You need someone who hangs around the basket.

Huh? In what way? Okur averages 6.7 RPG, Melo 6.5 RPG, and Harrington 5.8 RPG ... I think they're "hanging around the basket" quite effectively.

I do like the young big men on my bench. I'd see KG mentoring them both. Need to find some scoring though.

Thanks. I'd take the current team too. This one's been on the fly for me but a nice distraction from work.

well like someone said, the bad teams are alot easier to make look better....like a certain sacramento team 

losing Ray, Perk and Pierce is pretty tough

[RebusRankin]

Yeah but you've done a great job with the KIngs.

I think I have done a pretty good job of making this spurs team better then the current one for the first seven. I will admit that some people are probably Richard Jefferson fans more then me, but then again look at how much he has "helped the spurs" in real life. I also think a 35 year old Ginobli that cant handle more then 25mpg has become overrated in real life. Yea I am pretty awesome.

I meant offensively, none of your guys is a post player, nor do they like to play there.

Very small backcourt.  I'd be starting Mason and be looking to get some value for Barbosa.

Jarret Jack is probably the best backup pg possible.  Love that selection.

I question Marion at the 3.  He's best suited to a 4.  I think you could get fantastic offers for him.

Overall thought, i think your Spurs give the current ones a run for their money - tough to do when you've started with a good team

The Josh Howard inclusion/pick stands out like a sore thumb to me.  I think he makes that starting 5 worse.  Not a good perimeter shooter, or ball handler.

That really is a perimeter orientated offense though.  Although Melo and Harrington do get into the post, you really need a banger down there (Nene/KMart).

I think defensively it will be a real struggle.  WHilst Okur is a capable defender, he isnt a shot blocking threat. 

Also, as mentioned, rebounding is a real weakness.  Although their collective rebounding numbers may be ok, you really need that one or two glass eaters to be competitive.  The 6 rebounds that Okur, Melo and Harrington get are only by chance due to the fact that there teams have double digit rebounders that cant grab every rebound.

Can you imagine the rebounding battle between your team and CelticsClays Spurs.

The new LA Pigs.


PG  Foye
SG  Kobe
SF  Turk
PF  Gasol
C   Gortat


Bench

SG/PG  Redick  (He works as a PG in the Triangle offense much like a Ron Harper.  Kobe and Turk are the true PGs)
PF   Tyler Hansbrough

Offensively, the team is strong.  The next couple of roll players need to bring the defense.

Totally disagree ... while I would concur that the Spurs are more defensively oriented, the Nuggets would destroy them on offense. My starting five AVERAGES over 90 points/game, and as far as Howard making the team worse, I just don't see that at all. I could easily say that every other's teams rebounds are "by chance" as well, but making that kind of blanket statement about ANY team is just plain wrong. One or two RBS per game per player may happen by chance, but saying all of the Nuggets' rebounds are not worked for or earned is WAY off. The Nuggets are a huge threat offensively from outside AND in the paint, if you check the numbers closely. Sorry, but this assessment just doesn't stand up under scrutiny. We ALL think our team is the best, obviously, but I no matter how you look at it, this team is a contender ... and Bayless and CDR off the bench? I'm lovin' this lineup.
