Spurs new players and team

[Mike Armstrong]

Aldridge is the best player on the Spurs.

You don't bench your best player for Boris Diaw, ever.

Why would you sign LMA to bench him for Boris Diaw? -You wouldnt, ever.

Leonard is.

Diaw has played with Duncan for what 4 years? This is just the first real game with Aldridge - patience is needed. I'm not worried about the big men at all. Aldridge and West are a HUGE upgrade over Splitter.

The worry should be about the SF, SG and PG depth. Manu is old and cannot be relied on for the RS. There's no true backup for Leonard and as he hasn't played more than what 66 games in any season - that's a concern. Parker is the big question mark. He's gonna get burned by the PGs of the West - Westbrooke, Paul, Lillard, etc. on the defensive end and Pop made a big mistake playing him so much vs LAC. 10 mins more of Patty and they probably would have gotten by them.

Hopefully McCallum can crack the rotation somehow and give 5-7 PPG, that would be nice. Parker won't be what he was, but as long as he isn't a negative to have on the court, the Spurs should be fine.

It's a long regular season. Joseph and Belli gave TP and Manu rest in RS. Now there's Anderson who's unproven and scrubs. There's no room for the inevitable injuries. They need a veteran (a la Bellinelli) backcourt player (instead of Bonner who is superfluous) - what they have is not enough even if Anderson works out (to Joseph's level).
