the parker quote is confusing. he sucked for basically all of last year, but his only "good" month was march iirc, so hard to say he looked gassed in spring. he was better in the spring than he was earlier in the year, which isn't saying much
And for the Spurs they wrote:
- Tim will get extra rest, ensuring LMA get his usual regular season touches
- Danny is still one of the most underrated 3 and D guys in the league, averaging over 1 block per game, even though he couldn't hit the ocean last playoffs
- Kawhi's health an ongoing concern, as he's never played over 66 games in a season in his career
- Tony looked gassed by mid-spring last season, and Pop will have to manage his minutes much more this season
- Patty is expected to have a strong rebound season after being injured most of the last one
- McCallum is solid insurance in case Patty can't find his stroke
- David West will be the guy that sacrifices the most touches in comparison with previous seasons
- Potential for a lot of versatility off the bench, with Diaw and Manu creating, Marjanovic's freak size and Bonner chucking the occasional 3
- Simmons trying to carve a rotation spot and Fredette trying to turn around his career provide hungry end of the bench guys
- Anderson will likely play very little and visit Austin frequently
Thoughts?

I don't think KA will be in Austin as much. With Beli gone he is looking to be Kawhi's primary back-up.
Most of it is terrible tbh; par for the course. What magazine was it so I know not to bother reading it?
Tp will lead the team in PPG imho
Decent enough except for the fact that Tim was the Spurs best player in the playoffs.
We signed Aldridge?
-I find it very hard to believe LMA will get 20 shots like he did last year. He won't be playing 38mpg(he said he wanted his minutes managed) and Kawhi was only taking 18 shots at the most at the end of the season. With both of them demanding touches i just don't see it. I think he'll be more efficient though so his ppg should be similar.
-Spurs fans know danny's value so not much to be said.
-I am pretty concerned with Kawhi's health. It shouldn't hurt the team as much if he does miss time because of LaMarcus, but I would officially consider him injury prone if he miss 10 or more games.
-Tony definitely needs to handle less of a scoring burden. Even if he can excel still, he focus should be staying healthy and distributing. Not sure how much less minutes he can play because the team needs pg play. The only other person we know that can do that is Manu and he may need to play less minutes too or risk getting burned out (or just not have it anymore).
-Yep, Patty should be back.
-I like what I saw from McCallum in the Kings games I watched so I'm hopeful he will contribute.
-I like west, but I just not sure how he fits with the team yet. I like the dimension Boris brings more but I can't help think West will eat Boris's minutes if Bobo doesn't play inspired.
-Simmons over Fredette please
-Anderson could run the bench if his midrange and foul shot attempts are as good as they were in summer league. If not, I don't think he will be useful until he can shot 3s.
It was some '2015 Pro-Basketball Preview' magazine, with yellow letters and a picture of Curry in the cover. IIRC, it was from Rotoworld, so lots of fantasy basketball in it.
I just read the Spurs preview page and put it back.
Welp, there's your problem right there. No Lyfe got posts better sports analysis than those s.
How do you play more than 66 games in a lockout season?
Parker looked like the entire season. Gassed. Lol
We know you mailed in that 2 year subscription.
Shut the up you insufferable prick. Your argument is a red herring. Kawhi is a re cripple that'll probably die when he forgets to breath. The fact that he played in lockout season is pretty irrelevant.
Jeez, op and his attention whoring. Guys look at me, I'm smart
Plus he sat all summer too man.

Stop attention whoring. K is really pissed at you.

-Some of it makes sense. LMA may play less minutes but he will be featured and get shots. Not sure how many, but he will get his due. Even Tim said he's riding LMA coattails at this point in that bleacherreport interview. I'm sure they want him aggressive.
-Kawhi's health is always a concern, nothing chronic or year ending, but it is true he's always missed games. Hopefully he has a good season.
-Like someone mentioned above Tony's best month was march. He wasn't gassed. He was injured again. Pop may mamange him differently than we have seen anyways. He's the most concerning of all Spurs.
-Agree Patty should be back healthy and shooting well
-Mcallum hopefully plays well. He may end up being the most important acquisition after Aldridge, considering our main guards are old.
-I dont see Kyle Anderson in Austin. There is not much wing depth and outside of him and Simmons everyone else is severely undersized. I have him as backup Sf over Simmons but it may be similar to Patty/Cojo both guys having chances. Either way, unlikely he goes back to Austin for a long stretch like last year.
-i don't see Bonner playing much at all. At this point he is injury insurance and will need to see that 3 % go up. If his shot is not back he is done
-Jimmer is a big question mark. Simmons will get minutes and may prove to be a revelation.
It's like it came from a giant silver and black fortune cookie.
This is the magazine cover, for those trying to avoid it:
thanks for sharing it does seem like "predictions" is the focus of the magazine for those invested in fantasy teams. Some of the predictions are ok, not widely off the mark, like I pointed above.This is the magazine cover, for those trying to avoid it:
Yeah, most of those magazines are good just for a quick browse, tbh...
They clearly don't read SpursTalk.
