Damn, those tweets give me hope. Obviously, the Spurs are still trying to keep the AK47 hopes alive. We should know soon if they're able to get in on this multi-team sign-and-trade deal.
He also suffers of severe mental illness.

We need to get Atlanta on the phone and have them help us out. sweeten the pot or something![]()
this is the gamble i think Nono was referring to, per the other AK thread

So the gamble is losing Bonner and Mills. Even if we were to clear the cap space and lose out of the AK sweepstakes. We could still have gotten Belinelli. Still have gotten Pendergraph. Just no Bonner or Mills. Well we still have MLE money to replace that with other FA signing.
The risk revolved around Matt Bonner. Lol
Yep, plus the fact that while we might despise Bonner, the team obviously values him to the point they rather have him be part of the team if they can't make a deal.
probably/maybe, but it's not a fact. there's rumor that backs your point. However, if the Spurs did sign Bellineli & Pendergrass to MLE - then that would serve as evidence to the contrary that they never got very far with AK47. it's not implausible that AK's agent just floated this rumor to spur interest from other teams who consider Spurs front office to be one of the smartest in the game. i certainly HOPE that there's more to it than that - but we don't know anything yet.
there's two components to this, obviously, agreeing to a deal with kirilenko and agreeing to a deal with minnesota - how far the Spurs have gotten with either has not been established.

I'll tell you what I told Manny in that other thread: If you don't know how much the Spurs value Matty, then you haven't been paying attention (and I agree with you about Bonner)
when's the last time that praying-dog.jpg worked for anybody?
3. Andrei Kirilenko
Memo to other teams: the Spurs tried to land Andrei Kirilenko in a sign-and-trade. You may want to make an effort to pick him up. He was a borderline All-Star pick last season in the West before injuries set in. And, sure, that's a concern. He's 31. He's played a ton of international minutes in addition to NBA minutes. But he has a huge impact on the floor, particularly on defense, and is one of the league's more versatile players. Chances are, you can sneak in a two-year deal.

I agree, this is the crux of the situation, Bonner, not Manu, IMHO.
I've wondered in the past if Matty was also going to get a loyalty deal for sealing that new CBA as part of the union, tbh...
Honestly we should close this thread until something actually happens.It could be zillion pages of nothing.
then quit posting in here and start your own forum
ALL! ST trade/GM threads are already futile "zillion pages of nothing"![]()
I agree. And the Manu is good, Manu is bad, pissing contests get us no where!![]()
Ducks with the goods,![]()

Yea, that's not how we do things around here. If we can't mindlessly obsess over a potential move that may or may not ever actually occur, then whats the point of this forum at all?
In time, you'll see.
No, they'd just have his Non-Bird Rights. You don't get credit for Bird years accrued on previous contracts, which is why Diaw and Mills have de-facto no-trade clauses this season.
I'll pass on your advice.
