By IWMTB19 Go To PostAF Aminu as better than Monta last year...
Now you've just lost it lol
By cloudy Go To PostWould any Mavs fan disagree that Monta was their best player last year? Unless you think Lin could even come close to doing that this year, it would be a huge downgrade
Chandler Parsons was probably the best player towards the end of the season before he got hurt again. I hope his knee injury wasn't too serious.
By Vahagn Go To PostNow you've just lost it lolAdvanced metrics have never liked Monta.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostDamn. Crazy how fast it can happen (for the warriors) and how fast it can all go (like for the blazers). I'm pouring one out for db and reilo as well
toss one back for reilo and db yall

I'm happy to say I'm going home to Texas and will be a Spur!! I'm excited to join the team and be close to my family and friends.
By rodeoclown Go To PostAdvanced metrics have never liked Monta.
Monta has been their best player since they've signed him. Everything aminu got was created by Monta or Dirk being doubled or breaking down the defense, and Monta being bad last year was a result of Rondo taking the ball from him.
That team had the best offense in the league with Monta being their primary option and lead guard while Aminu was buried in the bench for long stretches and needed Parsons being complete ass or injured to see so much playing time.
Anyone who bet on the spurs to make the finals or win a chip yesterday (or before the betting lines adjusted for LMA) is going to be sitting pretty
By thekad Go To PostBlazers deserved it.We haven't got our playmaking guard yet. Don't tempt the gods.
Something poetic about Bron having to go through Duncan one last time to finally get that chip for Cleve.
The Spurs probably still need TP to not be a corpse to beat the Warriors.
Also, Duncan has to decline at some point, right?

So Parker, Green, Kawhi, LMA and Duncan as starters. Mills, Manu(?), Diaw, Kyle Anderson, Corey Joseph, plus a few players at the vet min (Bonner?)

This is exactly how i feel. Not just Duncan, they're an injury away from falling into a lower seed. And Home Court is important in the West.

If Duncan had to play 35 minutes on both ends he'd break down years ago. But Pop's figured out a way to keep him effective and LMA will just make that easier

Everyone in the West is an injury away from a lower seed
I still like the Warriors and even the Clippers (if they up their depth) in the West. Spurs will need some time to adjust to LMA and homecourt will be crucial

The biggest news is this tho:

ESPN sources say that Gregg Popovich, as of now, is intent on coaching out his entire five-year contract that he signed last summer

I'm guessing in the second meeting Pop promised LMA that he would coach through out both their contracts. LMA's 4th year is a player option, so, I'm thinking that LMA is hoping the next few years will extend his career like Pop has been able to do for TD

That might have been what finally made Alridge pull the trigger.

They don't even need him!!!
Who am I kidding it's the perfect fit. Surprised it took him this long to figure it out.

By Branduil Go To PostI wonder how Phoenix is feeling after trading away guys for nothing.
Granger is done, Marcus is a cancer, and Bullock never played anyway. I doubt they feel that awful about it. If they'd traded away Keef for capspace then they'd be feeling like idiots.

Everyone says DAJ and Chris didn't get along, but the elbow pnr toss it to the ceiling and let DAJ go after it alley oop had to be one of Chris Paul's most utilized plays.
you still have blake griffin to do that but I still think that offense lost something beyond just size.
By clevinger Go To PostGranger is done, Marcus is a cancer, and Bullock never played anyway. I doubt they feel that awful about it. If they'd traded away Keef for capspace then they'd be feeling like idiots.Markieff can't be happy about his brother being traded away for nothing.

Yes to both. If the Spurs don't have Parker playing like a real PG in the postseason, their offseason is going to be Kawhi and LMA isos against Iggy and Draymond Green and that's a formula for losing in 5. If Duncan and Parker both have one good season left though, they could beat Golden State.

From the article posted it seems the Suns had to get rid of him. Bad stuff happened when the twins were together
