    Need someone who draws defense attention on the bench outside of mills. Rudy does that. He fits fine with the second unit as a lead scorer. They haven't had one in a long while.

    They don't need more of what they have, which was passers and role players. They needed a legitimate sixth man. He gets the green light with the second unit and I think spurs will be better for it.
    I doubt he would be a reserve...

    Its weird reading all these Iso comments. Just because they can score one on one doesn't make them Iso only players. It's a benefit or a luxury to have. Spurs issue against gsw was no one could take advantage of an Iso . Now people are complaining about getting what the spurs needed most..
    Iso plays aren't bad per se if the iso-player is hyper-efficient like Kawhi but we need some elite playmaker who can make Spurs' offense more fluid...

    Our PGs/SGs Patty, Murray, Danny aren't that type of guy. Even when Kawhi improved a lot in last playoffs at creating for others, we can't ask him to do everything, scoring, defense, asts..

    It seems like Spurs will play my-turn-your-turn offense again between Kawhi, LMA and now Gay...I wonder who will give our few 3-point shooters Patty, Danny, Davis, good looks...I wonder who will give Kawhi, LMA easy buckets...

    All I'm saying is that I expected a more elaborated offense. I wanted just two things this offseason, a true playmaker and a defensive big...But the NBA market and PATFO hate me.

    I get that argument. The spurs starters, even without tony Parker, outplayed the warriors starters quite a few times in the season. The bench is really what needed a facelift as they just didn't seem to make anything happen against them.
    I feel like the bench could compete with any other team but the warriors.

    I want a more focused play maker at the guard position as well, but i think the first unit has enough to contend with anyone with kawhi in mvp mode.

    The second unit, if they keep Manu , has plenty of passers and cutters. Patty is greta off ball movement. Gasol Gail is great at picking apart a defense and hitting a pick and pop. Manu is serviceable at distributing when he's not trying. To score 100 ppints in one possesion. I feel they would benefit from a true ball hog in the second unit. Someone who wants to score and have the ball. They all seemed scared to have it last year. Think the less pressure they have, the better the role players will turn out to play.

    It will definitely be interesting to see how it plays out, what the final roster is, and how Pop plans to attack the season. He definitely had his team ready to play the warriors. A few unfortunate ankle rolls, changed the narrative quick.

    I think it makes much more sense for him to take a manu role and lead his own unit, then run with kawhi. Unless of course Danny is on the move, but even then one of thw younger guys would fit in better that can 3nD.

    I could see him as a small ball pf starter to tho . Th at would actually be fun to see.

    I mean looking at this... where do you see Manu and Simmons? This roster is crowded already in guards
    In theory, Manu and Simmons can take up the remaining roster spot and Forbes' spot. Or the team could trade Green. Not a fan of either scenario. One of them coming back (Manu over Simmons for tax purposes) and kicking Forbes off the team would make the most sense.

    Well white/Murray/Forbes will be coming and going to the D league. I think Murray and White will battle out backup point, and will still lose minutes to Manu and Simmons.

    That tweet imbeded in the article is wrong-headed (in the same way a previous post of mine was). They have 15 guys under contract not counting Hanga. Bringing back Manu and Simmons give the Spurs no choice but to cut Forbes for Hanga, giving them $8 Million in space, not $6 Million. More importantly, "space under the hard cap" only matters if it's less than the LLE, which it isn't.

    $13 Million for Manu and Pau would be reasonable, though.

    They'll finally be allowed to actually keep the guy they've grossly overpaid.

    Did Brooklyn sign KCP to an offer sheet that I don't know about? Thought they only signed Porter
