So Danny tweeted he'll be back in a couple weeks but retweeted the press saying he would miss four weeks.
wrap up his hand and and himself as a trade package to another team. Great opportunity to trade Green. His value is still somewhat decent.
Sometimes destiny slaps you in the face to make a move, this is the slap that the Spurs front office needed. Do it mitch
His value this year has been mostly on defense, and he has been pretty good on that when he is focused.
Overall problem with this is that for every player that goes out or can't play for whatever reason, it takes more effort and therefore there is more wear and tear on everybody else. Other players getting more fatigued making up for Manu's, Tiago's, and now Danny's absence is ultimately going to mean that the non-injured players right now become more injury prone.
except Green was currently shooting 33% in the last couple of months with 2 fully healthy hands.
Shh. You are not helping his trade value.
! Unlike most on this forum, I think Green is a big part of what we do. Especially on the defensive side. A lot of you think he's overrated on defense, and I think that's pretty dumb. That was some pretty "overrated defense" on Curry last year huh?
I wonder how much more time if any will De Colo earn.
he must have for sakes.
And if Pop gonna play Bonner more to have that 3 point threat
This might be me thinking outside the box but what if we play Nando at back up SF spot? Are there any stats on the effectiveness of Nando at SF?
Great. This really sucks. I don't have faith in De Colo or Joseph at all tbh. Gonna be up to Manu, Beli, and Mills to take on more minutes. .
Would be a good chance to see what Thomas could bring at the NBA level, but yeah Pop probably doesn't even know his name
Nando played some SF in his last year in Spain. It was an emergency situation because of injuries and he wasn't that great. I remembered him especially struggling against Mirotic. Now, if the opponent isn't too big/strong, he should do relatively well. He is surprisingly crafty.
Parker said on his radio show today that he expected Manu to play against NO, so Manu will be the backup SF.
Mirotic is not really a SF, as far as I know he mostly plays PF in Euroleague.
Yep, he is a natural PF but, if my memory is right, De Colo was matched up against him in Spanish league a couple of years ago.
My guess is Beli starts with Nando backing him at the 2 with Manu backing Kawhi at the 3. It would be nice to have Manu and Nando develop that Manu / Beli chemistry.
Yup all the belli u can eat with Manu and Nandi thrown in
I think Pop sandbags it tonight against the Pelicans and though we might still pull one out, I doubt it.
My guess is Thomas gets time as the second perimeter defender.
Anyway, Green clearly hurt his hand reaching in at the end of the first. Don't know why the media acts like it's a mystery.
I don't see why Pop would not try to get this one. Prior to last night's game the Spurs were on a 3 day break.
It should be something like that but Pop could go with Joseph over De Colo as backup SG.
Horrible luck. Gone for a month. The injuries are starting to pile up.
Guys remember this is that part of the season where a vital rotation player goes out (Manu/Green/Splitter this time around) and some role player gets his chance to shine and ends up proving himself and getting a bigger role. I recall Neal stepping up when Manu went out, what was it, 2012? and getting a more consistent role afterwards.
Last night they said it was a sprain and x rays were negative and he could return to the game and today his finger is fractured, weird
I could care less what they were on their off days
They happen to be 2 our better defenders...
