Milsap or Ak47 landing in SA would be dream scenarios at this point
And I thought TP and AK47 were good pals. Won't TP try to influence him to come here?

pipe dream.
At this point why would anyone significant come to SA? There are no more minutes in the rotation for all these guys.
Maybe he want a bigger contract which Spurs could not offer.
Maybe he don't want to play a lot at PF.
Maybe he want to be a starter.
Maybe Spurs not want him that much.
I don't know whether Kirilenko would come or not. But I do believe De Colo might leave.
AK and Millsap have been my 2 choices since the beginning, and the Spurs should be all over them, tbh..
They both fit the need of small ball PF and would put the Spurs a level above the rest of the West IMO..
Both are long shots tbh.
Get over it. Manu killed any hopes of us acquiring an impact FA. The offseason for the Spurs is pretty much over. Any changes that the FO wants to make can be done via trades unless we're lucky enough to sign a FA for the veteran's minimum such as Greg Oden or Chauncy Billups.
If the Spurs are serious about either one they can make proper roster moves to offer either a very nice contract that IMO could and would lure one of them down here tbh.
It becomes a longshot because the Spurs likely aren't as interested as we are.
We have a winner!
Don't necessarily agree with that. We have seen numerous times, even when the Spurs have equal or greater money, that FA's are not interested in playing in SA.
wtf will ak47 give you? it's like he's this missing link SA has always needed. for his career his ave are no better than manu. manu had a crappy year but ak47 wouldn't give you anything more.
Mercenaries like Manu and Tiago yes but great guys like Beli and Boris took pay cuts to play here.
Dig deeper, pull from a bigger list of track records.
I remember plenty of guys who took more money to play elsewhere and a few who took equal money, but I don't recall any who took less money than they could have gotten from the Spurs.
AK is friend with TP like Boris so the track record of players signed by TP is just Boris.
Really meant max money, maybe not greater (as in Kidd).
Mel, why would the Spurs not be interested in either AK or Milsap assuming they weren't asking for big money?
They're both no-brainer FA targets tbh.
Kidd was my first thought as well. Spurs offered max possible, but Jersey offered the extra year and bigger raises. (back then a S&T probably would have happened and he would have gotten equal money from the Spurs).
There really haven't been any other cases over the last 10 years. The Spurs haven't offered anyone big money since 2003.
You have problems. Every post you make is a pot shot at Manu. You are pathetic.
Another thing people have to consider is do we even have the roster spots to sign these guys? Do you really think AK47 wants to be a backup? I doubt it, tbh...
But the overall point remains: even if the Spurs have equal money, we have seen FA's go elsewhere often enough. I do not think that no AK/Millsap means no Spurs interest. I think it's more likely they didn't have enough money.
I'm assuming that they are. It's very possible that the Spurs went into this offseason with a plan to use the MLE for FAs, and no intention of taking the steps necessary to create significant cap space. Under that scenario, they would have contacted a player like AK47 to determine if he had any interest in the MLE (due diligence and all that). Once he gave the predictable answer, they moved on.
You just went from numerous to often enough.
Not semantics.
The point I was trying to make was: no interest at the required price point.
If you had a choice who'd you take Milsap or AK47??
