Jokic on team building that can be applied to the Spurs


Basically there is no shortcut to chemistry. Guys need 2-3 yrs of playing together to know how to play. Jamal Murray wasn't the only player Jokic had built chemistry with. He had good chemistry with Garry Harris and Jemeer Nelson too. But the team had to address the need and find the right guy for the roster.

For the Spurs, we already see the chemistry at the end of the season that wasn't there last year. That's a sign of progress and it will take 1-2 more years to see the ceiling of this team when everyone is on the same page. At that point, then, the team will start making hard decisions. Some of the fan favorite players will be gone for players who can fill the need of the team.

From what we've heard so far. This is the direction that this Spurs team is taking. Young guys will get opportunities to grow and build chemistry and know how to play around Wemby. What I expect to see is a rotating cast of veterans who will come and go during this process to mentor this young group and get a chance to play with Wemby before they retire.

  1. Yep. Preach patience. The Heatles were supposed to dominate right away but didn’t. The GSW dynasty didn’t start out as one.

  2. The nuggets are actually like the GSW, draft core 3, add important piece (Iggy – Gordon), fill the roster :))
    And also important, don’t fire your coach.
