it would be a perfect comparison if Quaid choked in a previous battle against the Aliens, giving them a permanent stronghold while he tries to laugh it off in Spanish....then he returns to make a comeback with his own sacrifice. but otherwise I agree.
and hopefully there isn't a scene of Quaid of blowing it against the aliens in the second act because I've seen that ty movie one time and thankfully have forgotten lots of it.
This would be the most conceivable and best outright free agent signing by the Spurs away from another team. Otherwise we're looking at trying to Bogart into a three team deal with the cap space.
Spurs targeting Kirilenko?

San Antonio is reportedly a team to watch out for in the Andrei Kirilenko sweepstakes.
ESPN's Marc Stein reports this afternoon that the Spurs are one of the teams that could make it tough for Minnesota to bring back their key veteran, who opted out of the final year of his deal last Friday.
"I'm told (the) Spurs have AK-47 in their sights," Stein tweets.
If the Spurs are able to land Kirilenko, one has to believe that it could -- let us emphasize the word "could" -- mean the end for Manu Ginobili in San Antonio. San Antonio would be able to start Kirlenko and use Danny Green in Ginobili's role as instant offense off the bench.
what?? lol this fool re ed??
WTF? I can't believe this .
I don't think a Kirilenko signing has anything to do with Ginobili's future in San Antonio. I'd be wary of a Monta Ellis signing though
ellis>>>>>>>>manu
Yes, re ed
True, though an Ellis signing might also mean that Manu is willing to graduate to a Gary Neal role with more limited minutes.
Offense here from what I've seen in their most recent games is crap, but his long arms are still valuable on the perimeter.
holy thank you!
For that production, I wouldn't think 3 years $25 million with a partially guaranteed year 3. Keeping this from becoming a bad deal. With the Spurs being able to cut him while being responsible for half or 1/3 of his remaining money owed.He can play two positions, can defend and is provides production across the board. A bench player, would be an excellent backup to Kawhi and Duncan. Have Diaw (if he stays) play center behind Gortat.Yep. He declined a $10 million option with Minny though... how much is he looking to get paid?
Also, let's not forget this is not the AK47 from 2004.. This is 32 year old Kirlilenko who has injury problems. Still a solid role player off the bench, especially in the right situation, but I definitely don't hink this would suddenly "put us over the top." A lot comes down to asking $$. Would be a solid pickup at a reasonable price though.
Random, but just saw Baynes and Kirilenko have the same agent.
Here is an interesting interview with him on 2013 free agency, translated from Russian:

He is looking for more years primarily.
AK47 in their sights! Which means a bad sight with the way the AK47 shoots!!!!!!!!!! Which means the commie will not be here, M16 lol.....
BTW I always wanted him here a while back, but now for not the right price, no!!!!!!!!!!!
3 years isn't terrible, and he'd be a heck of a trade asset that 3rd year if push comes to shove

The Wolves have yet to check on forward Andrei Kirilenko, who turned down a guaranteed $10.2 million from the Wolves for 2013-14 in order to opt out of his contract. It's looking more and more likely that the Wolves are fine with seeing Kirilenko walk away after one season with the team.
It's a double good news for Spurs.
First, Kirilenko was reported to have liked playing with Minny and they would have been a serious candidate to re-sign him.
Second, it opens S&T possibilities that could help both Spurs and Wolves. Even if Spurs don't send salary back to Minny, a S&T, because of roster cap holds, will open $0.6M more in cap space than Spurs just signing the player. FO Minny, they would get a TE that could be used in another S&T.
If Spurs really want Kirilenko, I'm quite convinced they can get him and keep Tiago and Manu.
Good news.
Sign Kirilenko. I don't care it would be Gortat or Splitter.
I had him on my fantasy basketball team before. I think he can be a good fit, but I still want David West over him.
1. David West
2. Tiago Splitter
3. AK47
Does this guy have any offense at all? For years I've been thinking we need a consistent third option. It's been Tony, then Tim, and then who? Leonard is still young and inconsistent. We need someone seasoned. This is where Ellis sort of makes sense. Chucker, yup, but there might be a way to fix that. Guy can get to the rim with ease.
not hating on AK, but 30% from 3 and just 47% from the field? Doesn't shoot the three well and can't even shoot more than 50% assuming he plays as a four for SAS.
I'd very much prefer someone with knowledge of advanced stats (PER, TS%, etc) to assess which of them is a better fit.
I still have issues with Danny's inconsistency too. Wouldn't mind flipping him for Re .
Spurs are already a top offensive team, they need someone who can defend Wade when he's going off and Leonard's on LeBron, or vice versa. Having two defenders like Leonard and Kirilenko on the team would seriously boost our perimeter defense which was imo lacking against Miami
His offense may blossom in SA's system. Also, he would take Diaw's spot in the rotation. He's a better scorer than Diaw. Though I like what Diaw brings in post defense and passing. No doubt, though, Kirilinko has an all around game.
