One of the teams that troubles Minnesota in Wolves' bid to retain Andrei Kirilenko: San Antonio. I'm told Spurs have AK-47 in their sights
This would be interesting.
THAT IS WHO I WANT
no one else is linked to him
Yep. He declined a $10 million option with Minny though... how much is he looking to get paid?
Also, let's not forget this is not the AK47 from 2004.. This is 32 year old Kirlilenko who has injury problems. Still a solid role player off the bench, especially in the right situation, but I definitely don't hink this would suddenly "put us over the top." A lot comes down to asking $$. Would be a solid pickup at a reasonable price though.

Would he be a possible replacement for Splitter?
Kirilenko would be a great pickup. Better than having Monta Ellis.
Consider it done, TP is good friend with him and he's basically assistant GM at this point.
then we amnesty bonner right? right?
AK47 would be a "Heat" signing as well; perfect player to match up against the Heat.
Trying to get contender discounts, apparently.
He is my first option for Spurs in that free agency.
draw back is he does not shot the three well just 30%
I dunno, AK hasn't done much in the past few years. Another guy well past his peak.
he can create IMO
several years past his peak production

He was named Euroleague MVP two years ago during the lock-out season and had a great year in Minnesota last season.
Best FG% of his career...
The big thing is he can guard multiple positions, something the Spurs need more of.
He's obviously not in his prime, but for the options available he is damn solid. His health concerns me more than his production in all honesty.
The other concern is what kind of contract? He opted out of 10M, so I can't imagine he's looking for anything lest than 20-24M guaranteed.
the goods tbh, i believe ak47 still has alot left in the tank.
finally some good news. I'd love Andrei on this team.
