Kirlenko Probably Gone From Nets. Should we look at him?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

jfc! haven't they tanked enough?

[Malik Hairston]

I was completely against signing Granger and Butler, we had an abundance of arguments here about it, with some even claiming Granger would replace Leonard and/or Green in the rotation..NBA fans are enamored with names more than any other sport, tbh..

In this case, I don't mind trying him out, because unlike Granger and Butler, his style of play would fit with the Spurs..he's unselfish(even to a fault), I don't think he would expect a big role(unlike the other 2), and there's nothing to lose..his passing ability + body could be a nice fit for a team that could use a backup SF..it's worth taking a flier on him IMO..

Daye is having a horrific season, so far..he has a negative PER and he's shooting 19%() from 3..this was his best opportunity, as Marco has been out, and Kawhi missed time, as well..he's 26 years, old, too, his future is probably in Europe, at this point..

[Chomag]

For a right price It wouldn't hurt to have him as this year Tmac roll.

[RD2191]

Scrub had his chance. that guy.

[FlAVaK]

yahoo: Andrei Kirilenko has left the Brooklyn Nets, and he may not be coming back

[cd98]

We should absolutely sign this guy. He would fit well in our system and is certainly better than Anderson or Daye.

[ElNono]

The thing is, Daye is a very end of the bench guy, regular season minute burner, who is getting extra minutes now largely because we're missing guys. It goes without saying he likely won't see the floor in the playoffs, and he'll see spot minutes during the season. I seriously doubt AK47 would be interested in such a role, tbh.

[cd98]

Hey everybody...remember how bad Diaw was when he was in a bad situation, and after he signed with the Spurs, remember how good he was. AK was doing fine in Minnesota two years ago. That Nets team is awful and full of selfish players. He'd do great in the Spurs system.

Which is what every needs to remember when he chooses a team like the Clippers that can immediately plug him into the rotation, if not the starting line-up.

I agree with your assessment of Daye, but I do think AK could earn minutes in the playoffs. Unlike Daye, AK can actually dribble, pass, defend, and sometimes shoot. Daye is a three point shooter, and a mediocre one at that. Sure he won't get tons of minutes, but he'd have a role on a contending team. For guys like him, that usually suffices. When you are on the Nets, a team going no where, with a bunch of bollhogs, and you don't get minutes, then that's when you complain.

Do the Clippers even have cap space? Spurs just need to point out all that playing time Granger got with the Clippers.

[RD2191]

In before 10 pages and meltdown when the Spurs don't sign him.

Vet minimum. And Granger was immediately inserted in the Clipper rotation and stayed there until he injured a hamstring.

[BanditHiro]

lol at everybody being so ing bitter he jilted the Spurs that they would rather stomach more Ayers and Daye instead of giving Kirlenko a shot.

[Johnsyounger]

He can pass and play D. If we get him cheap why not?

[Budkin]

He blew it. him and his Russian connections.

[PingPong]

A russian player playing for a russian owned team. Not the best deal, tbh. Those who follows the soccer News know the russians are hard to deal with. Even worse if they are your bosses. But AK has another issues. He voiced against Messina's departure to the Spurs.

50/50 tbh. Can Pop get something out of him? There comes a time however when guys like AK47 and Matrix are past the being the players we once admired.

[jyra]

I have always loved AK's game, really an underrated passer. Also having someone else outside of Kawhi being able to guard bigger wings would be quite nice.

[100%duncan]

Hows his shooting? Its very important thay you can shoot in this system

[Mugen]

WTF? Did people really say they'd rather have Daye over AK?

Daye is a D-League player that has no business being on this roster. I'd take a washed up Kirilenko over Daye no question. No f'n question tbh.

[spursparker9]

Problem is Spurs don't have any extra mins for him.

He will continue to sulk and eventually be a cancer to the rest of the team.

While you're absolutely right about the minutes, if he signed here he would know that in advance. So, he'd be accepting that situation by choosing the Spurs. That's also why I don't think he'd choose the Spurs.

[Cklbmk]

who was it that was so pissed that we signed Belli and it "ruined" our chances for AK47? Too lazy to dig it up, but that's some historic failure given what's transpired the past 18 months

might have been me.. I know that was my train of thought
