    You know these guys are becoming less helpful in today's NBA game. I don't think resigning Boban is a good idea. He isn't mobile enough to play useful minutes in the NBA. So why not bring in mobile bigs in the program (Lalanne and Milutinov) or around the program (Ndoye). Look at the finals Mosgov and Bogut are only getting like 10-15 minutes. Sure OKC was big but Adams, Ibaka, and Kanter are all mobile. And Adams is a good example of a Raw developmental big that got developed on the big team and not on the other side of the world (Milutinov). Let Cady develop around LMA. He has a similar game. Let Anderson develop as the backup point/power forward. Much like Diaw. He can play there in the small ball lineups. Go get Plumlee to be the starter. A very good rebounder and defender. Very similar to Adams. Then let the young guys develop behind him in their 10-15 minutes. Remember we will go small with LMA at center at times too.

    PF- LMA, Anderson, Lalanne
    C- Plumlee, Milutinov, Ndoye

    you still have 3 7'ers, but they are athletic. You have LMA at 6'11" and Lalanne at 6'10". Milutinov and Ndoye can play around 10 minutes each and develop NBA games. Plumlee can give you around 20 minutes then small ball with LMA or Lalanne at center.

    LMA needs to play center and we need to play a small ball lineup. We don't have enough ball handling to place another big next to LMA. LMA and Danny can't dribble at all. Our pg and sf meh at ball penetration. If you want to play two bigs one has to be able to shoot and you need an elite guard. We don't have Westbrook and I don't want to turn LMA into Ibaka nor would that be appropriate considering he has more skill inside and we don't have Westbrook.

    Mobile rim protection more than just mobile big. It's what any great defence needs as an anchor and what Timmy can no longer give .

    Can't see it being a rookie though.

    Plumlee would be a good fit, even Henson, something has to give there with the Bucks as they've 3 pricey bigs and no-one is touching Monroe.

    Livioops or Multiwhynovs. Put a little faith in a draft pick?

    Anderson should go to Minny or LAC. I'd give up Pekovic, Rudez, and Rubio for Parker and Diaw.

    Yes, there is going to be a fire sale on bigs this offseason. Nobody needs 'em, nobody wants 'em.

    Just out of curiosity, though.. you do know that there are two Plumlee's in the league? One of them puts up about twice the production of the other. The Spurs have a shot at getting the one who got pushed out of the rotation in Phoenix by Brandan Wright. But he has a really cool beard.

    Yep that is exactly what I said. Way to make your ass assumptions up. I still have 3 7'ers on the team. Try reading comprehension.

    And thanks for the family history lesson. are you the reject they kicked out of the family? I never said he was an all star. Funny how you think all 5 starters need to be hall of fame quality or they are . I bet your dumbass said the same things about Steven Adams before the playoffs, now look at him. funny how guys can progress when put in the right situation.

    Learn what a paragraph is and how to divide you thoughts first of all. Your phrasing is . I couldn't make it through the block of text it was so poorly written.

    Second, Boban was adjusting to the speed of the NBA, learning one of the most complex schemes in the NBA, and all this after sitting out TC recovering from a bone bruise. He was quick enough to guard John Wall on an iso. Most of his issues had to do with spacing on pnr which is not all on him and something that can be worked on. He has all world length to help here.

    Comparing Boban's mobility to Odom and Varjao whose knees are shot is horse . He moves closer to Marc Gasol with similar size. He runs the floor better than all of the guys you have mentioned as well.

    Furthering this point are his advanced metrics which are outstanding even if you adjust for level of compe ion. He is also farther along than both Baynes and Splitter who came in under similar cir stances.

    If you want to complain about his rebounding because he struggled adjusting to the NBA rules which made him tentative then fine but I would ask you to look at his per36 rebounding rate of 13.7 which again is outstanding. He is likely to improve here as well.

    Then of course there is his offensive game which is dominant being able to work out of both blocks, able to finish with either hand with touch, range to at least 15 feet on his jumper, devastating screens that defenders give up on, and plus passing.

    His ceiling is Marc Gasol. I'm not saying that he is there but he has the potential to be outstanding. Thank reality for the Arenas Rule.

    This take made sense a couple of years ago but Kawhi handles the ball on pnr regularly now. You should pay attention to the game as well as his turnover rate which will continue to improve and isn't bad to begin with.

    No, you never said that he was a star. But you did say that he would be a starter on the Spurs:

    Go get Plumlee to be the starter. A very good rebounder and defender. Very similar to Adams.
    Tell me how I should have comprehended that differently. Better yet - don't bother.


    ty rant, by the way. Poor use of name-calling. Failure to use tandem curse words. You don't even make the bench here. You're the ing Jimmer Fredette of SpursTalk.

    Listen I'm not a Boban hater. But his mobility limits him to playing only certain teams. One thing that really limits Boban is his lack of strength. Hopefully he works on that this offseason. But if he is resigned I'm ok with that.

    im sorry you couldn't make it through the first paragraph. I can't get crayons or a coloring book on here for you.

    LOL...by the end of the first sentence of the OP, it was already into the third trimester. I'm thinking of the epic meltdown on ST on opening night. "Ladies and gentlemen... your SAN ANTONIO SPUUURRSS!!! Starting at Center, Miles Plumlee!!!"

    It would almost be worth it, as a joke, just to watch the forum explode. (Better than the time Pop intentionally fouled Shaq 4 seconds into the season.) This place would go absolutely ape- crazy. , they were ing about having LMA at the 4 for the first 20 games or so.

    Miles Plumlee. We'll nickname him "The Solution". All the worries about Duncan retiring just evaporated.

    lol thinking trash heap centers are going to do . did Boban your mom or something op? none of the players you mentioned are going to be worth crap in the future. spurs are better off drafting or trying to sign a C in the market than bringing in dleague and Euro scrubs
