Murray

[SAGirl]

POP Mentioned double duty.... He's likely going to get both the occasional dleague game that doesn't conflict with the regular season schedule and all the rest games, etc.

[spurtech09]

Would like to see Murray get more mins.......

[CGD]

Can't wait to see where he'll be in two years. The defensive potential of Murray, Green, and Leonard together is tantalizing.

[Raven]

obviously has a ton of talent, but needs every minute he can get for the next few years

RC is as sharp as they come and Spurs are producing 60 win seasons. I think they'll keep the talent. Only problem is Patty wants to be a starter somewhere which is understandable as he's been a career backup. He won't want to be a stopgap between Parker and Murray for a year or so at best. We may lose him. Everyone else I trust PATFO to keep,if they want them.

They can play together. Mills is more of a 2 guard anyways.

A lineup of Pau, LMA, Kawhi, Patty, Dijon would be very playable.

Only problem is Patty wants to be a starter somewhere which is understandable as he's been a career backup. In his Spurs time he's gone from a fringe NBA player to a champion and serious 6th man of the year candidate. He also was a factor in wooing LMA.

Do you think Parker can stay a starter for another year? I'm not a Parker-hater, but I have my doubts.

I wonder, though how he would deal with coming off the bench. Manu did it for his whole career, and made it work for him. But even more, I wonder how Parker would feel about moving to the bench, if Patty was the one to move into the starter role?

Don't you think Tony's role has already evolved a lot in the last couple of seasons - especially this one? It seems to me that he has already relinquished the role of closer to Patty, and he is playing fewer minutes - much less than other starters. So, maybe he will be a token starter and play a few minutes at the beginning of games and spot minutes thereafter for this year and next. Or maybe his reduced role is preparing him for coming off the bench. If he doesn't like it he doesn't have many choices...

I think if Manu retires then sending Tony to the bench becomes an easy sell for Pop. He just tells Tony he needs him to be the new leader of the bench. I personally don't think Tony has declined as bad as many others here. I think he's adapted well to his new role. As sasaint said, it almost doesn't matter who starts as Patty is getting his minutes and often closes. However in that one interview It seemed starting was goal of Patty's. And that makes the Spurs less attractive over the long haul. I also wonder if Patty is really meant to be a starter. I think he's found a good niche here. But I understand his motives.

Murray was a good get, especially given the draft pick SA had to get him. Corey Joseph did not look this good this early AT ALL as a low first pick.

A lot of people thought he would not become a player early on. If DM works as hard as CJ did while he was here, good things will happen.

[TheCerebral1]

All I can say is, while his game needs work. He was still the most exciting pick in the last 5 drafts at least. While Anderson has had some value to the team, outside of Simmons being found out of nowhere we've had little impact since George Hill left.
