Diaw is still on the team..
No depth?????
You have a second team with Mills, Ginobili, Anderson, Diaw and (possibly David West) ..... that's an impressive five right there that can shoot lights out.
Diaw? No, he's still here.
Splitter / Baynes / CoJo minutes get absorbed by Aldridge - yes I know CoJo is a guard but wouldn't be surprised to see less minutes playing two PG and a SG at the three. Diaw could get some burn at the 3 in big lineups, and Anderson likely will play pretty big minutes in the regular season
Biggest hole of those departing is Marco, who played a ton of minutes.
Joseph might still be around depending on exactly where the cap number comes in at, how much Duncan takes, and if the Spurs can somehow do a sign and trade for Aldridge and stay over the cap, allowing the Spurs to keep and use Joseph's Bird rights.
I'd trade Beli/Baynes/Splitter for Aldridge tbh.
Kyle Anderson has to contribute 10 mpg and let's hope Lalanne can at least provide a few breathers for Duncan and Aldridge. I know it's a long shot but this Atkins kid was the ACC defensive player of the year maybe there's a chance he could help as well.
Belli is the biggest loss, IMO.
People ignore the fact that the Spurs rotation shrinks to 8 in the playoffs with Baynes/Marco out. The depth is fine for the playoffs when Duncan/Green/Kawhi all play 30+ minutes and unfourtunately Porker also. During the regular season they'll need a warm body at the C and player who can play the 2/3 and hit some 3s.
He really is!! That is until we or if we can find a cheaper replacement. If we can't, we're ed. He knew the system. Know the system means so much more than talent alone.
Really? I exhort you, please think before starting threads....or posting, for that matter.
Only from the offense point of view.
If Anderson plays in his place, the 3 point shooting will not be as good, but the passing, defense and one-on-one opportunities will be better. It is almost a wash.
For some reason, I'm pawning for Spurs to get Wayne Ellington and D. West. Then another big in there (Aldrich or someone).
Depth is fine. Balance is an issue. LMA can take Splitter+Bonner's minutes (plus a few more when we would have had Kawhi as a small ball 4), but we've no true center to fill in for Baynes' contribution.
If we sign D-West then balance will still be a concern but we'll have figured righly that getting that level of talent outweighs it.
Wait... I don't think Bonner is gone.
Also, I completely forgot about the Spurs draft picks .. Lalanne ... with 7'5" wingspan.
Then there Livio who may just be ready this year and sign up.
Sign ALL the power forwards!
Think it will really depend on who else they can sign.
Was Marco's defense THAT bad? All reports say Anderson is slow and is a liability on D.
Geez, if we dont sign Bonner again we are fried.
I thought Bertans would be coming over by now. What's the deal...injuries? Or is this a wasted "throw in" to the Khawi deal?
Yeah just build Bonner's statue already. , he just won't go away.
As your screen name implies, he suffered another ACL tear a month or two ago.
This team is paper thin right now.
We better land a serviceable big and shooter
Offseason ain't over yet homie.
Cojo hasnt left yet. Unless i missed something. The back up center and sg/sf position.
