Murray/Forbes/Mills
White/Walker
DeRozan/BellyNellie/Metu
Gay/Bertans
Aldridge/Purtle
It could work. Its a great problem to have and if they develop into studs we’ll be able to pay them since LA’s contract will be coming off the books in two years and be 36
White could totally get hurt or slump next year. Doesn't make sense to get rid of depth. The Spurs will have two first-rounders to use in June. After Murray and White were both hits in back-to-back seasons, you gotta trust RC to come away with at least one more good young player.
This is an extremely stupid take. It’s like OP and some other idiots here are completely forgetting about something called improvement! Murray has worked so hard that his work will definitely pay off. He is also very tough and has great leadership qualities on the team. You don’t have to tear someone else down to build someone else up. Both can play together. The object is to have any many weak links as possible on the court. This is the new era. You do realize there is a team that has 5 all stars on the same team right?? You don’t just get rid of capable players! You would need BOTH guys to help defend premier wings. Just send Forbes to the bench and it will be an even better team.
But I’m glad you aren’t running the front office. It doesn’t matter because Murray isn’t going anywhere. He will make the team much better. You’ll see when it happens.
they will draft the next LA and bring him along to replace Aldridge in a few years
Probably not, but there are a lot of forwards in the draft. Assuming they end up with like 22 and 28, they will get shots a multiple bigs, or they try to sell out to move up for Hachimura, Doumbouya or some other guy who falls into the late-lottery or late-teens.
LOL. 1975 says o.
While it takes longer to recover from, as long as there was no associated meniscus damage, the long term prognosis for an ACL tear is better than LW IV. LW will be dealing with knee issues in his late 20s or early 30s like DWade.
How people forget. Murray had some huge games last year and when healthy, he will be our starting point guard. White is definitely a solid piece and it's nice problem to have 2 quality point guards but you don't get rid of Murry who has flashed star potential.
Murray worked on his shooting this offseason. Let him get back healthy and work on shooting some more and he will be serviceable. The key to contention for the Spurs is to keep all of Murray, White, Walker and Poeltl and hope they develop into elite players before Aldridge declines
You're only pause with Murray is that he's a LeBron guy so he's got some pretty garbage people in his eat at all times. That plus capitalizing every word and eventually being taken for half his money by that Insta hoe he's off/on dating.
But he seems to be great teammate, hard worker, and says all the right things about the organization. I don't think you get rid of him especially when his value is low AF with the injury. Pretty excited about the potential of a Dejounte/White/Lonnie trio going forward tbh.
Spurs finally have some options with young, developing guards and you want to just throw them away?
Yep.
Some STs not too basketball savvy.
what a dumb take...who knows the season murray would have been having right now? dude is a triple double threat, and was improving his jumper...and isnt white like 3 years older than murray?? if murray was to reach white's age, and is on the same level as white, we would look at him as a failure
I would like to see what this team ressembles with a fully healthy squad before jettisoning potential over premature player ejaculation
White has had a nice stretch of games. Let's see how he finishes out the season before making labels
In today's NBA, you can never have too many perimeter defenders. Why would you want to trade Murray? Murray and White could potentially become an outstanding backcourt.
Murray can grab and go and push the ball and White can work the offense in the halfcourt.
Works for me. It might be true that DeRozan can handle majority SF as he ages, guys typically do age up a spot as they slow and get their mature man strength.
that would be a real move by the Spurs.
I prefer the idea of starting Murray, and White leads the second unit
Murray/White
Forbes/Mills/Walker
DeRozan/Belinelli
Gay comes back?/Bertans/Metu
Aldridge/Poeltl
He is expendable if we can get the right value for him. Not sure if we can especially with his injury.
Not sure why some aren't excited to see Murray and White locking down opposing backcourts the next 5 years.
Is this the same idiots that said Aldridge and De Rozan won’t work out because both are mid-range shooters?
Murray White Derozan Gay Aldridge
That looks like a solid starting lineup to me. Murray can defend at an elite level. White can clearly defend at a high level. Derozan is much improved. Gay is OK at D, but not great. LMA is a decent defender. Murray and White would make a great defensive tandem. As for who has the ball? Derozan can make plays and so can White. Murray is another great rebounder and fantastic defender. I don't think he's expendable at all, especially considering our sparse defensive roster.
DBPM is a pretty useless stat, tbh. (Considering Robinson is 4th all-time and Duncan is 6th, it'd be cool if it was a legit.) DBPM is BMP minus OBPM ... so it isn't even directly attempting to quantify defense. On top of that, it's all based off of boxscore stats and I'd say 98% of good defense doesn't result in a block, steal or rebound.Murray's DBPM (3.4) in his second season, matched Kawhi's career high(3.5; 2015. hasn't reached 3 since, excluding '17/18, 9 games played)
edit: Bowen never posted a year over 2.5. Danny Green never posted a year over 3.
Timmy averaged 4 for his career.
This is very smart, genius even
Trade an injured player when his value is at it’s lowest, we may get a late 2nd in 2021 for him
what about DRPM?
he was #1 among all point guards last year
I agree with immortal tbh. While Gay's 3pt shot has been a pleasant surprise this year, he's never going to provide the same spacing that Bertans does. And right now our starting unit needs all the 3pt juice it can get, which is why Forbes has been so effective. I don't think you can just swap Forbes for Murray and hope for the spacing to work out.
A corresponding swap of Gay for Bertans could help offset it, though. Gay will also be a little older next year, and a decrease in role is expected. You would hope that by next year, Lonnie will have an acceptable 3pt shot, and so Forbes/Walker backcourt with Gay at the 4 will give enough punch off the bench.
