Scola thread.
There was that big thread after we traded Paul George. Does that count?
Scola thread.
At this point, I'd be happy to see the Spurs just sign a serviceable back-up SF.
Most likely. In the big 3 era, there hasn't been any real drooling over anyone. We haven't had the need.
On the other hand, there have been far more long threads that have wanted to get rid of a Spur.... Red Rocket, HWMNBN, Blair, Pop, etc...
This site may not have been up yet, but Chris Webber in 2001 spun off a lot of pages.
And Jason Kidd in 2003.
Pendergraph playing spot minutes would probably be the best we could do at this point. Who is still avail? If anyone is avail, it'd be someone none of us had thought about.
Keep believing...
I suppose you're right, also, I suppose Belinelli could eat 4 of those 8 minutes at SF, and maybe Green or Manu eat 2 each.
Something tells me they'll sign someone out of blue, like you said. Either that or they'll see someone they like in the SL, doesn't have to be someone on our team.

The Wolves cleared enough salary-cap space for Brewer’s three-year, $15 million contract by reaching agreement on a sign-and-trade with Oklahoma City for free-agent signee Kevin Martin and by sending Ridnour and his $4.3 million salary back to the Bucks without accepting any salaries in return.
Both trades are contingent on Brewer and Ridnour passing physical exams as soon as Thursday.If this article is accurate, Minny will renounce to Kirilenko Bird rights today and then making a possible S&T officially impossible.Kirilenko opted out of a $10.2 million option for this season two days after last month’s draft and became an unrestricted free agent in search of a three- or four-year contract, which, at age 32, would be the last big one of his long career.
The Wolves declined overtures from San Antonio for a sign-and-trade deal that would have cleared enough money on the Spurs payroll to sign Kirilenko to a multiyear deal worth $8 million or more a year.
The Wolves approached Kirilenko and his agent on Tuesday about returning to the team at a reduced salary from last season’s. When they refused to consider such an offer, one of the two league sources said, the Wolves turned their attention toward acquiring Brewer.
I do hope that Spurs have as plan B to sign Kirilenko with some cap space and haven't screw that for Jeff Pendergraph.
I'm not the biggest T-Mac supporter, but right now I'm all for him tutoring KL, playing 10-12 minutes per game and beeing kind of an injury ensurance at the wing.
Bring him back!
I'm sure they have screwed it up. I'm not surprised at all that they would choose to get a guy who is going to have 50+ DNP-CDs over the opporunity for a player who Pop could count on to be in a 8-man rotation against the Heat.
And Bonner.
We're going to see if AK47 is really interested in a ring over just $. Simple as that.
option is come to Spurs and have a red hot crack at the big dance or go somewhere and do the same old same old.
You'd have to assume that we're just not getting him. What would be the supporting arguments for hope to remain? McDonald reported Jeff's contract incorrectly? The reason the signings have not been announced is they're still trying to manoeuvre this? Feels like we're reaching a little bit if that's the case...
There is a difference between hopping and expecting. I for sure agree with you that the most likely by far is Spurs not being able to sign Kirilenko.
My main reason to have some hope is that I don't think Spurs FO is stupid enough to blow their cap space as soon as July 6th on a player as marginal as Pendergraph. It would just be crazy.
yeah it doesnt make sense to blow an opportunity to sign a kirilenko just so they could secure pendergraph who's prolly not even gonna crack the rotation any time soon
Agree with the first part.
Disagree on the second. I do think they are stupid enough, and crazy enough. Hope I'm wrong . . . but don't expect I'm wrong.
i don't get how anyone thinks T Mac has anything left. Don't waste a roster spot on a guy that's done. If you want him to mentor KL, add him to the coaching staff.
Based off what?
1) AK47 is coming off a season with ~20 DNPs. I wanted him, but it's not like he's an example of rock solid health.I'm sure they have screwed it up. I'm not surprised at all that they would choose to get a guy who is going to have 50+ DNP-CDs over the opporunity for a player who Pop could count on to be in a 8-man rotation against the Heat.
And Bonner.
2) In all of this, we still have no idea how much AK wants to be here and how much he wants to play here.
Based off the fact the he's been in the league longer than Duncan, plays a wing position that demands athleticism on defense, and has knee issues in his medical history.
I'm hoping the Spurs are calling Saunders bluff...and Flip blinks.
Which is why it's nice to have a rich owner...and not a bunch of small towners. A rich owner who had stayed away from a great front office braintrust would have brought another 2-3 les...or more. We'd be talked about with the Flakers, Bulls and Celtics. But five years from now when fans can't afford ticket prices and the team is headed to some other city that can be suckered into subsidizing an above average team but no longer a le contender, SA fans will have to get used to the fact that 1999-2007 were the glory years.
Stats show ever declining numbers - PER dipped to 13.6 in his last (semi) full season. And that would have been worse still if he hadn't shot a (almost certainly unrepeatable) career high from 3 - 45%.
Eye test says there is just no more lift in his jumper and zero explosiveness in his first step remaining. It's not really time that's robbed him of his game so much as too many injuries.
Spurs are lease locked until either 2028 or 2033, after the 2008 AT&T center upgrades,depending on the original lease duration, 20 or 25 years.
Unless the ex-Pacers coach now with the Spurs, who saw JP daily at practice, convinced the Spurs that JP, with more PT, would be a great addition to the rotation.
Contracts mean nothing these days. They are easily bought out.
Money rules...and the gap between the haves and have nots grows wider.
