The way players are being over paid this summer the Spurs might as well give Tiago the full MLE. I doubt there is anyone the Spurs can sign for the 1.5 or 2 million left on the table by Tiago.
Hell Petro got a 3 years 10 million dollar contract, every player left is going to demand more than that.
Yeah, I know, but I can dream, right? :lol
The deals that guys like Petro, Warrick, and Amir Johnson have gotten have blown my mind. You'd think teams want to save money and not blow it on cheap players.
