I think it's a decent addition. He has some underrated value to tap into.

If he keeps Bonner on the bench, I'm all for it.

. I know how you feel, most of us have felt that way, but things have indeed changed, especially since last season.
Bonner actually did pretty well as a spot or situational player. That is probably what he should have been all along, but the Spurs had to play him more than they should have because they didn't have the right personnel.
Now they do, so I expect in the future Bonner will be what he truly is, a sharp shooting 3 point stretch the floor marksman.

I am surprised at you, Lee. KK has good takes. You should read them. That alone will make you less ignorant than Benefactor (not that it takes a lot WITHOT reading it).

I wonder when these morons will realize nobody outside of their gay circle jerk group think they're good posters?

They'd get laughed off of any other basketball forum.

How exactly am I a troll? let me guess..I posted something you disagreed with so automatically your simple mind concludes, "troll". I'm a spurs fan so why would I go to LG? ASSumption? But based on what? Saying Nando will never be more than a middling role player? I dont spam bash Gino posts on every thread like the 2 other posters you mentioned, so where does you butthurt originate?

You disagree. That's why you are a troll. Welcome to the club. In aviation we call that "Crew Resource Management" and it saves many a plane from crashing because of some dipstick Captain that thinks he is God and can never make a mistake.

They only think they good cuz they have the support from the majority of members on ST who are homers, Popsuckers, and Manu s. I'm glad we're not blinded by homerism and have their loser mentality like SBM would say.

Seems your OCD is really active early today.
Forgot to take your meds I see.

If Corey and Sam both have good camps I Wonder if the spurs will move Nando for a future second. I've my doubts they pick up his option for next year anyway.

They don't even have majority support here. They're just on here all the time and post like 30+ times a day so it seems like more people agree with them than really is the case. If you pay attention, it's always the same group of people with the occaisional nut hugger latching on hoping to get bolded.

He'll be in the rotation. Ginobili isn't exactly playing tons of minutes anymore, just half a game's worth. Kawhi also plays some time at PF when we go small. I would assume Green's minutes get cut a little with Belinelli in now but not getting tons of minutes. That gives Young about 12-14 minutes a game.

When you look at the lineup, a lot of our players are variable. The roster will sorta look like this for the rotation of guys at which positions:

PG: Parker, Joseph, Mills (Mills likely a reserve)
PG/SG/SF: Ginobili
SG/SF: Green, Belinelli, Young
SG/SF/PF: Leonard
SF/PF: Diaw
PF/C: Duncan, Bonner
C: Splitter, Baynes (garbage minutes)


So tbh, I think Manu will take some PG time, Leonard will take some PF time like they always have even though you probably don't think of them as PF and PG players, and there's where your extra minutes come from. After all, we don't exactly have a real backup to Parker and our "real" big man rotation only consists of three guys (Duncan, Splitter, Diaw) and some patchwork dudes (Bonner, Baynes). Only a few guys only play one position (the smallest and biggest guys). Pop mixes them up a lot.

Young will have time to get in there, unload his energy, then sit. We are kind of loaded down with people who can play SG though, but I'm happy to have a bulldog defender who can defend the likes of Durant, Bryant, Harden, and James to take some pressure off of Green and Leonard from doing all the work on them. He should be a valuble asset, especially if the Spurs can manage to teach him to shoot threes better.

So yeah, I like it. More excited about this addition than Belinelli. Hope he pans out well.

Edit: Looks like we have Magette too (just now reading all the Spurs news for the past few days). I'm not sure how he will fit since he hasn't been particularly impressive for about 4 years now. Then again we probably couldn't have signed him if he was. Pretty poor defensive player, but can contibute a lot more than Young on offense. Kind of a tough decision on who would be the better choice. Then again with how cheap they are, it probably wouldn't kill us to have both. Especially if Manu inevitably gets hurt again per par.

I like it too, and if they keep both Maggette and Young then small ball becomes a decent option as well. I agree with you on the variability of the players, the Spurs IMHO have one of the most flexible teams in the league allowing Pop to experiment depending on match ups and especially to sus ute when someone is having an off night or injured.
I also hope for good things out of Beli as well as an improvement from Manu.
But if they opt to keep both SFs then they will have to get rid obf someone as you well know, most probably one of their guards. I like Mills but with Brown at Philly it seems like the Spur thing to do to send him there although they don't need any PGs.
Don't forget, the Spurs also like to keep a spot open throughout the season to keep some flexibility in order to snag someone they might like or try out on 10 day contracts.
