    He should play with Duncan or Aldridge. Asking him to be the force down low isn't fair to him.

    lol, West is going to save our ass in a playoff game and you are gonna feel real stupid about piling on a guy who is 5 games into a stint with a new team
    Its more likely that Boban and Butler will save the second unit. But okay

    He got outplayed by Butler today. That's a warning sign. Pop at least needs to look at Boban. We'll see what happens on 12/15, when guys become tradeable again. The Spurs have the contracts to trade for an MLE player. And there are a couple out there who might be worth the look.

    He was getting outplayed by Scola last season....the guy is done as an impact player ala David Lee but he's a better option than Bonner. I'm glad he's getting exposed EARLY in the regular season since that will force Pop to play Boban who's a better fit alongside Diaw.

    Not sure if this is what you're implying but Pop isn't trading West to a lottery team just because he isn't gelling by December tbh....it'd mess with his beloved Uncle persona that he's been trying to cultivate for a while now.....huge move after West walked away from 11mil.....

    Blaming DWest for how he's looked is prob the dumbest thing Spurfan can do right now....especially when Pop hasn't coached worth a damn since March.

    Pop has been an absolute garbage coach for most of the calendar year...but he gets away with it because he's Pop....

    He will be fine , he will be needed in certain matchups especially in the playoffs or foul trouble. Defense has to get better, but needs a rim protector like Duncan or Boban around him though. Still can score.

    West just needs time to adjust to the system and court time... Can't expect a guy to look fresh with only playing spot minutes...

    way too soon for this kind of thread


    I do believe Spurs are focusing a lot on LMA fitting the system, that's the main work in progress for this team tbh... For now attention is not so much on West also because second unit issue is more on lack of competent back up for Manu (Kyle Anderson )

    Also yesterday second unit, West etc was not the issue... Issue was starting 5 and TOVs tbh

    It's not West's "fault" in the sense of he's making mistakes. But he's absolutely overmatched right now. Can Pop help him out a bit by changing schemes and rotations? Yes. But that'll only help so much. Right now, David's been a net-negative.

    Has KA been a net negative?

    Watching him live last night, he looks very lost on D. He also needs to catch and shoot more, as opposed to trying to up fake and drive. He's getting the looks within the offense.

    Also, Danny needs to let it fly and stop driving as much. There were a few occasions last night where he up faked and drove when he just needed to pull the trigger from 3.

    West needs to get into Spurs shape. That's all. Until then, yes, he will be a weak link. I expect in a couple of months we will finally see improvements from West.

    This. I think he just need time, he can't forget how to play in a few months. He had a good last year in Indiana.

    He actually had a terrible year in Indiana and pacers fans by and large were thrilled when he surprised everyone by opting out.

    On the one hand he was accused of or appeared to be checked out on the season and quit on the team after George was hurt in the summer. That was believed to explain his bad play and demeanor. But there's always the possibility that he found himself finished last year, and all the other things about his demeanor was his reaction to finding out he couldn't perform anymore. Maybe opting out was his way of absolving himself of guilt, for a guy who had talked so tough about not ring chasing, now he couldn't take money he knew he couldn't deserve.

    Somehow it must be possible to get him open for his midrange shot ... we were able to do it when McDyess played here, so I do not know why the PnP does not work with LMA or West ...

    Those questioning whether West is done obviously didn't watch him play last year. His offense will improve over time but his defense will have no redeeming qualities. He will be a total liability on that end of the court.
