Roster Spots Remaining (for buyouts/FAs )

Clippers-2 (Hard Capped)
Cavs-1
Spurs-1
Warriors-1 (Hard Capped)
Mavs-0
Rockets-0 (Hard Capped)

"If a team is hard-capped, it cannot exceed the apron under any circumstance. If the team subsequently needs to sign a player (for example, to replace injured players) it must first create room under the apron by waiving player(s) with non-guaranteed salary, waiving player(s) with guaranteed salary and utilizing the stretch provision, trading downward in salary, etc.

A team that is hard-capped can sign players to non-guaranteed contracts for training camp or the regular season, but must rid themselves of such players before their salary would take the team above the apron. A team subject to the hard cap can also sign players to Rest-of-Season contracts during the season, as long as the salary pro-ration keeps the team below the apron."

What you're going for, I think, is identifying which teams retain the ability to offer more than a prorated share of the vet minimum to a free agent. Being subject to a hard cap doesn't mean that a team can't offer more than the minimum. It just means that their total spending can't rise above the apron. If they retain a salary cap exception and sufficient space under the apron, then they can offer more than the minimum. The three hard capped teams listed above have used their available salary cap exceptions for 2014-15 and can't offer anything other than the minimum.

Dallas and Cleveland both signed free agents using cap space and used their room exceptions, so both of those teams also are down to minimum offers.

There are other playoff teams, however, that retain salary exceptions or cap space. Atlanta, for example, has almost 5M in cap space remaining (Danny Ferry would be the frontrunner for Exec of the Year in a normal year).

Basketball Insiders has a one page summary that shows all remaining exceptions and cap space:

http://www.basketballinsiders.com/nba-team-salaries-at-a-glance/

Lack of an available roster space is no real obstacle to signing a free agent at this point as the least valuable player on the roster can simply be waived.

OK. I think I misunderstood the hard cap. I thought that once a team uses the MLE it can't exceed the luxury tax line by more than $4 million for any reason. So even the hard capped teams can still offer vet. min. contracts despite having no exceptions remaining. :tu thanks for the correction.

[Chinook]

Nope. You're correct in that assumption. Min contracts can't be offered if they would make the team exceed the hard cap. However, just because a team is hard capped doesn't mean that they are too close to the cap to offer a min salary. Any team that uses the non-taxpayer MLE or receives a player in a S&T is technically hard-capped.

That is true, but none of the teams on your list are more than 4M over the tax line. If a minimum contract would take a hard capped team over the apron, then they would not be able to use it. The Clips are getting close to the apron, but Dallas and GS aren't even over the luxury tax line.

I do wonder how big of an upgrade Wilson Chandler would be over Beli. I know I/we have talked about him a lot, but it's been interesting to follow Chandler this season. He has had stretches where he's looked very good, but overall, he's been pretty inefficient. I still like his versatility, but he's only had one above-average season (and that was at PF).

Ultimately, I like him over Beli, but I don't like him over Beli and an asset. I do think the team should make a move for a combo-forward (and not AK for the love of god). But I don't see anyone who'd be available. The Nicholson/Ayres swap would be cool as well, though.

[TheGoldStandard]

I wouldn't mind seeing Gerald Green as a backup SF but doubt that would work

Aren't him and Danny like 2nd cousins or something?

[Chinook]

Aren't him and Danny like 2nd cousins or something?

Yep. I wanted the Spurs to trade Bonner for him back in 2013 when the Pacers were offering a pick as part of the deal.

[TheGoldStandard]

Yep. I wanted the Spurs to trade Bonner for him back in 2013 when the Pacers were offering a pick as part of the deal.

What do you think the cost would be now?

[Chinook]

What do you think the cost would be now?

Some small asset. The Spurs could probably get him for Beli and a second. The issue is that the team doesn't have the contracts to trade for him, anymore. Had they kept Daye, they could have moved him and Ayres for a player like Green. But now, there's no one disposible on the roster who could make the numbers work.

[Raven]

The Suns are under the cap, the Beli for Green deal would work financially.

Edit:

never mind .misread.

[Chinook]

The cap part doesn't matter. I was saying that the Spurs don't have the disposible contracts to trade for Green. I don't think they would trade Beli for Gerald, and I don't believe they should. But Ayres and Daye would have worked nicely.

[Raven]

uh, massive. No comparison really. Also Beli has done his job for this year, and can return to being the irrelevant pos he has always been when games matter.

Yeah I realized that's what you meant after i posted. Wonder if a Ayers + second would be enough for Plumlee. Give us another big under contract for next season. I would say Baynes but it would be unlikely he would give his consent.

[TheGoldStandard]

Gerald would fix that hole at the 3 off the bench and he's athletic enough to stay in front of 2 guards and PGs on switches.

could we sell the rights to hangs and ayers or ayers and a 2nd?

[cd021]

He is actually a pretty good shooter (more so last season). If the Ayers+2nd trade could work, I don't think that would be enough. After Bledsoe and Goodwin on the wing, they'd really only have [Marcus] Morris there. [Zoran] Dragic, Goodwin, Warren, Bullock, are all unproven players. So unless its Beli +2nd rounder for Green i don't think it makes much sense for the Suns.

[SpursFan86]

The Nicholson/Ayres swap would be cool as well, though.

