Jason Kapono working out for Spurs

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Seems like a recurring theme since Mavs 06 playoffs - Pop just doesn't seem to care about real bigs anymore. Can't he see the height and length of LAL and OKC?

OKC isn't that ing big. I don't care what they list Perkins at, he's not a hair over 6'8 1/2". Ibaka is about 6'9 1/2". OKC did NOT beat us with size.

LAL I will agree that they are big, but like you said, no way is OKC a big team. They do have a lot of guys though that I consider to be mobile bigs. Although most of their big men aren't over 7 feet tall, and apart from Perkins, they are all mobile, which makes it hard to defend those guys.

That's why apart from a mobile PF/C, the Spurs also need more mobile SF/PF types that are at least 6'8" and taller. Looking at more small forwards even without trading Jax makes a lot of sense. That's why I also agreed with Ace3g when he said he wanted the Spurs to get Dominic McGuire. Spurs need a 3rd mobile SF/PF type of player that can give Kawhi and Jack a rest during games, and just simply for more depth overall too.

So, if the Spurs can't get a true big then they still need to get more mobile SF/PF types. That's definitely second on my list of needs for the team.

Jason Kapono on the other hand doesn't make any sense at all. Thought I would throw that in there since we are in a Jason Kapono thread .

The days of deploying two centers in your frontcourt are over. Only the Lakers are dead set on doing it.

Miami won a championship with a 6'8" PF. OKC reached the Finals with a 7 foot scoring threat... who plays on the perimeter and has no post game to speak of. Hand checking and zone defenses have all but eliminated the high-volume post scoring big man.

They definitely made Duncan work for his points more than the previous series. OKC has good frontcourt defense. Their weakness is frontcourt offense which gets you easy baskets. Lebron finally wins a championship when he figures that out. Jordan realized that and that's why he was able to win consistently.

As much as your trying to deemphasize post scoring the Heat finally won a championship when Lebron improved his post scoring.

Miami also plays amazing defense at every position. If the Spurs can do that, then I'll give them a pass. Until then, I'd like a shot blocker. Some of you guys talking about bigs on the offensive end need your heads examined. It's the Spurs' ability to stop the other team from scoring that put those banners in the rafters.
