Naw - your problem and lack of foresight was not thinking TP was done based on regular season, but not knowing basketball enough to understand that Mills was not a starter.
That's stupid too. After the TP injury, they were able to go on to win a WCSF series with Paddy starting.
He won't ever be as good as prime TP was and he will never have TP's skillset. But you don't have to be a TP type player to be a starter. It's the same bull argument people used to make against Hill not being a PG. You don't have to be an elite penetrator to be a PG. His skillset is shooting/providing spacing. Obviously that skillset isn't going to be as useful without a Top 2 player in the world in there.
I think Aldridge deserves a second chance. I know I am solo on this :-/.
He's had a second chance. He came into camp out of shape for the second time in a row. No. No ing way does he get another chance. Do you not remember the story when there were rumours of him being traded before the season started? There was a trainer or someone that said he was working out with TD and he said to TD I don't know how you're able to do this, and TD told him you've got to do this if you want to keep playing at a high level the older you get, and Aldridge said something like "nah, I'm done" and walked off.
He didn't prepare himself for the season and this is why he is now getting humiliated. He didn't work hard enough to prepare himself. I have no sympathy for him at all, let alone wanting to give him a second chance.
I might give him half a chance if he comes into camp in the best shape of his life next off-season, but if he still doesn't perform, I'd trade him very early in the season.

They had Kawhi guy. They got blown out with Mills too (even though they blew out HOU as well). Mills, regardless of TP, is not a starting player and you learned the hard way. Eat it.

Hill plays 100x the defense of Mills. He also has wayyyyyyy better command of an offense and can finish without being assisted like Mills (look up his numbers on his FG assisted vs not).
He's a cherry picker, just tries to be a good troll but doesn't understand that either. Now he's stuck between being a contributor and a troll, not a good look.
STFU fat . Trying to get sympathy from others.
You think Klay Thompson is a much better offensive player than Kawhi Leonard. I can be a troll, a contributor, or anything else you want to label me as and I will still be right in making fun of your fat ass for that re ed take.

I know you Mexicans like to pick fruit, but this cherry picking you're doing is pathetic. Spurs beat Houston without TP and without Kawhi. Are you saying the Spurs are fine without Kawhi as well? If not, your silly little example above is moot.

More you've assumed and built your schtick on that's completely false. But keep going.. you're batting 1.000

Yeah, no they had Kawhi. Paddy is a role player and they are more valuable when they have guys like Kawhi to play off of. They can be starters too. Criticize him when he falters alongside Kawhi all you want. That wasn't the case today.
Hill's defense was way overrated and he couldn't run an offense to save his life just a few short years ago according to ST. Needed Manu by his side during that '10 run.
I'm actually excited about our future. These young guys have promise and will be coming into their own when Kawhi is in his prime. It will be a perfect storm of talent.
You think Klay Thompson is much better on offense than Kawhi Leonard. STFU, fat boy.
I think Klay can score points faster than Kawhi. I've said plenty that Kawhi is a much better player than Klay. If the Spurs had Steph and KD, I doubt Kawhi would be relied on as a primary scorer even though he's fully capable. He wasn't relied on that way until Tim retired. So do you want to put some money down on my weight or did your concha get the best of you again?

That's what I thought.
outta here. You said he was a much better offensive player. Then you moved the goalposts to better scorer. Now it's he can score points faster.
That's homerism talking. It's the same way people put Kobe in the top 5 all time over at LG.com. Kawhi is probably the best defender in the league, still. He's not even close to being the best offensive player in the league. Klay is a much better offensive player than Kawhi, right now. That could change based on KL's work ethic and the amazing results he gets from his effort, but right now, he's too inconsistent to be considered a great offensive player. He's good, no doubt, but Klay can carry a team on offense. KL cannot. He can do well some times, but he can never do Klay level good.
But you're a Bernie guy. It's understandable you'd be easily misled.
Where's Danny's moment last year in the 2nd round? , where's Kawhi's?
Kawhi 2015-2016 Playoffs PPG 22.3
Klay 2015-2016 Playoffs PPG 24.3 (less than 1ppg fewer than the MVP Steph)
Kawhi getting beat by a role player. Role players averaging 24ppg in the playoffs "Danny Green" who averaged 9.1ppg
Surely a role player like Klay shouldn't carry his team to the Finals while Kawhi's team was done for the year already because Kawhi didn't make enough non-assisted plays.
These takes by folks like you ( Danny Green) are why no one takes you serious in the basketball discussions. Your hyperbole is out of control, irrational and whimsical.
That proves he's a much better offensive player than Kawhi, how?
Kawhi lost to the team that he beasted on. He stepped up against the Rockets (steph was out) and brought the Warriors back from at 3-1 deficit against the Thunder. He's the reason Durant is in OKC. If the Warriors lose to OKC, Durant probably stays in OKC. Kawhi didn't do that. If Kawhi is so great (in December 2016) why wasn't he great in the playoffs? Why was Klay, if Klay is basically Danny Green?
You cannot argue with the results of each person's outputs, their career totals and the fact they came into the league at the same time. You want to pick a specific time window (usually a moving target, the most recent good game for example) and compare to Klay's worst performances even though Klay is a 3rd option at best. You seem to think Klay is a 3rd option because he sucks, but he did all the things I mentioned in the quoted post. Sucky players don't prove themselves in the playoffs, and you cannot dismiss his results with the wave of a virtual hand while forgiving Kawhi's failure to beat the Thunder in the second round of the same playoffs.
