No need to redass over a this one. No one thought Neal would be this good.
Predictions, predictions. We all have them.

+1. Neal is a great find. LOL, heres a "prediction". I do not forsee Neal being a one year wonder like RMJ, like a few on here worry about Neal becoming.
I never got why people say Pop has the best eye for talent, then second guess every move he makes.
Some folks on here just like playing the armchair NBA GM/Coach. It also depends on the Spurs won/loss record whether the war on here betweeen the "Pop apologists vs. Pop haters" starts heating up. The Pop haters are kinda hiding in the shadows, so to speak, because of the great start so far by the Spurs. They will start popping up if the Spurs get on a losing streak. Its fun and makes for good debating back and forth.
I'm using this as context:Seems like you indeed made yourself clear.
Let me know if you meant something other than what you actually posted.
Another interesting thread would be the one that announces the Summer League Roster. There was a lot of discussion about Neal on it as he was the name that caught everyone's eye.
I'm still wondering how we fit Anderson back into this rotation? Neal needs to be on the floor.
Well so far, that 3-year contract is great for Spurs! Neal has been having great games in scoring recently.
It's not going to be easy to fit him back into the rotation, but I think he'll see minutes on a decent basis. I can see Udoka going to IR or getting cut. Neal's going to still get his minutes because he's earned them, but he'll probably be seeing a few less and Ginobili will probably get less minutes at SF. Anderson will likely once again be the backup SF soon enough.
Simple. JA will be the backup SF. He will take some minutes from Manu and RJ. Hopefully Manu can rest more when JA returns. The Udoka plan isn't working.
Udoka will evaporate (he's been awful), JA takes the SF minutes. Easy!
Parker 32 min
Hill 30 min
Ginobili 30 min
Neal 20 min
Jefferson 28 min
Anderson 15 min
Duncan 30 min
Bonner 15 min
Blair 20 min
McDyesSplitter 20 min
Then you probably should have quoted that. What you actually did was quote where I was responding to the statement "Neal's not going anywhere with that contract" as though it meant he was going to be with the Spurs for three years no matter how he played.
His play is the reason he's on the team now, not his contract. If you can figure out what part of that was wrong I'm all ears.
There's plenty of guard minutes. Anderson will be taking forward minutes for the most part. As the playoffs get closer, and the rotation shortens, someone is going to be odd man out with this depth, and Udoka, Anderson and Splitter are at the top of the list.
Decided to go over this thread since i'm bored at work...some pretty funny and some dead on..
Guinness's it is.
I seriously doubt that there was ever a "plan" with Sudoku. He was always just meant to be another warm body until Anderson returned.

It was interesting watching him up close and in person in Summer League. What a journey it's been.
hairston better shooter then Neal ..hahahahahaha
you gotta love those Malik lovers.
If Anderson proves to be a good shooter like he was in college, and he plays with the same defensive tenacity we saw from him the first 10 games or so this year, he may be the starting small forward.
yes please
you guys really think James Anderson is going to start next year with making 30m in the next 3 years and with Pop as our coach ?
You guys have to be satisfied if he plays 10-15min/game. He won't start next year. Don't be delusional please.
James Anderson is not that good. No, not even as good as RJ.
