    I think this will be great, I think Bertans is severely underrated... trade Aldridge for a wing similar in skill set to kawhi (or to make space for Paul George)...

    Bertans is actually decent on defense for a rookie, and he will definitely space the floor on offense and open the lane up for kawhi and Murray...He can also put the ball on the floor

    Bertans as the backup PF tbh

    yeah, not saying he filled it admirably ... but the "he's not willing to" talk is just wrong

    Meaning someone that can shoot, drive, play defense...Paul George is similar in skill set...Skill set is different from ability

    And he pouted all along. And what did Pop say last night after game 4?

    He said "big men in the league don't want to play on the block anymore, they want to shoot jumpers." And it wasn't a compliment.

    LOL. Ok. I'm not sure I buy that though. I mean...by your definition, I've got a similar skill set to Leonard. I don't do any of them nearly as well. But I have that skill set.
    In fact, I have an expanded skill set. Sometimes, I've played the 5.

    1) Bertans will never be a full-time starter with the Spurs.
    2) Bertans will never be an All-Star.

    Thank you.

    I really don't understand LMA's unwillingness to play the 5 in today's NBA. His main complaint, as I recall, was that it's too physical. But nowadays there's really no post playing brutes. Boogie's an exception.

    Start him or Anderson at the 4.

    It's time to make the move that they should have made a year ago, going more versatile with 3 wings (2 w/size + good rebounding) and 1 C, instead of signing Gasol. Harkless would have been a nice fit tbh..

    But, Pop's zag vs zig brought the Spurs to the WCF and, minus the Zaza incident, they were in a very good position.

    Why abandon it? What more can you realistically do? How can you best this yr's performance?

    i dont want green starting...at ALL...dude cant dribble or pass...when he gets run off the line, it turns disastrous FAST...plus his defense has fallen off considerably...he needs to be replaced...either he comes off the bench, or plays elsewhere

    Anderson??? NO!!! he does NOTHING better than Bertans...he is undersized, slow, turns the ball over just from dribbling, cant shoot, isn't aggressive...he needs to be nowhere NEAR this team next year

    Why not just get LeBron instead of PG? Or at the very least get Durbeta.

    LMA still holds value as a 5, he is an above average rim protector, can defend the post and switch out on to the perimeter, albeit with varied results. I would hope that he takes a step forward and start taking more 3's next season to further stretch the floor.

    I always thought that the "I don't want to play the 5" was more to do with him not wanting to bang in the post. I still think Pop could talk him into starting at the 5 and closing at the 5.
