[@Indigo3.7]

I dont think people understand how DANGEROUS the SPURS ARE NOW. CP3 is probably THE BEST PICK AND ROLL PG I've seen. As a die-hard SPURS FAN, he upset the Spurs so much since his New Orleans days w Tyson Chandler then lob city with Griffin and Jordan. BUT the Spurs 5 CHAMPIONSHIPS revolved around the PICK AND ROLL offense w Parker and Duncan. They literally just brought back the ORIGINAL SPURS TYPE OF PLAY W these 2 players only....

[@SmartPsychopat1]

This is a 39yr old CP3, there's limit to what he can do now.

[@olimercer835]

CP can give a good 25/30 minutes a night playing at his pace. They'll have to put a lot of long, athletic guys around him. If they could switch well and shoot, the other pieces might decide how far they could go Glad they'll have mainly just one backup point guard now as well for CP. Instead of rotating 2 below average starting PG's

[@SmartPsychopat1]

@@olimercer835 Well, the good 20-25 minutes is quite relative tbh cos how good can he get right now? We saw him at GSW last season and his legs were literally gone. The pace at which he moves at is very slow.. they should have gone for Trae Young instead, don't see any significant improvement CP3 has to give them, the best they do is win more games,they ain't finishing higher than 12th.

[@Indigo3.7]

@SmartPsychopat1 LOL He was ALL NBA season before last... All he need to do IS PASSS THE LOB and control the offense! Players today dont age like the 90s players did. HES GONNA BE JUST FINE.

@@Indigo3.7 Yes he was an All NBA player before he joined GSW but that's how quick a player can turn especially if you are In your late 30's..

Good signing and CP3 can be more like a coach. CP3 will be injured most of the season and playing 18 minutes a game isn't going to suddenly get them into the playoffs.
