being called. We could have had both George Hill and Batum.

By the way, why does everyone want Gooden on the team? He won't play for anything less then the full MLE and I think we can do better with that money... Goodens defense is horrible, I like how he can put up points in a hurry but his defense is pretty horrible.

[sabar]

Nice 45 win team. A bunch of unproven young guys is not better than what we have.

[jason1301]

here is mine

Ship Mason, Bonner for Kaman and sign Dice, V-span, and keep Gooden, Fin.

Kaman/Dice
TD/Gooden
Fin/Bruce
Hill/Manu
TP/Spanoulis

according to reports from Greece Bourousis has an offer from the Spurs, and Batum claims RC told him he ll be a spurs soon so...

Dice/Bourousis/Ian
TD/Gooden
Batum/Bruce
Mason/Manu
TP/Hill

Fin retires, ship Bonner, KT and Oberto for batum... sweet!!!

its very realistic!!!!!

ok, not so but if we get Batum, Bourousis, and Dice without sacrificing much I will sh1t my pants.

[Yogurt210]

im telling you guys, its gunna happen!
