Post Tim Center Discussion

[DMC]

I'm curious, what timetable a retirement announcement would follow? Right after the finals?

I hope Tim comes back...hard to fear seeing a "good bye tim" headline right now.

Same goes for Manu.

I think they drag it out until just before training camp. The team will probably know but they won't release it. They need to sell season tickets.

It's all semantics. No one who matters gives a what we decide.

While I agree with the second sentence, I don't think that makes this semantics.

Of course. Thus the second sentence.

Again, people are too obsessed with the starter. The Spurs will need a bona fide starting-caliber big. They don't need to worry about guys like Plumlee or Aldrich until they settle that out. Is it possible to get one of those guys to start while finding a better big to be the guy off the bench? Sure. But that's practically semantics. There's not way anyone can look at this depth chart:

PF: Aldridge, ?, ?
C: Plumlee, ?, ?

And think, "Sure, we can fill the rest of this rotation out with min guys, drafts picks and the room exception." Like how on Earth do people think that's going to work out better than it did this season?

I advocated that PATFO go after Marvin Williams/Aldrich & finish games out w/ Softridge playing the center spot. In the age of small-ball, signing a mobile hybrid forward is more imperative than signing a starting quality center considering Kerr only plays Bogut 20 minutes & Marvin can guard Ibaka.

The solution to Kanter is PnR'ing him to death which would require acquiring a starting quality PG like Teague or a backup who can run PnRs like Darren Collison. At the end of the day, if Softridge doesn't grow a pair then it's all for naught.
