Building the best-ever Spurs starting lineup

Basketball columnist extraordinaire Jesus Gomez had an interesting post the other day about how David West, who may well be a bargain next season considering his veterans-minimum salary, doesn't seem to be the best roster fit for the Spurs given his strengths and weaknesses and those of his teammates. I wrote a while back that the most logical way around those issues would be to play him exclusively with either Tim Duncan or LaMarcus Aldridge (preferably the former) instead of, say, Boris Diaw.

It got me thinking about who would be a better fit than West on this roster and I racked my brain thinking of former Spurs.
