Ah, so you're one of those spoiled fans who says anything short of an NBA le is a completely wasted season, even if the team is obviously in rebuilding mode after losing five key players in a two year span. You're awesome.
We'd go from a 32 win team to a 36 win team

That depends.. has he learned how to shoot a basketball?
Murray is a real leader... Not like Toxic Aldridge
Wrong—I just don’t think we should celebrate mediocrity. Instead of celebrating some meaningless playoff streak, I’d rather not celebrate mediocrity and make the most out of this season by getting a lottery pick.
Probably plus 3 wins if you factor in all the other injurys like Gasol, Walker. so Spurs could be 17-11 if Murray was playing and healthy.
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
Maybe 2. I think Murray, if he was that breakout year candidate, is good for about 5 to 7 games per season and this stage. I think we probably beat Clipper for example if Murray was there and maybe Lakers as well.
Once Murray gets back next year from injury, I will be anxious to see how he, White, and Walker integrate with one another on the court.
Unless he can shoot, players are gonna leave him open and double DD and LA
I don’t understand why some people here overrates Murray like he’s a superstar? Lol
Everybody here is sooo optimistic.
Sure, the defense with Murray would be miles better. But I'm afraid offense would be worse because of the spacing. We would have Murray, DeMar & LA -- 3 of the starting 5 and the most heavy-minutes guys -- not shooting 3s. Everybody gravitating to the same spots. If you put White there it would be even worse until he starts knocking 3s.
I think the improvement would be a couple of games, not more. I like Murray but Murray + DeMar + LA just don't seem to me a cohesive combo offensively
Which would put them 2 games behind top spot GS...
Ye of little faith!
If everybody’s healthy, had a chance to play more, and the bizarre start in the West, it’s not surprising if Spurs turned to be on top of the West tbh. Spurs can score, just cannot stop other teams from scoring.
god you are an idiot
We know how good he is defensively but we still don’t completely know how much offensively he grew. If he’s still just a defender, maybe 3 or 4 more wins. If his offense is growing too, who knows. Maybe up there with the Thunder record wise
We would be better with Murray, obviously.
Having him would have the team enacting the coaching staff's Plan A for the season. My guess is that Plans B, C and D are not as solid.
The upside is that the team is working on improving weaknesses this season. That could make us a lot better next year when we have a better roster.
The main upside is showcasing Forbes as a trade asset.
How good would the Raptors be this year with DeMar instead of "I only play half the games and at 60%" Kawhi?
How good would the Spurs be this year with "I have a ty at ude, don't provide any leadership yet demand a huge ass contract and don't ever talk, plus I'm always injured or hold myself out of games and loaf around at 60%" Kawhi?
I can guarantee we would be much better with Kawhi than demar... Only idiots would think otherwise
10th seed instead of 11th....or whatever we're at.
Depends on how he did on offense. He showed a more confident pull-up, but that doesn't seem to jive with DeRozan's game. Pop wanted DJM to run off rebounds a lot, and I think there would have been some potential there, especially with Gay thriving in a quick-post offense. Murray spotting up well would have helped prevent a big drop-off, but it doesn't look like DMDR really does well sharing the ball, at least not with Aldridge also taking touches. Having a dude like Cun starting would just make it harder to see it working.
Defensively, I can't imagine it being worse. I've been more skeptical of Murray's impact than most here, but I don't see how having him instead of Beli, Forbes or Mills wouldn't be a big improvement. His ability to secure rebounds alone could have won the team more games. Thinking of that first LAC game in particular. A PG is also the first line of defense on a fast-break, and that's the element of defense where the team's lack of physical talent hurts them the most. I wouldn't've expected him to be Prime Danny Green at stopping the break, but he should be better than the guys now who seem to allow an And-1 any time they are near the opposing player.
White probably wouldn't be playing if Murray was available.
I definitely think he would be playing something but can't argue that White could've been left on the bench. You dont become the starter when Murray goes out unless the staff had plans for you to play right away. I believe Walker would've been in G league and DeRozan would be been full time SF. Leaving plenty the gaurd play to 5 gaurds: Forbes, Belli, Mills, White, Murray. I believe all would've split and sit depending on matchups and who was playing better, imo. Murray plus White would be trouble for any backcourt. Very exciting to see that in the future.
