I want to bet right now that he plays for CSKA next season...
Maybe he goes to CSKA as they seem to have all the money. Good for us they get him and leave Lobrek to us............

Ersan Ilyasova has a five-year offer on table from Bucks. The amount is unknown.

no way it's less than 40 IMO and likely that its 60M.
The latest about Ilyasova:

It looks Spurs have zero chance of getting Ilyasova. The only way they could get him is by offering him a huge contract like $35M/4 years and giving great assets to Milwaukee. He's not worth that. Spurs would better by just signing Diaw and/or Lorbek.The Bucks have offered Ilyasova a five-year contract near $40 million, league sources said, and so far have shown no desire to partner in a sign-and-trade deal that the Nets need to acquire him.
Ilyasova, 25, has listened to overtures from other teams and is waiting to see what unfolds. He’s taking two visits to two teams with salary-cap space this week, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, sources said.
For me, one question is how much does Splitter figure in the future of the Spurs. When he's a free agent in a couple of years, will the Spurs be willing to pay him? Is he important in a post-Duncan scenario? Because there's no doubt that other teams will be willing to overpay him. I still think Ilyasova + Udoh can be more successful than Splitter + Bonner + Blair. Giving up Splitter is no easy decision, but I have to think it would make a sign and trade work.
A small observation: When a non-regular posts an idea on spurstalk, it's often responded to immediately by regulars with things like Not Possible, Won't Happen, Move on.... but then when Timvp posts the same thought, all of those guys go quiet as church mice. Timvp clearly knows his basketball and I enjoy reading his posts, but it's pretty amusing to an infrequent spurtalk visitor how obsequious and frightened so many of the posters around here are... God forbid some of you should ever disagree with him!
I've noticed that too but there are some posters like TD21 that like to disagree with LJ. But I guess it's because MOST,not all, want to hate on us Greys and think we don't have knowledge of basketball. But there are some respected "bolded" that actually respect "Greys" opinions and answer their questions.
Bucks offering Ersan Ilyasova $40 million over five years ---- Nets, Cavs, Raptors, Spurs & Euro team still in the mix

I am very surprised its only 40M. That is the same per year value of Asik.
Spurs aren't in the mix.
I'm all for dumping Bonner/Blair/Splitter in that order of preference. The key with Splitter, is he is the most attractive of those assets, so a logical thrown in if we could trade the 3.
The thought of paying Splitter a lot of money as our primary big man, once Duncan retires, just not feeling it.
I have to admit, I don't see any realistic way the Spurs can be in the mix for this guy. Nice try and certainly a player they could use.
This guy is a such a perfect fit. Sucks.
I will never count out the spurs FO, but this one certainly does not look good from happening for spurs fans...

Ersan Ilyasova is not interested to join any Euro club, a source told me.

Ersan Ilyasova will join Bucks or Nets next season, a source close to Ilyasova tells me.
well . Guess we can all move along to our second pipedream, AK47
Why was this guy considered a realistic option?
Because many thought MIL would have interest in Tiago.
The Nets are still in the mix after using their midlevel on that other Euro dude?
They have some filthy rich Eastern European owner who is more than willing to go over the tax.
S&T for Humphries. Of course, Humphries, Ilyasova, and the Bucks would all have to agree.
I'm also simply surprised that they (reportedly) used their full midlevel on a power forward they're going to use as a backup.
I don't think anyone said it was a "realistic option." Everyone seemed to acknowledge that it was an outside chance.
And last season the Bucks offered him to the rest of the league for any 1st round pick and nobody was interested.
Ohh well ..we can't complain considering that we used our pick to get rid of Jefferson.

Free agent forward Ersan Ilyasova is close to an agreement on a five-year, $45 million contract to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks, agent Tolga Tugsavul tells HoopsHype. The deal is almost finalized and will likely be signed this coming week, Tugsavul said.
