    Maybe it's something you haven't thought of.

    I guess maybe it's a Hibbert situation, and TP smashed his girl..

    Is this where I'm supposed to ask you "like what?", and then you'll ask me something, and then we'll get trapped in the ChumpDumper hurricane of questions?

    Yes, because he gives the Spurs a higher ceiling.

    Change in the system probably happens this year regardless if LMA comes, due to Kawhi's emergence....but agreed that Aldridge needs to play much better....just don't think he deserves much blame for Danny being garbage offensively so far this season.

    Seems to me like a typica (albeit extended) Green shooting slump. It'll be troublesome if it's still an issue in January...then we might have to blame the new contract tbh.

    I'm not really "blaming" Aldridge, tbh..I just think he's going to have to play a lot better and make much more of an impact to justify and negate Green's historic decline(if it stays this way) following the change in style..he's gonna have to, regardless, as the Spurs aren't going to win if both Green and Aldridge remain in their current form..

    OP has the wrong le for thread. Should state "Was Green worth it, tbh?" $10 million for a 3D guy that can't hit a three or Dribble or pass a ball. I cringe every time he touches the ball. And to think some people on here were saying he was worth $12-$14 million.

    Meh, you also said Kyle Anderson was better than Kawhi, tbh..

    I said he has more offensive game than Kawhi. Kawhi will take manus role in the court after manu retires. Pop has already had the ball in his hand at the end of quarters. Kawhi doesn't have that role because he cannot create off
    the dribble or get to the rim or make the right pass. Anyone with a basketball IQ should be able to see his potential

    Danny's poor play is on Danny.

    You can't blame someone else on the team for his kind of suckage. This one is entirely on Danny and I am rooting for him to get it together, but at this point, he's losing part of his role to Simmons.

    Warriors World has the answer for you:

    This is hardly Danny Green's first year of being a terrible offensive player. If part of their plan was counting on him offensively, then the plan was flawed

    Are you familiar with Warriors fans on the internet? Most of them had never watched GS play prior to last year's playoffs, tbh..

    The Warriors home fans are cool, I've been to a few of their home games, and they supported the team even when they were just average..most Warriors fans on the internet are bandwagoners that are relatively new to basketball, though..their forums had very little traffic in the past, now their "fans" are ubiquitous on the internet..a lot of corny, vanilla fans that like GS because they are led by light-skinned, non-threatening players with a progressive playing style that appeals to Reddit-types..

    Nope. I just said maybe it's something you haven't thought of. Don't get nervous.

    LMA's responsibility was to come in and upgrade splitter, not to make up for Green's shooting

    His responsibility was to negate some of the reliance on Parker/Ginobili, and to give the Spurs a player that could create his own shot at a high level, particularly down the stretch, that's what everybody assumed..they weren't signing Lamarcus Aldridge, a career high-usage, high-volume player to be a Splitter-type

    Duncan is supposed to take Splitter's role, not Aldridge..

    Yes. But I still think he's confused on what his role is. I think we all are tbh.

    To clarify, I meant is the trade-off of the Spurs' version of Aldridge worth losing the Green of the past 3 years?(assuming he doesn't turn it around)..not asking if the Spurs should regret signing Aldridge, of course they shouldn't

    Obviously Aldridge over Splitter is a no-brainer, and you don't turn down a player of Aldridge's caliber in his prime, even if he's the big man Iverson and a soft jump-shooter(which he is)..
    It's mental with Danny. Shooters normally don't take this long to adjust. And LMA was totally worth it. Like I've been saying, every Spur has seen their offense/shooting percentage increase (Kawhi has regressed a bit over the past 5 games, though). LMA is also part of our best 5 man units.

    Burn the tape game, really. We always struggle at Toronto. Kawhi was obviously sick and his lack of energy seemed to be contagious throughout the starting lineup. And even then, the Spurs still made it a game in the 4th with a good team who took the Warriors to the limit without Jonas (I know Carroll was out, but that works in their favor. He's garbage).

    My worries with this team remain: Health, Tony Parker regressing, and the lack of another penetrator (crossing fingers Simmons will develop).

    Why do you credit Aldridge for causing Green's FG% to go down, but not credit him for causing Parker's, Kawhi's, and Duncan's to go up?

    Danny gets many open shots and is not making them ... this has nothing to do with LMA
