Rebuilding the Spurs

[imagump1313]

You dont really need a SF to be a big scorer with this roster. Castle is a scorer, Wemby is a scorer, Barnes is a scorer, Fox is a scorer, Harper is a scorer, Johnson is somewhat of a scorer. You need someone who can move the ball around and involve Wemby who can rebound and play defense. Bryant can do all of that. Johnson can as well. Champaigne is just a chucker who gets lit up every night defensively and turns the ball over like a maniac.

Not true. Wemby and Fox are the only reliable scorers on the roster. Everyone else is game to game.

Champagnie is no better or worse than Vassell at 10% of the cost and he will stay faithful to that role.

Vassell will get "main character syndrome" at least a couple of times a game where he thinks the team is built around him. Julian has no such misconceptions and therefore makes less errors.

We can agree to disagree about that. I'd rather have Vassell than Champaigne any day of the week.

And, Champegnie of course is not the answer as a starting/finishing SF, but in the short-term he is a better gap filler until probably Carter Bryant is ready, or someone else perhaps.

And this I think is at the heart of the problem, when your $27m dollar guy can not even perform at the level of a standard MLE 3&D guy, you have a problem. Julian is the best option now and I would play Bryant heavy minutes in the G-League to see if his shot comes around as that is the key failing of the Spurs at the moment. Even more than the lack of a starting calibre PF where Barnes/Sochan and platoon effectively until something better comes along.

And I am starting to agree with GREY. Lets bring something in this trade deadline to see if it can improve the team. If not, we do it in the off-season.

Yeah, I think the Spurs will be looking actively to improve the team, SF being primary issue.
