We need a big.
We couldn't have signed him for Kyle Anderson money, like $5M?
We need a big.
Not as badly as we need a Top 3 draft pick, tbh.
In the worst way.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what the story is with Milutinov? Is there any chance he comes over for this season? Has he given any indication he wants to come over?
Dude looks like he would be an asset as a pick and roll big with his size, hands and finishing around the rim.. reminds me a bit of Tiago.

Three names that keep coming up with teams as players to watch in the next wave of free agency:
LAC RFA Montrezl Harrell
DET UFA James Ennis
MIA UFA Wayne Ellington
Multiple teams told me they were stunned Ellington isn't signed yet. One said "I wish we had money left for him!"
Hmmm....hmmmm
Signed two players, released two players.....
Thats it??
Nope, not after Marco and Rudy Gay and Green opting in
They had the 8.7 MLE, which could be broken up (and was with Marco), the BAE (that Lopez got in Milwaukee) and ... Minimums
Chance yes, but I would think that he would have signed already.
He makes a nice salary, amount unknown, to start for Olympiakos. . He did sign with a new agency in April so a new contract might be desired for them to get their cut
He had a nebulous knee injury near the end of the season but it didn't keep him from appearing with the national team, and apparently surgery isn't necessary.
His buyout situation is easy, iirc it's only 900k and the Spurs can cover 700k of it
After the Marco deal they could only offer him maybe a 3/9 deal. That might not be enough to get him, but we'll find out in less than two weeks because his buyout window closes soon.
What ever happened to Tony Parker's 23M cap hold? That money just disappeared when he signed with Charlotte?
.
Basically, yes. They were over the cap last year after signing Mills and Pau, then they used MLE on Gay.
This year, sure, Parker's cap hold is off, but Green opted in and they signed Gay using non-bird rights plus the higher than usual salary for the draft pick because it was so high this year ... And basically everyone else got their typical 8% raises ...
No money left, not cap room anyway.
To illustrate:
The cap is 101.869
LMA, Kawhi, Pau, Mills, Gay and Green are about 91 million total.
After Manu, Murray, White, Walker, and the cap hold for Bertans, cap hold for Forbes and Hilliard, plus the minimum for Brandon Paul, you can see how even dropping Parker didn't create any room.
project spurs have a good video they just released on the current cap situation
Spurs salary situation looks like
It looks amazing what are you talking about
Doling out that kind of money for a guy who doesn't win basketball games.Booker signs extension

Sources: Devin Booker has signed a 5-year, $158M maximum contract extension with the Phoenix Suns.
Probably speaking from the perspective of someone who thinks the roster is really bad without the team having cap space to sign a "better" player this year.
That's the downside to a max deal. Guys who can tie their sneakers feel en led to get it. It's just like in the NFL how ever FA who's at a Pro Bowl level has to be the new highest-paid at his position, even if he's not better than the other players.
It just kills ty franchises. Booker is never going to win basketball games for Phoenix. They're not going to be in the playoffs for several years. I guess it sort of doesn't matter, but they're going to be paying this guy even more as the years go on and he's going to do jack .
grain of salt again
Source: Luc Mbah a Moute not a lock to return to Houston, has other offers on the table
According to a person close to the situation and with knowledge of negotiations, Houston isn’t giving Mbah a Moute the money and long-term security he desires, instead offering him near the same amount as the $2.1 million veteran’s minimum deal he signed for with Houston in the 2017-18 season. The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to comment about Mbah a Moute.
According to the person, the San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers have expressed interest, and at least two of these teams have presented offers to Mbah a Moute.

Their number one pick will help
Their pick last year will be better
They should be close to .500 this year
Azria will help also
Is Jabari Parker a restricted free agent? I like that the Spurs are showing interest in Mbah a Moute. He's a good defender.
Would have been a better signing than Belinelli..weakens Houston, gets one of the few defensive players in the league on Kyle's level to replace him..
