And propably wanted to go to the Nets all along due to the connection with the owner (who owned Kirilenkos home club ZSKA as well), which is why a deal with the Spurs never got anywhere.
Not saying there isnīt something going on here, but itīs not a foregone conclusion imo.
Also, why does this come up here with the bad russians but not with Ray Allen leaving tons of money on the table to play for the Heat ? (or maybe it did, then i missed it)

I think they called Judas Shuttleworth when he left. He got the criticism.
