Would be very interesting if the Spurs do this. IMO they have the depth to do it. It's amazing how many teams have openly adopted the "rest" strategy Pop employs throughout the season. This would take it to another level.
I was referring to a potential Mills trade, where that big would be the return.

This is the perfect example of Green taking the night off on defense. That was just putrid. Your better than that buddy.
You guys might need to understand, Jimmer is a guard that can play both guard positions. He is a guy that reminds me of Rex Chapman from the Phoenix Suns (no white comparisons jokes). He is the perfect third guard to have in a rotation, and he can start at either guard spot from time to time.
The best part is, next year he is cheap. , I hope if finishes a long career with San Antonio.
I love Patty and who knows about this kid we got from Sacramento, but Jimmer is also the perfect guard to have out there if we are going to space the floor for our big men.
Yes Golden State will abuse him on offense as will most athletic point guards, but he is a situational player that can really kill a defense.
And as someone else stated earlier, We Stacked.
Imagine this lineup, Duncan Aldridge in the low post surrounded by Jimmer Green and Bonner. Our low post scoring will be unstoppable since no one can afford to sag off their man or they get burned.
here is my favorite lineup.
We need a 3. So we put Bonner at the 5 Kwahi at the 4, Green at the 3 Jimmer at the 2 and Mills at the 1. We getting a 3 off. And it's going to be a high percentage shot.
That sounds terrible, honestly.
Except that Manu seems to need to play a lot to get into rhythm and stay in it. At least regularly with his minutes pared back.
There was definitely some trash talk between the two in college.
kawhi should be laughing just a split second later in that.
Stop trying to make Bonner or Diaw happen at the 3 except for a very rare occasion that diaw is there.
Before and after for Kawhi Leonard after 4 years with the Spurs:
Before and after for Jimmer Fredette after 4 years elsewhere:
Hmmm.... Spurs must be juicing their players!
If they want this type of player, not better was to sign that bartnes from SL?
As long as he starts playing around late January, he will be fine. I expect the rest to come earlier in the season as Pop is going to let the young guys get their feet early.
Need to consider that Manu needs to get some reps playing with the new guys. He needs to get down the right timing, strengths of the receiving players and where/when best to place the ball. Manu is one of the main playmakers and it could be disastrous if he doesn't have a feel of what Aldridge or West is going to do.
Spurs = World All-star team
So, you build him to a crescendo in the last 30-40 games of the season. Fixed. It's a long season.
Wow, you are right. Danny consistently screwing up here.
Yea, he takes a long time to get back into form from injury. The older you are, the harder it is to gain your peak athletic shape and stamina back. He has to play with some regularity.
That's a of a fantasy land you live in.
I'm a huge Manu homer, but Manu hasn't stayed healthy for 30-40 games, and really what would be 60-70 games including playoffs in your scenario, in a long long time. Except for the time he broke his elbow in the last regular season game, he seems to come down with something about 30 games into the season and then it lingers for a long time, screwing any shot at getting into rhythm. In my purely subjective opinion, I don't think you can just put him in bubble wrap until January and then unwrap up and expect good results. He needs to play early and often. Only thing I can think of is to limit his minutes even more, especially in the second of b2b games, and perhaps not play him some of those insane 4 games in 5 night stretches. And maybe get him a personal fitness trainer and prescribe a diet of no burgers, bats, dunks, or Brazilian steakhouses.
Total over-reaction. Play him limited minutes first 40 games. Build him to crescendo in last 40 games. It's going to be just fine.
(intended as reply to B&S)
Wrong game dummy
...you just explained exactly why he should NOT play early and often ( at least not for many minutes ), he gets injured...he's old.I'm a huge Manu homer, but Manu hasn't stayed healthy for 30-40 games, and really what would be 60-70 games including playoffs in your scenario, in a long long time
Unlike some of you, I really don't see Pop playing Fredette at the PG spot. He will be an undersized SG whose role will be to bring a coring punch form the end of the bench with some 3 pointers.
Do you think he will team with Bonner to core pears as well as cherries and apples for the PPopper after game bashes?
Cause i really love pears.
ElNono said additionally some dynomite recipies including red ingrediants have been cooked up since the signing of Bonbon.
Think he will be encouraged by Pop to have a Patty and Gary Neal type at ude, that being chuck it up at will?
Like when Pop got on Barrys case for not shooting.
Shoot!
I haven't seen enough of Jimmy in the NBA to see how often he chucks pre Spurs.
