Well even after Joe Johnson left, I think the Hawks' best player is Al Horford. Now, Horford for me is a good Spurs player. Unfortunately Atlanta will never let him go. He is on a good contract as well.
the numbers are note the problem, spurs never relied on individual statistic, the secret of spurs succes is balance and chemistry.

No the secret is the stars playing at star level like every good team in the league. Doesn't make you feel as special but its the truth.
They didn't even reach the playoffs until Al Horford arrived
of course, but star who allow their team to sign good supporting cast cause they don't beg for max contract. and thats the thing that makes spurs 's star special
45% is frighteningly mediocre for a 4 who thinks he's a floor spreader. His TS% last season was... 49%. Yuck.
good player posting numbers on a bad team
dont get suck into this again like the spurs did with RJ misleading stats, come here to ba cog rotational player where he wont be posting those sort of stats behind the big 3
What is Stephen Jackson's TS%, because that's the only player currently contributing that the author is suggesting the Spurs give up.
Well it's obviously much worse.
But I don't think Atlanta bites. They'd look like clear losers and the Spurs have rarely pulled off lopsided trades.
Actually, it's 48.6%. If you're unhappy about Stephen Jackson, you should want no part of Josh Smith in our offense. At least Jack is only playing 9 minutes. Smith would be mucking up the offense for probably 35 minutes per game. Yuck.
When Duncan posted 2000 pts, 1000 rebounds, and 200 blocks in a single season, it sure didn't hurt.
Duncan shot 48 or 49% last season, that isn't that far off. Duncan also had the benefit of playing with a much better play maker in Parker/Ginobili.
So you think Smith would average the same numbers on the Spurs as he does now in Atlanta?
Timmy was at 53.1 TS% last season.
There is a HUGE difference between 45% and 49%.People are marvelling at Tim's rejuvenation, and he's only gone from .492 to .505, a much smaller jump than the Grand Canyon between .450 and .490.
Did you read the last part of my comment, better coaching, & better passers certainly didn't hurt Duncan's percentages. if Josh Smith completely cut out the 3 he could improve that number, similar to Marion and Dirk when they stopped shooting nearly as much 3's. Looking at Tim's FG% to determine his "rejuvenation" if I'm understanding you point, makes no since.There is a HUGE difference between 45% and 49%.
Per 36 minutes
-Scoring in the highest since he was 32.
-Blocks per 36 minutes highest of career/ Personal fouls fewest of career.
-Total Rebounding highest since age 31, 4th best of 15 year career.
-Steals highest of career
-Free Throw % highest of career.
No, I meant that the comment that the spurs don't rely on big individual numbers, is a little idealist, Duncan was an absolute monster. The Spurs benefited from his all around greatness. Smith couldn't dream of those numbers, but definitely has a versatile collection of skills. 19pts, 9.5 rpg, 1.5 bpg, 1.4 spg and 4.0 apg is very impressive. Considering he had to share with Iso-Joe for last year.
He's also at 55 TS%, which while not a career high looks great especially since he's taking more shots away from the basket.
Didn't look at TS%. Someone commented to me about Smith's mediocre shooting percentage and I replied with Tims FG%. I actually don't know Smith's TS% last season.
Duly noted.
That was me, and Smith's TS% last season was a whopping 49%. That blows.
Fair enough. He must be a really ty FT shooter.
I love when people does like they doesn't understand what i mean, of course a great team have great player that put big numbers but my point is that putting superstar with big number in the same team is not the magic answer to be successful just watch the lakers!
I know it's a bit difficult for most nba fan to understand that statistics doesn't say it all of a player, a team or a game.
I get your point, but I was making a joke and then someone asked me about it an i responded.
Didn't realize your were on such a higher plane with your fundamental understanding of the game of basketball, I'll simply defer to you every time I get stumped with the basic questions regarding the NBA.
for sure, I'll be more than happy to educate yourself.
