2011-2012 line up 

Post#1 » by starbuck785 » Sun May 15, 2011 3:37 am

OK barring any big changes this is how I see our line up next year and the issues I see.
C. Splitter/Bonner
PF.Duncan/Blair
SF.Jefferson/Butler/Green
SG.Manu/Anderson/Neal
PG.TP/Hill

I see a huge issue with our second unit. The size we need a option maybe 2 bigs if we rest duncan like we did this year a front court of Bonner Blair and splitter = no shot blocking. With the teams out west getting bigger all the time that front court wont cut it! But the big question is whos out there and do we have any money to give anyone a contract?
Nene,Chandler, Dalembert Would love one of those guys but that wont happen.
Ajinca,Fesenko,Ndiaye,Battie,Gadzuric This list isnt a great list but its size and some youth.

I think it is going to be like this :

PG: Parker/Hill/
SG: Manu/Neal
SF: Jefferson/Anderson/Butler/Green
PF: Duncan/Blair/Bonner
C: Splitter

I think the Spurs will work with Anderson as the backup SF. Butler and Green will fight for a spot. We are going to have a hole in C position and i expect us to bring a vet for the min.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

I expect Splitter to start too but we definitely need to add some size. We need another legit center on this team.

For me, i've said this many times, but I think the frontcourt issue has to be fixed from within. That means Splitter and Blair has to improve. I would like Bonner to be the 4th big in the rotation because he gives us something that none of our bigs can give. 3 point shooting to spread the floor. Plus, Bonner has a multi year deal.

C: Splitter / Bonner
PF: Duncan / Blair

Tony Parker and Manu are obviously starters. Neal and Hill has earned their spot.

PG: Parker / Hill
SG: Manu / Neal

SF is my biggest issue right now. When we play Parker, Hill, and Manu together, we're extremely short. Danny Green isn't NBA ready. So does Dasean Butler. Richard Jefferson disappeared. I'm hoping on James Anderson, but let's be honest with ourselves, he didn't show us much in his rookie season. Blair, Hill, and Splitter showed much more as a rookie than James did. So should we really count on him? What this team needs is not just some backup SF to Richard Jefferson. What we need is actually a STARTER to supplant Jefferson.

I want Tayshawn Prince or Mbah a Moute.

SF: Prince (Moute) / RJ / Anderson
