Would take Hill over Parker right now tbh.
Pop was trying to get it to work and he did not have many other options. In the second half we were getting dominated on the boards and putting Hill on the floor with Tony and Manu just means more trouble in that regard.
Early returns on Jefferson were also good. It looks to have been fools gold now but I have no issue with him trying to ride it til the wheels fell off. I am doubly in that viewpoint when I consider the alternatives.
Pop will go away from things that do not work when he has alternatives. Splitter missed all of TC and half the season. He still worked him in and tried to rely on him come playoff time. He benched Blair's ass even though you could tell outside of pic and roll sets Splitter was lost. What was encouraging is that you could see him get better game by game. He found his back screens and was contributing when he was not the focal point.
He tried to give Anderson some minutes down the stretch but he too was dinged and was ineffective to boot.
I understand the frustration but when you have those guys fall through what alternatives are you left with? I absolutely hated the Bonner Blair lineup but given the cir stances I do not see what reasonable alternative he had. i wish we had a capable 3. We did not.
Its going to be more of the same this year. We need Splitter healthy for 65+ games. We need Leonard, Anderson and Joseph to chip in. If that happens then a lot of our flaws will be addressed. If not then we are going to be in big trouble.
I do not find cynicism to be a virtue. I am not going to spend the next several months thinking its going to suck. The Spurs scouting has been pretty good over the last decade. I gotta have faith.
Would take Hill over Parker right now tbh.
I think that Hill would have filled in for Manu after the injury if this trade hadn't been made by the spurs.
Maybe spurs traded hill because of danny green...seem to be same player and kawi has upside, youth, length....lets see that is what so many have been crying for, spurs take a chance then get beat down by the same people asking for this kind of move....
I get what your saying but still way too early to start throwing that out there.
Looks like RJ is still starting and there wasn't very much more to the off season
Sorry for the bump, Leonard is just such a damn boss I couldn't help myself.
Was a no brainer move then that helped the Spurs now and for the future.
Such a damn solid trade by the FO.
You knew there was something special about Leonard when they made this trade.
They gave away a fan favorite, Pop's favorite player, and someone whom the team trusted.
lol direction
George was never Pop's favorite player. He just started saying that during the 2009 training camp to save face after ripping him from the rotation the previous season and pissing everyone off.
lol RJ untradeable
Time flies. One of my favorite as a Spur. Welcome back to San Antonio George Hill!
So far, it's a great move by the Spurs. Noticed also that there are people here who prefer Singleton over Leonard, how is Singleton right now? Anyway, it's a great move (as we can see right now) by the Spurs during off-season even though Spurs didn't make any move by just only signing TJ Ford and was about to sign another SF (Butler/Howard/Battier) by amnestying RJ but it didn't proceed and turned out to another great move by acquiring Captain Jack.
Sorry for bumping up.
RJ was traded guy
DPG wrong about dat Leonard.
ahhh Free at last
I'm sure you don't regret this at all.
in before the conley card
dpg wrong bout' Leonard
I hope nobody is going to find embarrassing quotes from me
Not that embarrassing tbh. I don't think anyone expected what we have seen from Leonard.
Parker was playing like at the start of the season, I wouldve taken Hill over him for those first few weeks. Kawhi has proved alot of people, including me, wrong though...this was definitely a solid trade for the Spurs.
Chump very solid in this thread tbh... in retrospect he was 100% right.
