David West...

[SpurPadre]

Most disastrous free agent signing ever for the Spurs tbh.

Jefferson says hi. Oh wait, we got him in a trade, didn't we? My bad...

[spursistan]

Spurs lucked out that West cowardly and quickly ran over to the Warriors. The Spurs may have been tempted to re-sign him.

Probaly this,tbh...

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban played 7 meaningful minutes. How the can you accurately asses to make an end all conclusion based on a small sample size like that? .

They put him in a PnR & got anything they wanted, D-Worst actually had a decent Gm 3 when he wasn't matched up w/ Kanter. The only person that stood a chance against Kanter was Tim.

If Diaw was injured, Pop could have started D-Worst & matched him up against Ibaka.

Spurs lucked out Chinook isn't the GM b/c he would have given D-Worst a max contract to be the starting center.

West was atrocious in all phases. Had no impact offensively, his Pick and Pops were a cancer to the weakside offense even if he was making the opportunities at a 40% clip. Unfortunately, he was an even bigger cancer because he was only making less than 20% on the mid-range opportunities. On D and on the boards, he was getting abused and exploited relentlessly. OKC had killed the Spurs on the boards.

I forgot about it, I missed most of the first quarter but I'll give it a shot.

No one said he could have saved the season, jack ass.

He was better than West, especially vs. the OKC matchup.

In Gm 3, he closed the game w/ Ibaka on the floor & didn't get killed on the boards. Kanter is one of the best offensive rebounders in the league so it was pretty dumb to have D-Worst box him out.
Boban also played 7 meaningful minutes where he got manhandled by Adams in that disastrous stretch of Gm 6.

The real question is what teams will Durant and West play for next year?

That's a testament to the steaming pile of that David West was.

Boban should have played over him vs. OKC after game 2. Pop makes the adjustment, Spurs win the series. IMO

Oh sorry......

Pop needed to make the adjustment early in game 4 or 5. Not a desperation Elimination game.

And Boban still wouldn't have been ready. The problem last year was the team relied on Diaw so much turn on his playoff switch, but our fatass couldn't do it. Duncan was old. And West was Dworst.

I don't buy that.

Boban, the most glorified benchwarmer of the 21st century

Exactly, that's why he wouldn't have made a difference still

[spursistan]

That was a point that raybies made and I think he's right (though an early observation). He had another insight which I found interesting. That the Durant offense is less dynamic than the Curry offense and that Curry the past season running off screens (which Bogut was a major part off, with Raymond of course), his play off the ball and how defenses had to bend to account for him, made it incredibly difficult to deal with them as a team. Curry helped open opportunities for easy baskets for a lot of others guys. Durant's offense doesn't have the same effect. So, he can get hot posting up smaller guys from the midrange, that's less scary than the Curry 3s who at times seemed unstoppable and there was nothing you can do but switch and follow him around, which created a lot of opportunities for others.

They will look better I am sure, but Durant taking the ball from Curry doesn't help the team be better than they were last season and then on top of that they lost roleplayers that did little blue collar things that are always unappreciated. They lost some guys that helped the team be great within their roles and they are not going to get those similar things from D.West.

We go back to this point ..They look vulnerable even with Durant having a career-best efficiency while pouring in 30 .PPG, but the loss of their previous offensive structure has seemingly affected Curry's and even more Klay who is off to an ugly start.

[spursistan]

Hopefully Kerr goes down with the "veteran enforcer" who does't want to feel "disrespected" ..

[sasaint]

They didn't have much choice. Those guys weren't going to leave millions on the table, like West did. And they were dead-set on signing Durant.

When Durant turns out to be a one year rental, and they have to start paying Curry real money they'll really be screwed. Welcome to salary cap .

Yep! The Front Office that is light years beyond the rest of the league looks like it because they signed Curry after an injury-riddled season for less than Parker makes!

[TD 21]

Considering Lee clearly would have been a superior on court fit, they probably signed West for his supposed leadership and weight his voice carries. Anytime you put that much star power/ego together, there's at least a decent chance that things go sideways chemistry wise.

On court, he's a terrible fit for the exact same reasons he was last season: he doesn't roll or provide enough rim protection/rebounding to effectively play center.

Let's just hope no one bails these pricks out.
