I heard he's also bad at D...
We need someone to anchor it on both sides imho.
Monroe would be catastrophic for us on both sides of the ball. He's not a good enough defender/rim protector to play with Diaw and he's a woeful shooter which means he can't play in an offensive system with Splitter.
I like Monroe, he's a good player and I suspect someone will be getting him for a bargain price, but he doesn't fit in the front court rotation here.
Of course he is. But besides Gasol/Howard/Davis name another 2 way big man in the league? We aren't getting anything close to Duncan that's for sure. Gasol is a dream. Unless he desperately wants a ring there is no way he comes here.
But that's settling for mediocrity when you have at least a chance albeit small at a 2-way big.
There's no point in spending money just to spend it, thats how you end up like the Pistons paying Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings a combined $80m. You only end up having to give up draft picks to get rid of them.
and also this ^
Son, there is no chance. Thinking Gasol would leave Memphis for SA is frankly stupid. Grizzlies currently destroying one of the hottest teams in the league.
What? I never said they should sign Monroe, I said he would be as good a fit as one can realistically expect.
Then don't spend money at all for a one-dimensional big. And there's never not a chance son, don't pull that BS on me tbh.
AGree though, memphis looking good.
Zero chance. Give me 1 good reason why Gasol would leave Memphis for SA?
When did I say they should sign him?
Clearly we need Lamarcus Aldridge
What about Dragic and Monroe.. Manu and Duncan replacements
Marc and Tiago would make a nice combo. But they still won't be a real contender if Tim/Manu aren't on the team. TOSB Tony is only going to get worse with every passing year.
Even AD is not as good a fit as tim duncan is now. Even though there may be a gulf b/w him and the other bigs, he is even further (downward) from Tim.
i'm not interested in Greg Monroe given his expected price tag tbh
wot.
you make him fit. Davis is the type of player where its worth changing what you do to accommodate him. that being said, i don't see how he doesn't fit. duncan rarely posts up anymore anyway. he sets screens and takes elbow jumpers, or rolls and finishes. at this point Davis is the better shooter and the better pick and roll finisher. davis is also a better rim protector and rebounder than duncan is.
Tim is a better passer, but that's really about it. Davis on these Spurs would be unfair
Davis on the Spurs...NBA = ED
Gasol would be a great fit on the Spurs, but NFW he's leaving the Grizz.
To play for an all time great coach, the youngest FMVP since Duncan who is also one of the best if not the best wing defender in the league, and a roster full of champions.
I have a feeling this thread is going to reach 100 pages during the offseason.
this. Gasol would probably be the closest emulation of current Timmy.
Davis would be the next Spurs legend following Robinson-Duncan if that happened. there's realistically no way Davis ever plays for the Spurs unless he personally really really wants to
EDIT: Wrong thread.
I think Davis goes to a major market if NO hasn't improved in 3 years. NY, LAL, etc.
Indeed, but who would you trade Splitter for then?
Popovich, Leonard, Organization, more or less equal money.
When you suggested Monroe in my post.
The New York Daily News is a tabloid.... they're always reporting unsubstantiated stuff that doesn't pan out. Totally unreliable.
