Post Trade Deadline Spurs Rotation

[Dejounte]

If Pop wouldn’t even attempt to play Collins and Poeltl together against the Cavs, the tallest line-up in the NBA, he’s never playing them together.

DJ/Tre
Vassell/Walker-Richardson
Doug/Primo/Langford

Poeltl/Collins

It doesn't matter what lineup the Spurs is running now. We traded the only player that can run an offense other than DjM and provide help internal defense. We are going full tank mode unless someone suddenly take a leap in improvement. Our target is the draft and we would need to get in a competent PF and someone who can attack the rim and draw foul. Just hope we don't draft 3 combo guard/forward who are 6' 5. I was hoping if we trade DW, we can address some of our shortcoming not make it worse.

[BackHome]

Yeah Pop did the same with Forbes gave him playing time to help him get picked up so he will do the same with Walker.

[SequSpur]

Spurs suck.

[baseline bum]

Spurs suck.

[8FOR!3]

PG: Murray/Tre/Tomas
SG: Richardson/Primo/Langford
SF: Vassell/Walker/Wieskamp
PF: Keldon/McDermott/KBD
C: Poeltl/Zollins/Landale

This makes the most sense to me. It doesn't really leave anyone out of the rotation that HAS to have minutes right now. You can always move the guards around though, Primo or Walker could start at the two, Langford or Tomas could get some minutes off the bench some nights. There's a chance Richardson could be the main ball handler in that case like White was at times.

Murray, Jones, Satoranksy
Richardson, Dragic, Primo

This is my lineup too

[Dejounte]

Revising things a bit…

not sure if there will be cuts or not… but if not, then:

Murray/ Dragic/ Tre/ Satoransky
Primo/ Lonnie/ Richardson
Keldon/ Vassell/ Wieskamp/ Langford
McDermott/ KBD/ Cacok
Poeltl/ Collins/ Landale


G - Murray
G - Goran Dragic
G - Tre Jones
G - Tomas Satoransky
G/W - Primo
G/W - Lonnie
G/W - Josh Richardson
W - Wieskamp
W - Romeo Langford
W/F - Vassell
F - McDermott
F - Keldon Johnson
F/C - KBD
F/C - Cacok
C - Poeltl
C - Z. Collins
C - Landale

[Dejounte]

Richardson may be a ton better than Lonnie, but I don’t think Pop will destroy the kid’s (Lonnie’s) future by not letting him play out the season so he can still have a job after his time with the Spurs. Richardson might be a guy they reserve for next season. His contract is up after next season, right?

+I guess alternative is Primo is kept as the 3rd G/W off the bench since after all, there is no rush to do anything with him because of it being the first year of his rookie contract

[couchman]

I think Vassell moves into the starting lineup at the 2 spot and most other roles stay the same.
I think Langford goes to G League to work on his game.

The only questions to me are:
How much run do we give Richardson? Does he eat up Lonnie's minutes?
How much more run can we give Primo?

[Atl Spur]

If Pop wouldn’t even attempt to play Collins and Poeltl together against the Cavs, the tallest line-up in the NBA, he’s never playing them together.

He will at some point, Collins needs time to get right though.

[John B]

I agree on sending Primo more to the G-League because it’s only his 1st year and Spurs already know what they have.
I think Lonnie starts and get the most chance to earn his next contract.
Vassell plays, but I think Pop would like to see more Richardson
Likewise Langford, or he might get some burn at Austin. He’s only 22

But the question is, who is getting bought out besides Dragic? Satoransky? I wonder how much they can negotiate because that’s about 15 mil left for both, and/or whatever they’ve negotiated. Would Satoransky agree? I don’t know how it works, if there’s market for other teams to pick him up. I know Dragic has multiple and already said will negotiate on a buyout.

[Atl Spur]

Richardson is going to play….. book it. Lonnie better step up or get left behind

[MultiTroll]

mcdermoot/richardson/langford/wisekamp

Is McForbesbot long term or just to continue the tank?
Or to continue Pops long tradition of Pets (Bonner, Bryn Bryn) who "oh oh oh shoot treys at 40%."

(uncontested treys when up or down 20, do not rebound and give up far more per game on the defensive end?)

[Dejounte]

Next year’s roster maybe

G - Murray
G - Tre Jones
G - Dyson Daniels
G/W - Primo

W/F - Vassell
W/F - Patrick Baldwin Jr
F - McDermott
F - Keldon Johnson
F/C - Banchero
F/C - KBD
C - Poeltl
C - Z. Collins
C - Landale


Murray/ Tre/ Dyson
Primo/ Richardson/ Langford
Keldon/ Vassell/ Baldwin Jr
Banchero/ McDermott/ KBD
Poeltl/ Collins/ Landale

We have been in full tank mode for weeks. The whole reason why White got traded in the 1st place is that we were in full tank mode.

The gamble here is that 19 year old Primo can run an offense.

[KingKev]

Need to keep Lonnie and Richardson’s trade value up.

Walker had no trade value at the deadline and won’t this summer no matter how great he plays. If he signs an offer sheet away from us we can’t S&T him at that point, only match the offer.

Would Satoransky agree? I don’t know how it works, if there’s market for other teams to pick him up. I know Dragic has multiple and already said will negotiate on a buyout.

Satoansky kinda makes sense as a third string pg for next season. Primo isn't going to be a pg. Then again, who knows what the spurs are going to do with those 3 first round picks. They could easily find a pg ready to provide as a third string right of the bat.

The thing the team is going to miss the most from the trades is not having another solid shot creator.

DJ is the teams best shot creator and Derrick was easily 2nd. Trae Jones is also decent at creating shots for others and getting to the hoop but he doesn’t have a good enough in between game and can be easily mitigated at the rim due to his stature. Not too mention guys will play off him because he isn’t a good 3 point shooter.

I think Devin will play fine next to DJ in the starting lineup because he will not be asked to create much and he is a decent off ball player. Hopefully Primo is more aggressive now that he should get more playing time but I also hope he takes better care of the ball while having that uptick in his aggression.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I think Pop isn’t going to get too cute with the new rotations or minutes allocation

starters will be
DJ
Devin
Doug
Keldon
Jakob

bench heavy minute getters will be
Lonnie
Joshua
Richardson
Keita
Zach

i wouldn’t be surprised to see Pop play smaller with the bench having Trae, Lonnie, Joshua, Richardson, and Zach playing good minutes together also
