Like i envision before this off season start, Manu will play next season the majority of his time at sf, that is right now at this point of his career it's the only role he capeble to, he should be forbid to play at guard and endle the ball too much... So that is the reason Spurs aren't in hurry to bring another sf...

..........and some of us think Manu will move back into the starting lineup so he won't try to over play being the "man" off the bench. this allows Danny Green to be the backup SF, which he showed he could do in the playoffs. This way Pop keeps a fresh perimeter defender on the floor at all times.
Lol where the fuk u get this info from ?
its logical that he is back up 3, however RC said we have a hole in the 3 spot so Manu is backing up Danny tbh
He's the backup 2, and he's basically the backup playmaker too.
He will have the exact same role as last year since the Spurs brought in nobody to take over some of his responsibility. Expect more of the same regarding Ginobili and how he's used.
Spur fans, you better hope Corey Joseph and Kawhi Leonard take a quantum leap forward offensively.
Stoopid post is stoopid, tbh.
When I think of reasons we lost in the finals, backup SF wasn't one of them tbh
I think Manu goes back to the bench at the 2 guard spot with the same role as last year. Green will still be the starter.
I think Belli can handle some of that duty you mentioned but this ^^^^^^^^That is very true.
I think Pop is part of the trend--maybe the trendsetter for the whole league--in using players who can play several positions as interchangeable pieces. While Manu and Green aren't as tall as the prototypical SF of the past, neither is Leonard and neither was Bowen.
We have to stop thinking in terms of the game in the NBA of years ago because the 3pt shot has changed the game so much.
Ginobili might play some SF but he will still have a lot the ball in his hands. Spurs haven't signed him to a $14.5M/2 years contract to play off the ball while he isn't a great shooter or defender.
He can still drive to the basket and draw fouls.
So that will ruin Spurs next season if that the case... Gino need to transform his game to being an off the ball player, need to work in his outside shooting this summer, especially corner threes, to focus more on defense, and trying to be like super role player for the team.
But not as primerry player, only as secondary option, if he will be primerry player he will do more bad than good.
What? He is a good defender and we always take offensive fouls because of his defense, especially in a 1v1.
Nash takes a lot of charges. Do you think he is a good defender?
define "ruin the Spurs next season"? 50 wins instead of 58 wins?
And Manu isn't a "great" defender at this point, agree with Bruno on that, but he's more than serviceable. He definitely did a good job on Wade during the Finals, sometimes even better than Green. Not really worried about that. Neal coming back would probably be more worrisome, and Beli made improvements in Chicago, but he isn't anything to write home about in that department either, tbh...
Are you comparing Ginobilis defense to Nash's?
Some of, but not very much at all. The Bulls are the only other team I watch extensively, and Belinelli definitely can't do tons in terms of playmaking. He's better than nothing, yeah, but he's not exactly a primetime creator. He's kinda just a little better than "can't do anything but shoot". I wouldn't get my hopes up too much on him makin plays for the Spurs unfortunately.
I don't remember Green playing much SF in the playoffs, he made some nice plays on LBJ but he was playing out if his mind that series. I do remember Green filling in for Leonard at the beginning of the season and struggling horribly at SF.
Green looks far too small to be guarding SF's, he's great at defending small guards and PG's, but lacks the strength to guard bigger guys. Wade had his way with Green because he was too big, he'd bump him and Green would go flying.
ginobili is not a defensive liability. not sure where all that's coming from. he's not as good as he used to be, but he used to be one of the better defenders around.
Manu plays SF then he is going to be wearing a body cast and miss at least forty games.
Manu not a 3 hes a 2 u foo!
Okay, but that still sounds better than Neal to me. I guess we might have to rely on a 21 year old Corey Joseph doing better or taking some of the load for backup playmaking.True.
