Jordan for sure. He's a good defensive Center but he's not going to turn some team into a juggernaught. If he's your 3rd or 4th best player that's good.

Boogie is pretty damn good. I'd say he's rated fine but his problems are in his head.

I'm not going to take the bait on Davis.

but I feel like LMA is getting a little overrated.



For a guy, who has averaged 22 and 10 with a PER of almost 22.0 over the last 5 years, I would say he is probably a little bit underrated if anything

Sources tell Stein that the signing of Aldridge all but clinches that Popovich, at the very least, will indeed coach beyond Duncan's playing career as opposed to walking away from the bench when Duncan finally does retire


We're guaranteed at least one more championship.

I would agree with this, especially when you consider the organization he is joining.

Do the Spurs have a center on their roster?




You ever heard of Tim Duncan?

My only point was he's being treated as a massive superstar. I just see him as a really good player.

Yeah. The #1 PF of all time. So what?

He's only gonna play ~25 minutes a game. Do they have an actual center on the team?

Really not trying to flame or anything just asking a question

Center is their next priority in free agency.

If Livio Charles is healthy and stays Duncan slides back to C.

How's yalls cap situation? I'm thinking yall need to send Patty Mills to the Cavs for the Haywood contract to clear some space for other players..

But thats just me...

Tim Duncan has been more of a center than a PF late in his career. LMA can play it a little too, I know he's said he doesn't want to but he should play there some.
Aside from those two, I don't think they do have one on the roster, but I don't believe it's a big deal.

I don't know to be honest. It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out. Not sure how getting David West makes a lot of sense since we have three PF's on the roster with no centers.

Not cool with letting Baynes go. I realize the numbers weren't going to work with him, but I was at least hoping he could slide into the Splitter role.

Wishful thinking on my part.

I would think with LMA and Duncan they will run the offense they used with Bowen and crew.

They can make Aldridge basically a high post and switch mid play who is 4/5.

Problem I see with that is foul trouble or resting players. I guess West becomes the 5 but isn't the shooter/passer for the offense.

That's why Livio is so key to be here.

A healthy Cavs team is better. I will take James, Love, and Irving over Leonard, Aldridge and 40 year old Duncan

Cavs have a better supporting cast as well with Mozgov, Thompson, Shumpert, Dellavadova, and Jones over Dead legs Parker, Has been Ginobli, And Green.

Spurs do have Pop and he is a top 5 coach where the jury is still out on Blatt.

Anyone disagree?


If Love and Irving stay healthy, it's not unreasonable that the Cavs would win in 6 or 7.

Delly is definitely the difference maker off the bench

Y'all know the defending champs that just had a historically good season are basically returning everyone and were relatively young team last season?
