or with a bunch of kangaroos in Australia.
i do not understand the salary cap at all....the NFL is so much easier to follow than the NBA when it comes to this topic.
I feel we overpaid for Manu. I am not upset that we gave him the money we gave him, just wish we could have hooked him up post career with some of that cash.....saving some cap space over the next two seasons.
I love the bellinelli signing, i am ok with the tiago contract, and I am ok with neal not coming back (though i am a fan of his). I am also ok with letting blair walk (still wish pop would have given him more time against the heat), and i have a feeling we amnesty Bonner (if we are still able to).
I would be so stoked if we could add AK47 to the mix......
In addition to the Spurs, the Pistons, Bucks, Kings and Jazz, are probably the most likely suitors.
As DAF86 detailed, signing him and starting him at PF, is not without issues. But in the grand scheme of things, it's worth a shot because it would raise their ceiling (he'd obviously be especially useful against the Heat and Thunder, who Bonner is useless against) and even if it backfires, I don't see how they could be markedly worse.
If they do in fact sign him, then bringing in a minimum stretch four to replace Bonner and fill out the roster would make sense.
If he want to win he won't sign with any of those teams. And I don't believe the Spurs would bring Splitter who'll be getting 9M of the bench.
Might explain their interest in Jamison. Didn't make sense otherwise.
Of course he wants to win (who doesn't?), but he also wants as much money as he can get, which is why he came back from Russia last off season to join the perennial bottom feeder Timberwolves. Granted, if healthy, they'd have had a shot at having the right to be blown away by the Thunder or Spurs in the 1st round, but still.
Gibson is getting $8.5M to come off the bench and Anderson is getting just less than that to do the same. Re-signing Splitter was about retaining an asset. I'm not convinced Pop ever wanted to or was ever all that comfortable starting him, he was just the best option. Besides, he'd still get 20-25 mpg off the bench and in two years time, when Duncan likely retires, he'd start again.
Robz4000, it would be a non rotation spot and Jamison's not signing up for that. I suspect it would be some project who'd just be happy to be in the league and wouldn't be in a position to complain about not playing.
Then . Really don't know why they'd reach out to him. Jamison would bring nothing to this team that it doesn't already have.
Jamison would still be better than Bonner.
I'd still take Bonner over him tbh.
I don't mind Bonner being on the team, the problem is his contract. Jamison would play for the vet min. For a 37 year old 9 & 5 is pretty good.
Jamison would command more than that, even with the chance to play for a contender. Prolly around the contract Belli just got.
he played for a minimum this year, so I doubt it.
Lakers were already over the cap and were heavy favorites to come out of the West. Reason he only took it for one year. Some of the rumored offers non-contenders threw his way were about $4mil/year. While he'd definitely settle for less to play for a team like the Spurs, it wouldn't be the vet min. He might take it for the Thunder where he could be an essential bench player.
I trade booner and filler for him
I thought they were grooming Bonner for a FO job.
grooming takes time... a friend of a preist told me that
Hope we get him. Versatile player who we can play at 3 different positions. Also, gives us some athleticism and more length. We are likely to face OKC during the playoffs and a combination of Leonard and AK47 on Durant could wear him down.
If Spurs can't get Kirilenko because, for example, he isn't fine with playing most of his minutes at the PF slot, they have a possible good plan B with Millsap.
interesting. i'm a fan of Millsap, i'll be happy with either one panning out.
Pray we get him.
I have no real preference between the 2. A 3.75 is what we need, and both AK and Millsap are good players who fit the bill.
Eh...no to Milsap. Please get AK47
I'd rather think that Kirilenko would be fine with playing most of his minutes at the PF slot; for that is where he seems to be most effective these days (perhaps it is a matchup thing).
Millsap, I am sure will command a bigger remuneration somewhere. I think he is valued a lot by folks in the NBA.
Antwan Jamison is the black Matt Bonner at this point
