    And with a S&T like:
    Spurs get Kirilenko for De Colo + cash
    Minny get a TE for Kirilenko
    Third Team (like Utah) get De Colo + cash for nothing

    Spurs will be able to offer Kirilenko a starting salary of $7.6M.

    if they are dipping into the MLE it also probably means they've spoken with kirilenko/ellis and they aren't willing to settle for even the full MLE.

    You know what?! I hope so!!
    I like Neal...
    Agreed. For a couple of reasons:

    A) Neal is a good guy and was a great Spur. I'd love to see him make some serious cash on someone else's dime and time.
    B) That's money that WON'T be spent competing with the Spurs

    Actually it kind of does. He basically kept us afloat through that first half. Danny Green didn't start drilling shots until late in the game when the score was starting to get bloated.

    Yep, include some second round picks in this trade but you get the idea.

    Bruno,

    If the Spurs traded away de Colo, would they then have the LLE to play with again?

    You'd think selfish Manu would have given the Spurs a discount considering:

    -he was way overpaid the last two seasons
    -he selfishly played for Argentina despite his age and fragile condition
    -spent a good portion of the season injured and another portion recovering from injury
    -sucked anytime he was on the court
    -was the primary reason they lost the le this year
    The Spurs are still making up for underpaying Manu with his first extension.

    No, they won't. You can't use the LLE 2 years in a row even if the LLE player has been traded or waived.

    Good signing. Marco is a terrific shooter and there's no way he could be as bad of a defender as Neal. I trust this signing ensures the end of the ill-fated Neal as backup PG experiment. Hopefully, the Spurs are still in position to make a run at a backup SF, like AK47.

    He had a good game, but it's a stretch to call him an NBA Finals Hero for one good game in a losing series...

    Though I would agree that he played heroball as much as he could. Not really the same thing as being a hero.

    Not necessarily, it can be just a classic signing through cap space.

    If Spurs amnesty Bonner and renounce to Neal/Blair/McGrady, they will have $6M in cap space too offer at Kirilenko. It doesn't seem enough but Kirilenko could agree at taking a paycut and Spurs could do little moves, like salary dumping Mills and/or De Colo, to open a little more cap space.
    Thanks. It just seems surprising that the Spurs amnesty Bonner after having the chance to waive him for less; then again, it could be a nice parting gift for a guy they really like as a person, etc.

    I guess this shows that Free Agency is such a moving target, and we as fans assume that players are available in a vacuum at any given time. For example, it's possible that AK47 rebuffed the Spurs' original overtures, is waiting to see what the market yields after some of the bigger names are signed, and then will reassess his asking price. Might be that he's gettable at 16M-18M/3yrs after all.

    I've seen some posters here classify Beli as a decent defender..he really isn't, tbh..he's a terrible defensive player, but as I said earlier, better than Neal(it's virtually impossible to be worse than Neal on defense, though)..

    Just to keep things straight, the above scenario assumes:

    Bonner amnesty
    Blair/Neal renounced and gone
    De Colo included in the trade (his salary)
    Tiago's being signed last so his cap hold is the calculated in the cap room
    Manu being a normal contract where YR2 is higher than YR1.

    All that equals 7.6M

    Is Belinelli the guy who looks like "The Professional" starring Natalie Portman?

    My dude HH telling the truth. People seem to be implying better than = good. He's not a good defender although he is better than Neal.

    Belinelly signed with the room exception, spurs amnestying Bonner and adding a player like Kirilenko is just a possible scenario.

    Another possible scenario that is way less optimistic is Belinelli being signed with a part of the MLE. Spurs will then sign a cheap forward like Casspi with the rest of their MLE and call it an offseason...
