No.
YES, but to insure that...
First of all,
do not re-sign Bonner/Mason/Bogans.
Second,
get a least verbal commitment or any kind of indication that Splitter will sign in July.
Third,
trade McDyess and possibly Hairston for a higher 1st-rounder. Draft either George or Pondexter. If there is no sign of any kind that Ian is coming back, then in addition to the two SF's, also either Whiteside or Jordan. As for the second round, draft Tim Ohlbrecht, who could be the prized stretch 4/5 that Pop covets and can be a big upgrade to Bonner.
2010-11 possible roster: C Splitter, (Ian/Hassan/Jerome), Ohlbrecht
PF Duncan, Blair
SF (George/Pondexter/RJ), Gee
SG Ginobili, Hill, maybe Hairston
PG Parker, Temple, Jerrells
With this roster, if the chemistry is right, this team can once again be le contenders and finally become a threat to the Lakers.
And lastly,
if Hairston is still on the team come October, why, OH WHY, can he not play the 2-guard?
No.
Yes.
With development of Blair, Hill, addition of Splitter and much better play of RJ it would be possible.
No, Spurs need another big. Too small in the post.
To get to the final you are going to have to go through a lot of good teams and seven game series are killers. With the team we have no way I was realy suprised we beat Dallas to be honest they were a better team then us but we just got bigger balls then they do!
With the addition of Splitter then we get alot better but will need another big and scorer to help us in the playoffs. I am high on the trade with Indiana I think tradding Hill for Rush and trading draft positions gives us a chance to get Ed Davis who gives us the type of depth we will need to have a legit chance.
hill is better than rush IMO....
The only way we can with our current core is if we can add two more pieces to that core to counter what the Lakers are doing.
If the Lakers shoot 21 freethrows in the 4th qtr.... it is impossible for any team to beat them...it's not possible unless the team shoots 90+%...last night the world witnessed the end of basketball as we've all known and loved it....really sad....again it is not mathematically possible for the Celtics, who had led all game, to have won with the free shots given to L.A.....AND THEY STILL WON BY ONLY 4.....that's the true miracle about last night.
The core is fine, it is the role players, that are not good. Get rid of Bonner, Bogans, and Mason, even at 50 dollars per game they are not worth it.
We can't win with Tim Duncan being the center point of our team anymore. He's digressed due to age and wear and tear. He's never going to be the same again but that's ok. He's still consistent and one of the better power forward /C's in the league but he can't anchor the defense or carry the offense. His FT's were atrocious in the playoffs but he actually looked decent in the regular season.
So....I believe we have a good enough core to challenge but not without changes to our offensive and defensive schemes. We have to find a new way to do this. Splitter will help but we need better defenders and shooters.
