If Duncan is ready to take a paycut for his new contract, Ilyasova isn't that much of a reach.
The following scenario is CBA compliant:
- Mills opt out.
- Spurs don't do a QO to Green but keep their early bird rights on him.
- Byars is cut.
- Bonner is amnestied.
- Blair and Joseph are salary dumped. Cash can even be included if needed.
- Spurs re-sign Duncan to a $15M/3 years contract.
- Spurs spend their cap-space on Ilyasova to sign him to a $31.5M/4 years contract.
- Spurs use their room exception ($5.3M/2 years) on Lorbek.
- Spurs re-sign Green with the early bird rights.
- Spurs fill the rest of the roster with min salaries.
At the end Spurs rotation would be:
Parker/Neal
Ginobili/Green
Leonard/Jackson
Ilyasova/Lorbek
Duncan/Splitter
Ginboili
