Love that lineup tbh If all it takes is dumping Pau to resign Mills and Simmons, I'm all for it. That lineup has a great mix, of experience and youth. Let them play it again with more experience. Btw Jeff Withey could be had for the min.
Have no problem with this, and it would piss off lma.

One point has nothing to do with the other. WTF?
Exhibit #1: Manu Ginobili.
Some are saying he should start while other are saying he gonna be an All-Star some day.
Got it? Thank you.
I love that group. As rabies said not only interesting mix of youth and experience but players in a position and their sub are different and provide different things and both lineups have shooting. Love them.
With Greens shooting slump, out of Bertans/Anderson I think Bertans would easily fit with the starting unit more. Gotta give Kawhi room to operate. Especially with presumingly Murray starting who isn't a great shooter, Bertans seems like the obvious answer.
It's hard for me to see that lineup doing better than 55 wins, tbh. Murray is not quite there, Green on the decline, Anderson slow, Aldridge soft. That's a lot for Kawhi to overcome.
I'd like to see an elite PG in the SL and then slide Murray to the second unit. A full season of consistent touches with the second unit would be good for him.
I'm on the Anderson/Bertans PF bandwagon too. Need to see what they can do next year before the big-spending summer of 2018.
I am definitely in favour of this. He's Bonner on steroids. Got a very quick release, doesn't need his feet set to shoot & has shown decent defensive presence around the rim. If Ginobili retires & Simmons walks, Slowmo is going to have to take the second unit, he needs to improve his jumper though, it seems to be one of the reasons he's so tentative to shoot. He should strictly be used as a PF though, need some sort of athleticism off the bench with him, Patty & Pau
He refuses to play at the 4. The 5 isn't even up for discussion.
Murray, Green, Kawhi, Bertans, Dedmon.
Tbh.
Since PATFO is too chicken to move Aldridge I guees LA instead of Dedmon would be ok too.
Yes, it's gonna be LA instead Dedmon because it looks like Dedmon gonna leave the team. If Murray starts and Manu continues, will be interesting look Tony and Manu coming of the bench.
This is a stupid thread. There's no way Davis can be a starter when he doesn't even know how to play in the NBA yet.
Why would an elite PG be found in the SL???
Anderson's passing ability, rebounding and defense probably fit better than Bertans as the stating 4. imagine the collective length that SL unit would have (Murray, Green, KL, KA, LMA) they would be more versatile defensively and have the potential to force turnovers.
Bertans shooting is still valuable but I would prefer he be the backup 4, especially if Hanga comes over and ends up being the backup 3 and Simmons is retained and is the backup 3. The backup wings both aren't good shooters si Mills and Bertans would help offset that issue
You are like Charlie Chaplin. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Exactly... I dont see what ppl see in Kyle...Dude is trash
That would be terrible. Teams would use all five guys to defend Kawhi.

What could have been.
But offensively, out starters will continue to struggle from 3 (Unless KA's 3 point shot takes a huge leap this summer, but I know that's not likely) and it makes KA a guy they can cheat off to throw doubles at Kawhi. How many games this post-season did we shoot terribly from 3? Who exactly would Anderson's passing benefit? There aren't really slashers in there that he could find, LMA just camps on the outside, Green at the 3 usually, and Murray, idk. I feel like his passing would benefit more guys like Simmons (assuming he's here), maybe Pau, etc.. Those guys that you mentioned not being shooters probably benefits Anderson and his ability to find guys cutting to the basket and what not.
I'd rather have our starters be versatile enough to score from 3 and have guys who could get in the paint like Kawhi and hopefully Murray.
I have come around on this.
I don't expect Pop to play much small ball. it's not his favorite style. But maybe he plays it 30-40% of the time, vs this past RS when he played it almost never. He doesn't consider Davis a small ball big. For Pop Davis is a legit stretch 4. We can say terms don't matter but they do matter for Pop's schemes, for sets etc. There's a lot where it matters.
I look forward to watching both Anderson and Bertans more but I think I have come back down to Earth. Pop is still going to play 2 bigs the majority of the time, but since he considers Davis as a big man hopefully he will play a lot more in his second season. We shall see with Anderson. I am skeptical of Pop when it comes to him.
Some guys just project what they want in an ideal world, not the way it is.
I have been guilty of daydreaming too. Then coming back crashing down to earth. Lol
Also, OP tends to daydream more than most.
With the moves the Spurs are probably going to make (not change a damn thing):
Murray - Tony
Green - Manu/Hanga
Kawhi - Simmons
Bertans - Anderson
Aldridge - Gasol
That's what makes the most sense, tbh.
It's realistic.
The real question mark for me is LMA. We shall see. I still expect Pop to find some Center to start next to him. Maybe I don't give Pop enough credit. Maybe I am jaded but LMA is still going to be a 4 and they will put Davis in the dunker spot which completely erases his best skill.
It all comes down to Lamarsha. If that is the plan^ better to find a legit center imo.
well then put him at the 4 and surround him with guards.....
