Why would OKC enable Kirilenko to SA?
Still waiting for a report not from McDonald that Pendergraph was signed for 2 years, $4MM.
I doubt they'd amnesty Perkins with the goal of acquiring ridnour, especially with Jackson's emergence

Speaking of ways to improve your compe ors...
Perk's overpaid, his game doesn't really fit with the rest of their strengths, and there's really no justification for Brooks playing him 25-30 mpg. But, among his few assets, he's traditionally guarded Duncan and Howard well in the post. , he was Howard's personal kryptonite when Dwight was at the top of his game.
Amnestying him would leave OKC to roll with Thabeet, Orton, & Adams as their only legit 5s. Among all their 4/5s, outside of Perk, I would only deem Collison as an above average post defender.
Perkins is pretty bad, but the guys that would play instead of him are very bad.
Because we're about to activate presti's mind control device from his spurs days
Do what you need to in order to improve your own team. OKC did beat us in the last series and finished ahead in the regular season - how much Presti views the Spurs (led by an aging big 3) as a short & long term threat to his own squad - when healthy - is up for debate.
On top of that, he knows that they're a step behind Miami right now - and that was true even before he unloaded Harden. If you have a chance to make your own team better in the short/long term, may not be willing to worry about what it does for the compe ion.
uh, yeah..tbh.
A 2-yr league min deal for Pendergraph would be $2,011,291. We certainly shouldn't put it past McDonald to get confused about $2 mil total vs. $2 mil per year.
I think if we got Kirilenko then we would, or insiders would, have heard something by now!
SAM OWES POP AND RC
Maybe so, but the fact that Minnesota and San Antonio haven't officially signed guys they've already agreed to terms with yet is a pretty strong indicator that they're at least talking about something.
they forfeited harden because of money not because of cap.
martin no press conf yet either
It's still in process hopefully.
Isn't it possible, as the deals are not done, for the terms and dollars of contracts (Manu, Bellineli, Pendergraph) to change from what was originally reported by third party reporters to what will be necessary to sign a guy like Kirilenko? McDonald may be partially true on the Pandergraph contract, but it may not represent the entire deal offered to him (change in years or a few hundred thousand less); same being true on Manu's contract?
Spurs are very secretive. We didn't hear anything about the Spurs contacting Belinelli or Pendegraph until they agreed to terms with the Spurs. Here the Spurs were trying to work a sign and trade for awhile to get AK and all we heard is that the Spurs might want to sign him outright.
With the Spurs, you more than likely aren't going to hear about it until its official.
Spurs will ask Tony and Tim to take a much bigger pay cut in order to offer Bonner a new contract next year.
I wonder if Gary Neal and Denver have any mutual interest? That might be a way for the Spurs to work their way into a SA-Minny-Denver-OKC trade. Spurs would need to send out a little over $5 mil in salary to make an above cap trade for AK at a $8 mil salary. I doubt Denver has any interest in Bonner. Mills, Decolo & Neal S&T'd at a $3mil salary would be enough.
Martin, Brewer & Decolo to Minny
Ridnour to OKC
Mills & Neal to Denver
AK to SA
It worked well for them last year with Kmart.
Yeah, you usually dont hear about a signing before it happens with SAS. Hearing about it before it happens usually means it wont happen with us.
Didnt hear about pendergraph, marco, rj, kurt thomas, kawai, etc until it actually happened.
If Decolo were going somewhere, I doubt he would be playing in the summer league for the Spurs, same goes for Joseph.
Players have been told boarding team planes to away games that they've been traded. lol How old are you that you honestly think them being on the summer league teams means they can't or won't be traded?
Not sure why
Has Bonner become expendable now that the Lakers don't have the twin towers? He used to have value drawing out a big to the three point line while still being able to body the big on defense. Now can't we just get a guy like Korver to play the 4 spot? He still spreads the floor and his defense assignment is most likely around his same size and skill set.
What does my age have to do with anything, seriously? I've been going to Spur games since they were the Chaps. What about you?
Yes, I know that has happened before specifically Berry, but that has been the exception, not the rule and generally that player doesn't play before the trade.
