    LMA - Gay - DeMar - White - Dejounte

    Poeltl - Bertans - Lonnie - Forbes

    With Belinellis time as a placeholder coming to an end. Im expecting him to be dealt since:
    A) They are higher on Lonnie than any player theyve drafted in a long time. He will play.
    B) Mills aint going anywhere.

    Mills being demoted to the 3rd guard off the bench.

    Stagger White & DeMar at all times after the initial 6-7 minutes of each half together.
    It will be fair compe ion and next year Lonnie probably doesn't out compete Belinelli. Mill/Belli are playing ridiculously well together. They are one of the top reasons we are doing well as of late (bench play).

    that's assuming gay is brought back. i think if you're going to start murray and demar, then you need to start bertans. even though gay's outside shot has been a nice surprise this year, he doesn't provide the same spacing bertans does. and i dont think gay's shooting is sustainable.
    Gay's next contract is very interesting. When healthy and spry this guy is easily worth $15M. When not healthy and/or playing immobile he is a boarderline rotation player. He is getting up there in age now too. It would be hard to reward him with anything big per year. I can see a longterm budget friendly number like 3 yrs 18-20M but if he wants more then I think Spurs should let him walk. Metu is not ready so we really would need a PF in this upcoming free agency. If we can pull a bigger, mobile, stretch 4 playing these 3 gaurd line ups (Spurs have so many guards) would make a lot more sense too.

    Nah Poeltls roll gravity & Bertans lighting the world on fire are the main reasons along with Forbes, DeMar, or Derrick doing what they do when one is staggered w the 2nd group. Mills/ Belinelli have been more inconsistent.

    That way the bench would almost mirror the SL in terms of construction:

    Murray/White - defensive ace PG
    Forbes/Mills - Undersized shooting guard
    DeRozan/Belinelli - SG playing SF
    Gay/Bertans - stretch 4
    Aldridge/Poeltl - bigman

    That's probably the way Pop will go about it. I would prefer a 3 and D SF to insert on the starting lineup and for Walker to become a contributor next season.
    Ya I can see that. I would prefer White starting but then that's 3 guys handling the ball. Defensively it makes sense for him to start for SL, but offensively it might not. He actually would fit better with the bench. He can def play a 6th man role, but I feel like he should still get a lot of minutes, equal to DJ, Demar.

    For obvious reasons, I'd be surprised if Murray-Forbes isn't the starting back court next season. As DAF86 alluded to, outside of SF, they'd essentially have players who can fill the same role (if play it differently stylistically) on both units. Basically, what they had from '12-'15, particularly in the back court.


    I doubt they dump Belinelli (they gave him 2 years after drafting Walker and it's not like it wasn't known beforehand that he's a high ceiling prospect) and don't see them splurging on an SF because there's already 6 rotation players from 1-3 and that's not including Walker, who they'll more than likely want to play minutes whenever any one of those 6 can't.

    Basically, Murray/White will fill the guard/wing defender role, unless it's a big wing that they physically can't handle. Then it'll fall to a combination of Gay and whoever fills the Cunningham role.

    In an ideal scenario you move Mills and let Forbes play his role off the bench. Get a 3-and-D SF and play him with the starters in place of Forbes. Gay should be resigned for like 2 years 10-12 million per

    You are drastically underestimating Mills and Belli's leadership on that bench. Movement, rhythm, spacing has their footprints all over it. Poeltl and Bertans have the most physical gifts but they are the ones benefitting from Mills and Belli running these sets in near perfect precision.

    Mills & Belinelli have been helpful for sure, but their impact has been very spotty this year. Bertans & Poeltl have been more impactful. Stats & eye test agree with my notion.

    Indeed. I really wanted a big in that draft, so Bell and Bolden still being on the board stung. But I started to change my tune when RC said in the post-draft interview that they thought White had untapped athletic potential. That's really what sets Derrick apart from those steady low-ceiling guards that hover between the d-league and NBA like Archidiacono. You take an intangibles/skills guy and tell me he has above-average athleticism, and you've got me intrigued.
    I just checked the Think Tank.
    I wanted Monte Morris.

    Not really. He’ll be fine. His early Foul trouble ruined our whole teams vibe.
