    Although not exactly the biggest of problem, Bellineli left a role that none of the current bench players we have this year can replicate. Patty, has played this current role of his for a couple of season already..so he's not an option. I highly doubt Simmons or Anderson can replicate the superior off ball movements of Bellineli. He was an instant scorer. The team looked for him when he was on the floor.

    He averaged around 20 minutes last year. Even if we're to assume Leonard shouldering even more load in the offense, it isn't enough to cover the 20 minutes...

    Patty Playing more?
    Green playing more?

    Patty or Danny? who is shooting better...But I'd like to see Danny getting more playing time even if his 3's aren't falling

    I don't know about "replicating." Beli has a unique combo or body and skill set. But West, Jimmer, Simmons, Anderson can make the bench more of a force this season. That's pretty awesome when you think about it.

    Replace a guy who can't shoot outside the circle with one of the most prolific PF scorers in the league.

    That Dude will be missed tbh. Hopefully they found a diamond in the rough in Simmons. He fits the mold as a versatile 2 guard more than any other player. Patty returning to form would be huge as well.

    He was one of the few who showed up in the playoffs last year along with Patty (Tim too of course), he will be missed so I hope someone else can step up. His 3 still sticks out against Miami when they cut the lead to 7 and he stepped up and hit that huge shot to stall the run.

    Hopefully the starting unit can build leads and this becomes less of an issue.

    With the bench. The talent is there, but the chemistry is what we're waiting on. I honestly have no idea and I don't even think pop knows right now. Much more important to build the starting unit and then we can around with the bench during the season.

    you get another shooting G who pulls from anywhere = Jimmer.

    The area Spurs will need to replace in a big way is Manu. This won't be done, and KL can't do it... KA or bust

    All I heard from this board is how Beli's offensive production is cancelled out by his horrible defense. Make up your mind.

    Beli's contract will be reasonable by after this season; and I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't fit the Kings. Not saying it'll happen; just saying he could come back. $6 mil for a shooter proven in our system is not a big deal if the cap space is there.

    Is just rotational thing, I doubt we will frequently see Patty, Manu, ? , West, Diaw all at one go, Danny or Kawhi just stay in. West is the only one of those guys who is not a recognised perimeter threat. With that being said he is going to be a more respected interior and mid range threat than Baynes was so that is going to draw more inside defence. I'm not 100% sure we need more spacing out there because anytime Bobo goes out his man goes with him.

    I really like like the look of the second unit no matter who plays the 3, though if I got a vote I'd go for Simmons because of his athleticism and someone needs to get out on the break with Patty.
