PG: Murray
SG: Bryn "Steph" Forbes
SF: DeRozan
PF: Aldridge
C: Poeltl
PG: DJ Murray
SG: Derrick White
SF: DeMar Derozan??
PF: LaMarcus Aldridge??

Murray - White - DeMar - Gay - LMA
Either/or. Preferably the former. Simplify Walker's game as a secondary playmaker off the ball, so he can focus on defending the best wing. Also, optimizes touches for White w/ second unit ( like Manu). Have Lonnie see 20-24 mpg total, while White gets 28-32 mpg.
Safe bet. Would hope Carroll or Bertans is in there instead of Poeltl but it will be changing a lot.

Derozan honestly kinda clogs things up. I think having Walker start as SG as the secondary playmaker is a great idea but I feel like Derozan needs to be in that role to be useful. Being that Spurs aren't moving Derozan, he's not coming off the bench, and he's not likely to develop a 3pt shot any time soon, I'd probably start with :
Murray/White/DeRozan/Carroll/LMA. This is a solid defensive unit with ok spacing. DeRozan can guard the SG as White and Murray are good enough defenders to cover most SFs.
Use Walker off the bench in the Manu role and lead the bench mob next to Forbes/Gay/Bertans/Poeltl. The other problem is Mills though, because he's trash and you know he's going to get 20mpg regardless of the fact that we have a cheaper, younger better version of him in Forbes. Then there's also Marco who I'm sure Pop will also gift 20mpg. Spurs really need to trade these two to best utilize their lineups imo
What is likely: Murray, Forbes, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge.
What I prefee: Murray, White, DeRozan, Gay, Aldridge
Last year, even mores so than years past, our bench is what always brings us back into games because of the drastic change in space and pace. Now that we are pretty deep we should just put our best players in the SL now. Spacing sucks but it's obvious we need to start getting better defenders out there around Gay and DeRozan so this makes the most sense to me. Both I'm ok with though as long as one of Belli and Mills is eventually out the rotation by the end of the year.
Forbes has to start to boost himself up and maximize this roster.

What can we get for Marco B. And Mills? Many teams need shooters.

Including the Spurs, oddly enough.
2nd round picks
Start: Murray-Derozan-Gay-Aldridge-Poeltl
Bench: White-Forbes-Walker-Carroll-Bertans
Deep Bench: Mills-Beli-Johnson-Samanic/Metu-Eubanks
If White has improved his three I’d like Murray and Forbes paired and White and Walker paired, a three point shooter on the floor with each. Unfortunately Mills will be in the top four in the PG/SG rotation. Hopefully KJ adds another playable 3 point shooter.
Not really. Forbes, Bertans, and Walker lV off the bench is pretty damn good. Mills and Belli are disposable.
White - Forbes - DDR - Gay - LMA (aka our five best players - role by role - last season)
DJM Walker Bertans Carroll Poeltl
White and Forbes have gained the right to start the season...during the season I hope both DJM and Walker show to be ok phisically and reliable as players...so they can take their place in the SL (because both are obviously the more phisically skilled and talented players)...
Not nearly enough.
Murray and Lonnie are a perfect combo together. Lonnie is a scorer only type player, and Murray rebounds, assists, plays defense. Lonnies got the explosiveness Murray lacks. Theyre perfect together.
Revising due to rumors:
PG: Westbrook
SG: White
SF: Carroll
PF: Aldridge
C: Poeltl
