Linas Kleiza anyone?

[NickiRasgo]

How about him? Anyone do have information about him? Is it possible for the Spurs to sign him (financially-wise)? Just saw the idea from Facebook comments section.

To the mods, just close this thread if it's unnecessary.

Take a look at his Euroleague stats: http://www.euroleague.net/compe io...r?pcode=001925
I think they speak for themselves.

11 points on less than 5 shots per game, 90 percent from the foul line. What do his stats say when they speak to you?

The guy has NBA experience (average player in the NBA) but is a key player for Fenerbache. Can he be released? What are the chances?

I saw better numbers than Granger for a younger player that is further removed from the injury that derailed his NBA career. Seems unlikely that his current team would be interested in a buyout, but an interesting idea as a Bonner replacement.

Hm? Kleiza and Bonner are very different players.

Kleiza is a great glue guy and an efficient player who can get it done, but the Spurs are already chock full of those. I don't see how Kleiza could add significant value, unless it were to replace an injured player who goes down.

I see a stretch 4 who can't shoot any threes anymore and doesn't rebound well. It's also highly doubtful that he would get to the line as much in the NBA.

You must not be looking at what he'd currently be taking minutes away from.

I'm not sure he would be able to take away minutes from Ayres/Bonner, even though bar is obviously not set very high..

If the Spurs want to take look at the Euroleage players, I would prefer bringing back Derrick Brown:
