Yay!
ing excellent. Good price as well.
like the partial guarantee deal in 3
great deal.
Great deal tbh. Now that all the important pieces are re-signed, lets see if the Spurs decide to do any other moves.
Bobo!
lol at him making less then splitter
Welcome back BoBo!!!
Nice! Can't believe he couldn't get the third year full guaranteed though. I figured his market value would be about 3 years, $21 million guaranteed. I hope it's frontloaded too, since the Spurs are in no danger whatsoever of hitting the luxury tax level this year.
Hope he doesn't get fat again now that he got paid

Great news
why no guarantee 3 year this partial
A lot of money for a back up big with a history of food-quitting teams and passivity.
But I don't mind, reward money was earned and deserved.
YEAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That contract
still after gasol
Great contract! Would be nice to get someone with the MLE now to put us over the other WC teams, but I'll be satisfied with the same team
Now we can sign LeBron with all that cap space!
While other contenders are going through the chaos of fighting for big names, the Spurs are smoothly re-signing the necessary pieces to make another run for the le.
gortot just got 60 million
