    Seeing Manu in anything but a Spurs jersey in the NBA would be weird.

    The problem with that is that most players perform better with extensive, consistent minutes.

    There are exceptions to that rule...Shaq used to sit out most of the first half of a season with a sore toe and only really care about being in game shape for the playoffs....other guys have been run into the ground playing major minutes all season..fresh legs are a good thing

    I haven't been so pleasantly surprised by a player ever! He is so limited in his offensive game, but makes the most with the least. Very happy with how he played last season.

    Definitely, I like Plums, but there aren't enough minutes to go around.

    And i dont see us paying him market value next year with the contracts doled out.

    Only way that might happen is if ezelis knees end up being shot and we terminate his deal next year.

    Plums will probably garner at least 15 million/yr next year

    I'd love him as a backup somehow. Total opposite of what ed davis brings out there. But you are correct.....never enough PT for 4 bigs

    Plumlee is too good, we must trade him ASAP.

    Ha Ha!

    Seriously. We could cut Dame's and CJ's average minutes down to 33 as primary guards. Turner will be the primary ball handler (backup PG) when Dame is out, not CJ. CJ will get most, if not all his minutes at SG. That's why we signed Turner.

    Damian (33) Turner (15)
    CJ (33) Crabbe (15)
    Turner (15) Harkless (18) Crabbe (15)
    Aminu (30) Davis (15) Vonleh (3)
    Plumlee (19) Ezeli (19) Leonard (10)

    I believe that we won't see these 6 frontcourt players on our team by January, maybe even not by start of camp. Too many players and not enough minutes.

    *5 bigs

    The frontcourt right now is set up with potentially six dudes taking up minutes.

    Aminu/Davis/Vonleh
    Ezeli/Plumlee/Leonard

    I have no idea how Terry is gonna make that work.

    Vonleh will never play outside of injuries.

    I forgot to add Harkless, because if we retain him, it's likely he'll log some minutes at PF.

    I am not sure how they calculate this but Batum actually has more negative votes than Crabbe.
