Do you expect any offensive or defensive structure or scheme changes this year?

Kyle will get his shot and some more now that Bobo is gone, IMO... And by "his shot" I mean minutes to show how he can be productive on the court, regardless of who he's playing with and what we're running. It's going to be largely up to him a lot more than last season to give Pop confidence that he's ready for a playoffs role.

I expect JSimms to have a larger role too, but in a different way. I think if Danny continues to underwhelm like last season, I can see Pop taking some minutes from him and giving them to Simms, at least early in the season. Just to with Danny a bit and lit a bit of a compe ive fire there. Off the bench, same thing with some of Patty's minutes if he also underwhelms. He's always going to get some of Manu's minutes regardless, since I expect Manu to be around 15-20 mins a night tops, and probably miss back to backs.

Right now at this moment I'm not sold on neither Kyle or Simms being the guys the Spurs need them to be. But I wish them well, and sure hope they eventually turn into that, because at this point, without Tim, Bobo, an old Tony and Manu, we're going to need them.

Thanks for sharing the tweet, KAs got heart and determination Im pretty sure, hes just got an unorthodox style. And I agree that Pop can be overcontrolling. Ive always thought that but obviously is a great tactician too with a whole hand covered in rings so hes definitely the boss. The best I hope for KA is that hes like Kawhi, a steady improver. I believe its in him. I believe he knows that hes unorthodox and he cant always have his way and is working to meet Pops half way. And in all honesty, he needs to do that, he needs a 3pt shot and but more important....to take the @#$%^& shot!!! He needs to do this and more...but not at the expense of what hes already got. Hes a b-ball artist but the object of the game is to win. I know he knows this but can he make it a reality? October is getting closer

Yup. Looking forward to it. I am more excited about his 3 pt shot. It helps really space the floor in the system. The first game of the season is going to be against GSW. I think he tweeted that when the schedule was released so at least the dude was not scared to learn of that . More like healthy respect, is what Pop always preaches. I think GSW is going to have all team's gunning for their heads anyways. If guys are compe ors they are going to show up and compete for every GSW game. I wonder if it will wear them out. Looking forward to Raymond tantrums, but I hope he keeps his kicking nuts habits from this game. I actually think the Spurs could surprise them.
