I fell better about Marco just for the fact that Manu injuries are starting to catch up to him so we needed insurance.
OK I get it now. So whatever the spurs receive in return for Neal is what they are limited to using on another player.

Jarrett Jack would be nice.Who else falls in that 5-7 milliion range besides him?
I think your on to something, but i think the bigger need is a backup pg with Marco and Manu. I would think Jarret Jack or Monta Ellis before AK47. Although no interest has been reported on Jack, Monta there has. Gary to Milwaukee in a sign and trade with others could work. Don't see them dealing with Golden State.
Who knows with Jack though it could just happen like Marco and Jeff. After what happened with Golden State and that abandonment a nice family organization might work for him.Years might be the problem though with the FO's desire for 2 year deals.
Yes. Most of what you may ever want to know about TEs can be found here:

Never heard of this guy
And there's no reason it would have to be Kirilenko. Spurs can take back up to $8M salary just for Bonner and DeColo, both of which are expiring contracts. So really, it could be any SF we like. Pendergraph guarantees that we can afford to lose Bonner, and we now have a ridiculous 7 guards on the roster, which is a bizarre way to go into the season.
And if we were willing to put Danny on the trade block, we could take back up to $12M in salary, which opens up a ton of options, and might be an appealing packing for a team that needed shooting.
Nope, FO would never give up Danny Green when we have him at half the price that Kyle Korver, Kevin Martin, and JJ Re are earning. FO would have to be morons to even think about trading Danny Green, unless it were for a franchise player like Durant or LBJ.
No to Kirilenko. His defense isn't good and that seems to e huge sticking point with many posters and he's injury prone. The guys missed atleat 15 games in each of his last three seasons. He also doesn't rebound or block shots.
This guy has a history of knees problems.
It might be impossible to tell for sure Bruno, but when timvp alluded to the fact that he got more than the minimum, on a multi-year deal, coming off an ACL injury and having not yet proved himself in the league . . . well, suffice it to say, that doesn't bode well for this being for the minimum either.
If not Kirilenko, they should sign Wesley Johnson. Knowing them though, it'll probably be Gelabale, Ingles, etc.
I'm surprised the Pacers let Pendergraph go, because I remember Vogel raving about how he was their second best mid range shooting big man (after West) late in the season and at that point, he was neck and neck with Mahinmi for backup center minutes. With Hansbrough gone, even if they view Copeland as their backup power forward, it doesn't make sense to not re-sign him for insurance purposes . . . which is all the more reason to think this wasn't for the minimum.
Their window for winning les is two more years, so it makes sense to try upgrades, even if they strain the cap. If, say, Portland were willing to part with Batum, it could be worth making the trade. Batum is an upgrade to Green, he can play the 2 in the starting lineup, and he's a completely legit 3 if we want to play smallball -- slide Kawhi over to the 4, start Manu, and you have a really nice smallball squad.
Sure, lets trade Danny Green so that we can acquire Kirilenko. Then we can insert 36 yr old Manu into the starting lineup or Marco B who's an even worst defender than Green. Or we can start Kirilenko at PF and move 38 yr old Duncan to the Center position. I love it!

Yeah he made what 1.5 boy Ihope spurs didn't split mle with him N belli
The defense? Don't forget that playing Tiago Splitter alongside Tim Duncan is what got us to the NBA finals. Playing small ball would be playing into the hands of GSW, OKC, or the Heat. Playing small ball is what allowed the Heat to win it all even though we were only 28 seconds away from winning it too. The Heat imposed their will on us.
There's plenty of people who criticize the Spurs that I don't call a troll.
You just don't happen to be one of them.
Oh ok. Wow, you just hurt my feelings. I'm gonna get depressed now.
Right, but the base lineup with Batum at the 2 doesn't hurt the defense, and should help the offense. And we play smallball at times to match up with other teams anyway -- so if we're going to play it anyway, we might as well be as good as possible at it.
And now the E-N wants people to pay for McDonald's writings.Typical McDonald
I hope Brandan Wright isn't signed elsewhere for an equal amount. Shouldn't happen, but you never know.
Regarding Pendergraph potential contract, it's noteworthy that Pacers didn't extend a $1,875,000 qualifying offer to make him a restricted free agent. They didn't think he was worth that much.
That's great news. Let's hope the spurs think the same..
I like this signing if it's for cheap, Spurs could use an athletic guy like him. He plays solid defense and he's an amazing athlete. He definitely has a lot of work to do, but no doubt the Spurs will make him a much better player. I watched this guy play in person alongside James Harden at Arizona State when they played at Oregon, he works well with the pick and roll and the guy runs the floor incredibly fast! He will help the fast tempo offense a lot. Good pickup.
Huh? How is it risky to play a young star player big minutes?
I guess i'm pretty glued with Pop's system as well. I think playing a player less minutes decreases the chances of injury...
