Benchwarmer?

Hes average 18 minutes a game for his career. In 13-14 he got 24.6 minutes per game averaging 8.1 ppg and 7.9 rpg.

Sometimes facts don't matter though if it means you can be internet right. And get to make stuff up.

He averaged 9 MPG for the Bucks, last year, and only played a total of 16 minutes in their 6 playoff games

This year, he was out of the rotation until they needed to shake things up by benching Monroe..overall, he averaged 14 MPG for an atrocious Bucks team..

A player that can't get minutes on a fringe playoff Bucks team, then averages only 14 MPG for one of the worst teams in the NBA, yet he's going to start for an aspiring contender? Stop..

[HarlemHeat37]

Who the wants Mason. Some people on here want him simply because he is a roll man

I don't want him(I'm not a fan of White American players for the most part, even prior to analyzing their production), but at least he was a starter on a playoff team, this past season

Miles Plumlee averaged 14 MPG for a lottery team..last time he played on a playoff team, he couldn't even get off the bench..

It's also a bucks team that plays a lot of small ball. And Monroe and his big contract will get most of the minutes. No doubt. Is that indictment on Plumlee or Jason Kidd?

you also have to add in John Henson who takes center minutes. Giannis and Parker take a lot of the 4 minutes. So again Monroe and his big contract will get the minutes.

I haven't been following posts in other off-season threads, so I probably missed your analysis..what exactly do you see in Miles Pljmlee?

7' athletic center who rebounds well and protects the rim. Would play well next to LMA finesse jump shooting game.

I also think he comes on a cheaper contract. You don't have to break the bank for him.

I don't know if this is worth talking about anymore? You obviously have a racist view here.

It's not racist, it's simply the truth..there's a reason the NBA's % of White American players has declined by over 20% since the mid-80s, tbh..

Looking at the final 4 teams in the playoffs: 1 White American rotation player(Kevin Love)

If I feel like watching a movie later, I'll go with an HD on-demand selection through one of my convenient streaming outlets..I'm not going to watch a VHS

Even ignoring the racial aspect, though, Plumlee hasn't shown anything at the NBA level that would make him a better option than current Duncan or even somebody like Boban, considering the latter now has continuity with the team(and Spurs players tend to play better after gaining familiarity with Pop)..

[palangi]

Here is his 13-14 season with the suns when he got good minutes to play. You can see his rebounding both offensively and defensively. also his rim protection.

[palangi]

here is a highlight of his game against the Heat this year. Against Hassain Whiteside.

grouping a race in a negative way is racist. whether it is white or black. to say you don't want a white player because there isn't a lot playing in the NBA is racist.

It is the same as rush limbau when he said Mcnabb wouldn't win a superbowl because he was a black quarterback. Only one had done in the history of the NFL, so the percentage was low. But it was still racist and he was fired for his comment.

so again I say it isn't work talking about with you because you have a bigoted racist view.

If they're going to sign a risky big that couldn't get serious minutes on a lottery team, I'd rather have Dewayne Dedmon, tbh..

1. Black
2. 7-footer
3. Has shown solid flashes as a rim protector and rebounder
4. Limited offensively, but has shown some ability to make the mid-range J

Realistically, I would rather see what Boban can do, along with more Aldridge at the 5 lineups, though..the big man alternatives are scarce..

I wouldn't overreact too much to 1 bad matchup that was altered by some poor officiating..

The lack of 2-way perimeter players and playmaking guards is a serious concern for this team, too..

again bigoted racist view. I am done. It's unfortunate racism stays alive with people like you!

This is Boban (the guy you hate) doing more in just 13 minutes of playing time

[dabom]

Made whiteside his in 2 games.

Quit making up littleyacht. I never said I hated Boban. I have stated multiple times I would be ok with him coming back. But he needs to get his functional strength better. He is on the ground way too often. And for his size his rim protection is not as good.

Keep telling stories though.

[TheGreatYacht]

Underrated beast tbh...

Popovich and casuals don't know what they got with Boban till he's gone and they have Ndoye playing 20+ minutes a game

[CosmicCowboy]

OKC's bigs were the cause of the Spurs second round exit.

exactly and that is why change is needed there. More youth, length, and at ude would be good IMO.

[stxspurs]

can he still come and save us??

Uh oh....they heard my prayers

This whole time I thought you were racist, and it turned out just to be a fetish.

[HarlemHeat37]

Imagine the Spurs had taken some white stiff like Miles Plumlee(sp?) or Cole Aldrich like many of the posters on ST wanted, tbh

Hope they pay Dedmon in the summer, tbh...Dude only 27 with low mileage (only played 168 career NBA games/13.3 MPG) and at the peak of his physical powers..You are going to get the best years out of him right now..

Never saw this thread back in the day, but Harlem you look like Nostradamus. The Dead Man is a keeper and only getting better. Even though he had hands like bricks in the preseason, every game he improves.

[Chinook]

Well, this thread reached abortion levels pretty quickly.

Yes.
He would be a better investment than other FA out there and he has already played for Pop and fits the culture. To me that is important bc you never know if a FA is going to pan out with the team's culture like you hoped (Jefferson for example.. and others of less magnitude like Errors)... so he's a keeper. Gasol is old too and if he opts in that is just one season, it would be worth it to secure Dedmon for a few seasons like Danny.

Spurs still have Mills and others to take care of. They will have needs at the guards spots as well. We don't know how Murray will look next season. I am hoping he can make do as I don't expect Spurs to resign Simmons. He's another who is 27 and needs to get paid.
