This year's lack of offensive versatility was cased by two factors.

In the regular season. When the real season started, it became pretty obvious that the two man game from LA and Kawhi wasn't going to cut it.

Thats because Pops are easy to defend unless the popper isa three pointer ala Love. OKC,GSW,LA all have top tier rollmans. I dont think people realize how the offense was going to be predictable when Aldridge came here. Hes a pick and pop guy with very little to zero willingness to improve his game. Hes 30, he wont change. Ive said it at the start of the season..If aldridge develops a roll game, we are good.

LMA and Kawhi would have cut it if they worked on a roll game. That would have doversified the offense

I'm surprised no one has thought of Tyler Johnson as a possible Ginobili replacement. He's a bit undersized at only 6'4" and is coming off rotator cuff surgery, but he would be a gamble worth taking since Miami is strapped for cash with higher priorities in Wade and Whiteside.

They could possibly snag him and Plumlee for little more than what Ginobili and Duncan made last season, plus have some cash left to hopefully find a backup 4/5 and another swing man.

I agree with that other member that Terrence Jones could be a nice option if they move Diaw at back up PF. He has some unresolved (to my knowledge) injury concerns, but his athleticism and motor are two things this team could use badly. It always seems like he played over his head the last few seasons against the Spurs.

...I would love Batum in an Iggy role to replace Manu but I'm not sure he would be willing to come off the bench.

I have been advocating for this since forever. It would be a killer move.

Kawhi needs to work on his pick and roll game on the off-season, and getting to the basket with his dribble. Unfortunately, his natural strenghts (postups, isos, midrange) don't lead to efficient offense on todays NBA.

He would be just fine if Pop would go back to featuring him in a motion offense instead of running isolation ever time down the floor. Pop is doing the opposite of what the Warriors did when they transitioned from Mark Jackson to Kerr.

Kawhi was one of the most efficient NBA players on Isos in the regular season.

But the issue was Pop never mixed up it, between Kawhi's isos and other plays for him.

They never call a play to free him off of screens, never let him run the pick and roll with Parker on the court, Pop wasn't creative about Kawhi's offense.

Only against OKC we saw Kawhi consistently attack the rim, but it was too late.
