Marilyn Dubinski: I don’t think we’ve seen enough from Luka to justify moving along from Gay. It feels like Gay still has something to give at this point, and with LaMarcus Aldridge now gone, reducing the playing time of others to ensure Luka maybe gets at least 7-10 min per game to stay fresh and confident is possible. But removing both Gay and Aldridge from the equation right now would be quite the leap of faith without a larger sample size. Don’t get me wrong: I’m as much on the Luka-mania Bandwagon as anyone (click here and here for examples) and have been rooting for him to reach this point, but I don’t believe replacing Gay with Samanic would be the wisest move if the Spurs’ goal this season is still to make the playoffs.
It’s time to pump the breaks on Luka Samanic
