Presti: Okay fine. We reject it. Now go renounce AK so that you have cap space to sign Martin.
Unfortunately for the Spurs, Minnesota doesn't have any leverage with OKC here.
THIS X10000. Aren't you guys tired of getting basketball geriatrics every year to an already old team? Sure, he still has alot left in the tank and would help us a good deal but we shouldn't be all stressed out over this happening or not.All this over AK at age 32. If he get signed at a REASONABLE price great, if not no big deal..Damn, its funny how AK is ok 8+ mil but Tiago and Manu are overpaid. Everybody needs to take a step back and catch your breath.
I am not stressed I am not in the spurs front office right now
I hope Green wouldn't be. But you have to have something in the deal besides the players everyone usually wants to get rid of like Bonner/Mills/DeCoco. Unless Flip is Isiah Thomas stupid.
no kl,duncan or parker
any one else to get the deal done ok
I guess if OC doesn't want the TE then sure. I know they won't use it fully because they're so close to the tax, but it could be used to take back a slightly more expensive player than they otherwise could.
Not tired at all about guys like Diaw and Kirilenko... Boris is older than Tiago and he took a huge dump on him once again in the POs. Age isn't everything, there s a huge gap between guys around 30 who can contribute big time and complete tosb throwing the ball in the crowd like Manu who got a contract to sell jerseys and tickets.
I'm sure they want the TE, but if giving up the TE keeps AK off the Spurs, then they're going to be okay without it.
I tend to agree, though, Ak would be productive In SA. 9m a year productive? idk. AK or no AK, he probably isn't worth all this fuss tbh. fans are just anxious for the spurs to make some sort of splash.All this over AK at age 32. If he get signed at a REASONABLE price great, if not no big deal..Damn, its funny how AK is ok 8+ mil but Tiago and Manu are overpaid. Everybody needs to take a step back and catch your breath.
the fans want this because the big 3 era is officially coming to a close, with all their contracts set to expire after 2014-2015. the franchise owes it to them to put them in the best possible position to succeed until that time
There isn't a thing the Spurs front office could or could not do that would be any more disappointing than the ending of Game 6. Not gonna phase me if we don't get AK.
He'd be worth every cent in the PO. Tiago is not worth it but AK is, there's no lineup that would force him out of a series, very high BBiQ, great defender, tough... Just like Boris he'd be awesome on this team.
He just came off his most efficient season scoring the ball btw.
who will report the ak47 deal first?
the Spurs at their press conference
If it's there, fine. If not, I'd be ok with just the Marco signing and wait to see how Kawhi steps up his game and hope we can pull off a trade by the trade deadline...maybe by then, there will be more useful players available?
What makes you say this? Do you realize that AK has never made an entire NBA season(minus shortened season) in his entire career? Do you realize his career numbers in playoffs are 10 ppg, 4rpg, in 30 mpg. I hate throwing numbers out there but damn what else do we have to go on? I like AK's defense and hustle also, but for his asking salary I say no way.
ak47 is the most usefully player that can be had
Point taken. But would they forego the TE even though AK to the Spurs isn't assured if they do take it? A fascinating game of chicken indeed. If this wheeling and dealing really is playing out this way, I really hope Woj or someone else well-connected writes an in-depth piece before training camp.
he would be ok with pop with limiting his minutes
he is NO WORSE THEN MANU
he never was one a really good team in postseason
he is not going to be the first three option number 4 and 5 he will be fine
he also can create for others something spurs need
Idk man, I can't think of a time where AK was on a team that made a deep playoff run or where he was a factor in a playoff series at all, so I'm not sure I can take THAT optimistic of a view. I'll give you the tough part.
jazz teams sucked
good enough to make the playoffs but that was it and not good enough to beat kobe and the lakers
aren't the cavs currently pursuing kirilenko (as a backup to bynum) ?
WTF happened in between the 23 pages of this thread that it started with the Spurs talks for AK ended to there being optimism that the Spurs are going to do a S&T with Minny for him? Serious question.
I think mostly the fact that the Spurs have yet to announce any signings, and that Minnesota might not have to renounce AK47 to get Brewer and Martin (as cap flexibility was one of the reasons stated that Minny didn't want to do it).
well the whole le was misleading. there really has never been any definitive statement from any of the teams involved and whenever there is speculation there is also doubt and/or hope.
