He's never going to "get well" as a guard whose best feature was his athleticism. He's done.
haven't seen any of them play in a long time but i would take jameer out of those three.

He also Spurs fans were spoiled two or three days before Kawhi announced he wanted to be traded.
Wrong. Murray was never that athletic. It's his size, creativity with handles, and knack for rebounds that sets him apart. Murray really doesn't jump out of the gym like Lonnie does.
Same as Leonard really. Murray should look at DeRozan to see how to work more under the rim anyway. The shot is nice enough, but he'll have another year to work on his game, and finishing is the main thing that will push him over the top.
Leonard doesn't have as much creativity with ball handling but his size is even more of a freak than Murray. This has allowed him to be top 5 player in the NBA. That and his determination to emulate the some of the best players ever (Kobe, MJ). I think if Leonard didn't have his crazy wingspan and crazy hand size, he would be half the player that he is. Honestly, I hope Murray continues to study Kobe (he's shown this on his IG). This will raise his ceiling more and I believe his "body movement" always resembled Kobe. You're right, DeRozan is the perfect mentor for him since he's studied Kobe so much too. I don't believe the Spurs "pursued" DeRozan just because of his on court contribution... His value will show when he starts to mentor our young players. Genius move by the Spurs.
The year after Duncan retired, the Spurs went 61-21 and beat the Rockets in the conference semi-finals 4-2 after losing Parker to an injury in Game 2 and Leonard to an injury in Game 5. How on earth does that qualify as "vanishing?"
I went to the scrimmage and man I was so excited to see Murray and Walker. And now just a few days pass and everything has changed. Sucks
That'll go over really well with LMA and DeRozan.
Too bad walker is hurt too, at least spurs could have used this season to build him by putting him in more of main position, so you don't get even the positive here...
Walker has an 8 week recovery timeline. He'll rehab in Austin and might get some run with the big boys still this season.
Just saw the play. The injury coming in a play with Harden playing defense on him.
He still probably will need to take this year very easy if or after he comeback
What does that have to do with the defense, what Pop supposedly does with it and why it supersedes personnel? I noticed neither of you commented on that.
The year after Duncan retired, they signed Gasol, who at that point was an upgrade simply because he was still able bodied and otherwise returned the core of a 67 win team, in a watered down West . . . but don't let facts get in the way of a false narrative.
So culture finished off the Rockets? Here I was thinking it was because they won a coin flip game 5, setting the stage for a combination of serious progression to the mean from Aldridge and the most bizarre performance I've ever seen from a superstar, by Harden, in game 6.

Coming from a guy who’s handle is the most physically and mentally fragile player of all time.Just saw the play. The injury coming in a play with Harden playing defense on him.
You realize these injuries are usually non-contact and have little to do with the cir stances.
didn't look like any crazy movement or anything unusual.
"When he's able to move a little bit more and get around, he's going to become like a coach," coach Popovich said. "We are going to put him in all our coaching meetings and let him sit there while we argue about game plans and what to do. We are going to have him be in every one of those meetings to at least fill his brain up a little bit with what's going on."
Popovich said that plan will also help make Murray "feel part of the group" and "not isolated and sitting in the training room all the time, which gets pretty boring."
^ LIT — Yeah I said it
Awesome he’d be like a coaching intern and learn a lot. Pretty excited about that.
Spurs are never going to leave a player alone again.
Maybe Murray can convince Pop to trade Mills...
It's also good when it comes to developing his basketball IQ. He'll definitely be a smarter player after this experience.
This is dope. Will improve his basketball IQ and help him grow in his leadership role
