Someone else mentioned this idea a few days back. Definitely beats Diaw/West on the floor together.
And it probably doesn't help that he has spent time guarding centers when Pop goes small. He simply doesn't have the height (or hops) to guard 7 footers.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.
I cant Imagine timmy coming off the bench. or Aldridge being willing to play all of those minutes at the 5.
Yeah, they'll only trade West if he requests it.
Should he, at some point between 12/15 and the trade deadline, they should offer him and Butler (Simmons too, if he's required to match salaries) for Neal and Blair.
The Wizards offered him the MLE, in the hopes that he'd replace Pierce as the veteran leader. They later acquired Dudley to fill that role though, so their interest would probably depend on whether Beal can finally avoid a long term injury and whether Humphries proves over the long haul to be a serviceable stretch four.
I can KIND of understand why we might want Neal back (Id rather bring back Ghill.) but why would we ever want Blair back?
It's not so much about wanting him, it's about getting a big back in the exchange. He's actually a better fit, since he's a superior rebounder and he's a roller. They could have him and Marjanovic compete for the backup C job.
That's the thing with West: Because he is who he is and did what he did, they're not benching him in perpetuity and they're doubly not for an unproven player. But Blair doesn't have nearly the same clout and didn't give up $10.5M to join them, so they'd have no such qualms. Besides, he hasn't been a rotation player in a year plus anyway, so it's not like it would be new to him this time (if Marjanovic ultimately claimed the job). I actually think he'd be happy to be back.
Mostly this tbh, though I loved his coaching job in the first three games.
West has highest FG% on Spurs right now (57%). He's playing smart in that respect (as are Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker).
Free Bonner!!!!!!!
it's that he doesn't even look like he's trying. He' doesn't even put a hand up on defense.
craterface pop has barely been playing him it's not on west
Right now West is worth every penny he's getting paid. Let's not forget that the Spurs got him on a deep discount. What is the alternative? He provides veteran experience and toughness. I think its way too early to pull the plug on him and give up. Same thing goes for the starting five. There's no reason to panic and do something hasty like benching anyone from the current line-up. The coaches will see what is working, what needs to be worked on and what just needs to be changed. It's only been 5 regular season games folks. Patience.
There is absolutely 0 chance SA trades David West. You just can't do that.
Yup looks done to me.
NOT he looks amazing out there.
He's not for all teams, but he's a super seat player. Once he fits in fully he'll be great.
Not done
Good game, Mr. West! I see you're slowly getting the hang of it. Expect more dunks and assists from Manu next game.
I'm so glad, he deserves a good game like this...
Great game David West! Player of the game in my opinion. Awesome to see West and Diaw playing well together.
Almost a low rent triple double.
9/6/9 played very unselfish you can tell West and Aldridge are buying into the system and having fun moving the ball
I'm so glad, he deserves a good game like this...
West moving the ball better now. Glad to see the improvement.
