No, I'm not sure DWill alone would make a whole lot of difference actually. Especially for what he'd cost us. We need to find another Tony Parker...

I actually think we need a scoring SF or another SG... And I fully realize we may have to wait a while for it.

Lately it isn't Kobe's shooting that really has been the problem... It's his ball-handling... He can't control the ball in traffic like he used to, and he can't finish at the rim. He's basically reduced to being a mid range shooter...
I don't have a problem with him taking those shots and missing some of them.

In the short term, I think we need to let someone else set up the offense more and try to limit the ISOs for Kobe if possible... But we need an additional offensive creator in the long run, badly...

yeah, for all the hoopla about his knees, we all forget how jacked his hands/fingers are and have been...

and we see it alot ever since that one finger went all sideways permanently, with his ball handling...

You know as much as we're constantly talking about getting offensive creators, maybe it's time the team create a team full of them at every spot.

Kobe in the high post (no ball-handling), a big SF that can shoot the 3/post up on a smaller guy/ and drive, a PG that can drive. Heck why play this old model of basketball where it's one directional basketball. The Spurs are turning the game back to the 80s right now, I think L.A. can top them.
