Do we have enough $$ to get AK47, a swing SG/SF like Korver, and still re-sign Manu? This assumes Neal is gone btw.
What could hint that Spurs are backing away from Kirilenko is Woj saying that Spurs are looking to re-sign both Ginobili and Neal. If both are kept, it will make it harder to get Kirilenko financially and makes it more complicate regarding playing time (Manu would end up playing the backup SF minutes).
Thanks. I wonder if there's an example of a team being able to wait around using the cap hold number after new contract details were already reported. I guess we might find out ... if it comes down to that.
Anyways, it probably won't matter if the Spurs can firm up a deal with Ginobili and then try to get another free agent agreement (prayingdog.jpg @ AK47) before the moratorium ends. Then on the first day, they can re-sign Ginobili, sign the FA and then sign Splitter within a few hours so that the timing shouldn't be much of a factor.
If Korver was willing to take as little from the Spurs as he's going to take from the Nets, and Manu takes a significant pay cut, yes. However, Korver is most likely going to the Nets, and there's no telling whether or not Manu would balk at a low salary.
Stupid.
If the Spurs do indeed resign Manu and Neal would they still have the MLE contract to hand out? 4 yr 22 mil?
I doubt it. I know Korver is rumored to the Nets for only 3M+...but that sounds like Mikhail Prokhorov paying him 3M in the same way that Minny paid Joe Smith.
At market prices, probably only room for AK + filler (not that filler can't be solid, i.e. rookie Gary Neal).
Yes, they would.
Not if they amnesty Bonner.
What I said or Spurs re-signing Neal?
Yeah that had me worried as well but Woj and Yahoo haven't really talked about Kirilenko all together, just Stein, ESPN and their "sources".
Which begs the question, why not just renounce him since he'll either sign here or retire? It's not like the Spurs can exceed the cap to get him, right?
Thats like asking pop to remove his only good kidney.
I think we can all agree that the idea of resigning Neal is pretty stupid.
If Neal/Bonner get in the way of the Spurs signing Kirilenko.........
If Neal/Bonner get in the way of the Spurs signing Kirilenko.........
7 years later and bonner is STILL the thorn in the side.
No .If Neal/Bonner get in the way of the Spurs signing Kirilenko.........
The Spurs are delusional if they think they can just bring back the same team.
Really wont surprise me. The Spurs brought back the exact same team when they were two wins away from the Finals. Imagine what they would do being one win away from the le.No .
The Spurs are delusional if they think they can just bring back the same team.
true tbh this is why I kinda want the Spurs to go after Ellis. People are talking mad about him but replacing Neal with Ellis and giving him 30 minutes a night and reducing Manu to around 20 would be ing perfect, dude would be a monster as a 6th man, he was a beast in GS when they had Baron, Jack, and Richardson. And he can't POSSIBLY, like literally it's not even possible, be a worse defender than Gary Neal
It is F IN RIDICULOUS that in 2013 we are still talking about MATT BONNERIf Neal/Bonner get in the way of the Spurs signing Kirilenko.........
I have had it, damn meltdown man lol. First we lose the finals and now this crap! What an offseason!
Ellis is going to be too expensive. You can get Jarrett Jack for $7m/year. And he can play defense.
we aint getting anybody. They'll sign Manu and Neal and that'll be it. This is what happens when you get your hopes high on the Spurs free agency period.
Maybe. Or maybe Kirilenko is looking for way too much money, etc.
Why not a sign and trade for AK with Dejuan Blair going to Minny?
