    Hopefully with SL ending today we will start hearing some more concrete rumors on who the Spurs are interested at PF.

    If Kirilenko is listening, this is crazy. I really hope this is BS; because otherwise, our FO needs a kick up the ass. Kirilenko for the vet min would mean we could have gotten him, and almost certainly Diaw as well in the MLE. Make 2 years and 9M into 4 years and 13M for Diaw, and double the Nets vet min offer to Kirilenko...

    He's not coming for the vet minimum...and if he did, he wouldn't choose the Spurs over the Nets for very obvious reasons.

    That's my hope too. And speaking of wishes, I hope the whole "we like our bigs" talk isn't what Pop and RC really think.

    I never thought Kirilenko would come for the the vet min. But I still think we could have gotten him with a Diaw-ish chunk of the MLE, and I'm not sure how much real money Diaw would have attracted on the open market.

    IF I have to choose between AK-47 and Diaw in my lineup, I take AK-47. If it works out, I take both...

    I have to agree with ace3g on Malcolm Thomas. He seems pretty intriguing and has the skills the spurs need. Does anyone know if he has improved his jump shot?

    I think the Spurs did what they had to do with the whole Diaw situation. There is no doubt that AK-47 is the better player but you have to look at it from where the front office stands...they just acquired a player that helped them win 20 games in a row. He fit in perfectly with no camp and very little practice time with the team. Do you roll the dice on another player who may or may not sign with you and risk losing the player that was such a big part of your success late in the season?

    If there wasn't already a successful option available and ready to sign I'd see the point of chasing AK-47. But you don't go all in on a weak hand and hope for that one card on the river.

    Because:

    (1) Even if we amnesty Bonner, we still have to pay him.

    (2) Since we're over the cap, amnestying Bonner doesn't give us any cap room or anything else to make it easier to sign anyone. All we have left is the minimum.

    Not to mention that using the amnesty clause on Bonner wouldn't change jack in terms of acquiring another player. We would only have MIN contracts to offer anyway.

    The Spurs had no chance to get him. Why get annoyed? Best bet is to assume that he'll go to the Lakers and just begin to process it in advance.

    Word is that former teammate Deron Williams is putting on the full court press to get him to sign short term for the minimum.

    Turiaf signed with the Clippers for the minimum. I'm assuming the Spurs weren't interested . . .

    I tell you Del Negro can't design an inbound pass to save his life but he'll make a good FO man.

    They took Bonner over Turiaf in the past and they still do that now.

    Indeed anyone who fears the LA teams has to remember they're being coached by del Negro and Mike Brown. LA isn't ringing anytime soon.

    Same will hold true for Martin. He won't even consider the Spurs until all doors are closed for the 5 teams in NY, LA, and Miami. The French Connection may get Turiaf to listen, but he is also a former Knick, Laker, and Heat.
    Turiaf opts out of a guaranteed minimum contract with one of the Big 5 only to sign for the minimum with another Big 5 team. Just needs the Nets to complete the career sweep.

    Yeah, nice roster for the Clips but Vinny lost the team in the middle of last season and is hopeless as a coach. They go as far as coach-PG CP3 takes them. It's incredible how moronic Sterling's decisions continue to be... how the he'll do you bring back a coach who lost the team's confidence?
