Jefferson plays the 4 to spread the floor
Bonner using his corporate knowledge at the 5
We all laugh when we see Bonner in the starting line up, because we all know it's probably going to happen.
What it will be:
Parker
Manu
Jefferson
Bonner
Duncan
What it should be:
Parker
Manu
Leonard (or Anderson)
Duncan
Splitter
But never forget the famous post-playoffs quote:
- "Maybe it's Matt Bonner (as starter)"
Tony
Manu
RJ
Duncan
Blair
Unless the Spurs get multiple injuries to bigs, there's no way Bonner is starting. Whether they trade for a big or not, Bonner's position is set in stone: he'll be the third big, seventh man and play 20-24 mpg.
Chris Paul
Manu Ginobili
Kawhi Leonard
Tim Duncan
Tiago Splitter
Two likely lineups
At the bare minimum I better see Splitter in the starting lineup.
Barring the unlikely trade of RJ for a starter quality big, this will be the starting lineup on opening night.
What it will be:
Tony Parker
Vince Carter
Richard Jefferson
Tim Duncan
Matt Bonner
What it should be:
Parker
Anderson
Leonard
Blair
Splitter
Call me an asshole, and I hate to see it as much as anyone, but I think this is the year we really start to see Duncan taper off into a borderline starter. Let Parker see what he can do with some young legs for a change.
The more things change...
No trade:
Tony
Manu
RJ
Tim
Tiago
Don't see how you can start Blair over Tiago with same offensive limitations.
Dude that's not even funny
That sucks to
Parker
Ginobili
Howard
Duncan
Kaman
Parker
Neal
RJ
TD
Splitter
Parker, Anderson, Carter, Duncan, and Splitter
Parker
Ginobili
Jefferson

Splitter
Parker
Anderson
Butler
Duncan
Kaman
safe bet is:
Splitter at center
Duncan and Leonard at forwards,
Manu and Parker at guards....
but if they can obtain a big (say Nene or Al Jefferson)
then that big at center, Duncan at forward
perhaps the small forward free agent they got
then the usual backcourt
my dream Spurs lineup would be:
Nene at center,
Duncan at power forward,
Howard at small forward
Manu and Parker
or if they trade Parker.............
if wishes were horses
