Another well thought out post by Wisconsin.You lose cred when you call Bonner a scorer.
Bowen is more of a threat to score than Bonner.
Props.

Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, excited about the signing of veteran guard Mike James, said the team doesn't have any interest in trading with Portland for Darius Miles, contrary to circulating rumors, and will not make a strong effort to sign Denver free agent Reggie Evans because of his contract demands.

Bump.
Hmmm ... not sure what I think of this thread. Going with Evans rather than Elson and Butler would have been the better move but Evans probably doesn't change much after the 2007 championship.
Heh, kinda cool Boris Diaw shoutout, tbh.
I thought this was to get everyone ready for the flop train.
Spurs got Bonner instead.
2006-07 was the year the Spuirs sacrificed shot-blocking and interior size (Rasho & Mohammed) for small-ball and another Big (Bonner) who could help spot Horry to stretch the floor from the perimeter. Then they signed Elson to outrun other bigs rather than to outrebound them. It was cheaper and the Spurs were able to win a championship with small-ball. Elson actually contributed more than Bonner did in that championship run through the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Fegan got Evans a 5-year deal to re-sign with the Nuggets, even though they would trade him and his contract the next year.
Meanwhile, the Spurs have lacked size and rebounding since 2005-06.
^ no doubt
Kinda crazy alternate universe where we could have had Rasho, Tim, Horry, and Evans.
The team is so different now, its just fascinating how the roster ended up evolving, with hindsight

Evans is a steal at the league minimum. But we got that in Diaw, at least for this year. Similar effect, but Diaw provides more passing and length, while Evans better rebounding and a bit more toughness. Not many players tougher than Evans.
I think it depends on the matchup who is the better defender. Diaw has the additional length to bother a Gasol, while Evans physical style better suited towards a Zac Randolph type of player.
For us, we probably could use the rebounding of an Evans more than the fruity passing of a Diaw, but that is just my opinion.
Back to the matchup at hand, I think we are fine shape with regard to the bigs. Clips have only one 7 footer, and his BB IQ is so low he may barely see the floor. I simply can't get too worried about the remaining trio of an ailing Griffin, then Evans and Martin. Tim has owned Martin for years, and I don't see that changing.
Actually appears the Spurs have the edge with regard to bigs...