Orlando Magic (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/orl/) management remains reluctant to unload forward Andrew Nicholson for a marginal return, still wondering how a new coach next season would better utilize him offensively, sources tell Yahoo Sports. Jacque Vaughn and his interim successor, James Borrego, have been unable and unwilling to incorporate his inside-outside scoring abilities into their simplistic offensive systems.

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--suns-determined-to-sign-dragic--barring-blockbuster-trade-offer-195235888.html

[gambit1990]

the spurs could use new blood. not that i think they can't win it all without some but it would help. doesn't have to be major. i still want wilson chandler.

on a more extreme note... i think parker can still play better than he has this season, but i'd rather have dragic than parker.

[gambit1990]

i'd also be happy with gerald green.

Sunless its Beli +2nd rounder for Green i don't think it makes much sense for the Suns.

I would hate to give up Marco. Green for Marco kinda seems redundant for Phoenix, trading a sf for a SG/sf who cost around the same doesn't make them better especially if they want to resign next season.

[Chinook]

Dallas is waiving Ricky Ledo. I'd put in a claim just to see what's up. Dude was hyped in school.

[Malik Hairston]

Honestly, I'm not sure if I could name 5 players in the NBA that would be worse fits for the Spurs(from a chemistry standpoint, not role) than Gerald Green, tbh:lol..

Pop would probably kill himself if he had to coach him..

I was one of the biggest pro-Wilson Chandler people on ST a few years ago, but it seems like he's beginning to decline, tbh..the SF position sees a sharp decline for players that don't have niches IMO..it's also generally a difficult position to fit in your system when the SF isn't a 3 or D or 3-d guy..

[Robz4000]

At this point the best bet for the Spurs would be to just wait and see the buyout market. There's no player out there that would really move the needle for the Spurs that could be had for their tradeable assets outside trading draft picks which they seem hesitant to move. If Diaw, Splitter, and Parker come around they'll be set, but if not there's no player to be had to offset their decline.

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
(https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania)Suns informed Goran Dragic tonight that they'll accept his request for trade and work to move him by deadline, league source tells RealGM.

[coachmac87]

Call me crazy but if I was the Thunder I'd trade for Dragic and move Westbrook to the 2....

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I think we pick up AK47 by buyout or trading Philly

[gambit1990]

i hope dragic goes to ny.

[SpurPadre]

I think we pick up AK47 by buyout or trading Philly

He had his chance and blew us off so fuck him. And I'm sure Pop doesn't appreciate him disrespecting Brett Brown. And on top of all that: NO. MORE. OLD. FUCKS. Well, unless we can get him for in exchange of Ginger Fuck.

[exstatic]

I think we pick up AK47 by buyout or trading Philly

Why do people keep saying this? He has a well known feud with Ettore Messina. He called him out for leaving CSKA Moscow, owned by AK's friend(s).

[SpurPadre]

Why do people keep saying this? He has a well known feud with Ettore Messina. He called him out for leaving CSKA Moscow, owned by AK's friend(s).

Oh yeah, I forget about that but when you combine that with his mutiny against Brown, there's no chance in hell we get him.

[Ice009]

Oh yeah, I forget about that but when you combine that with his mutiny against Brown, there's no chance in hell we get him.

Against Brown? I'm not following.

Also, it's good that Dragic isn't interested in Houston. I figured he's pissed off with them or doesn't like them after they wouldn't pay him and let him go in the first place.

I have no idea what Houston were thinking letting go of both Lowry and Dragic. Two really, really good points guards and then they go sign Jeremy Lin instead. Fucking idiots.

[Hoops Czar]

Really hope he doesn't go to any of the top 7 teams in the West.

I wouldn't mind him going to the seventh seed in the west at all.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I wouldn't mind him going to the seventh seed in the west at all.

I pray that he somehow goes to the seventh seed in the West. His name is fucking Goran Dragic. He belongs here.

[Spursfanfromafar]

Wont happen or not even going to be thought of by the Suns.. but hypothetically.. what if Suns are keen on Parker for Dragic? (Parker for Dragic + Green)

I would do it!

[szkorhetz]

I pray that he somehow goes to the seventh seed in the West. His name is fucking Goran Dragic. He belongs here.
after this? No!
Amick reports that there are thought to be seven or eight teams seriously interested in Dragic and that he also wants to be given the freedom and support to run his own team such as Stephen Curry's situation with the Golden State Warriors.

[DrSteffo]

He is actually a pretty good shooter (more so last season). If the Ayers+2nd trade could work, I don't think that would be enough.

So unless its Beli +2nd rounder for Green i don't think it makes much sense for the Suns.

The Suns also have Tucker and it seems that most of their fans would like to get rid of Gerald Green. He shoots whenever he catches the ball and is one of the worst defenders in the league (worse than any player we have on our team). No thanks. I can fully understand that Dragic wants out of the Suns. It has become a collection of big egos rather than a basketball team.

"Teams trying to move high-priced veterans like Prince, Andrea Bargnani (Knicks), Bass (Celtics),Kevin Martin (Timberwolves) and David Lee (Warriors) aren't likely to find any takers. All of the above, besides Lee, would then be headed for buyouts, sources say."

http://www.cbssports.com/nba/writer/ken-berger/25072213/trade-deadline-buzz-uncertainty-reigns-as-deadline-approaches

Figured Bass but Martin is interesting, if true. He has two more years after this season and is on a pretty good contract ($6.8 this season, 7.0 and 7.3 million over the next two).

Nope. I'd totally take on Martin for Beli and Ayres if the Wolves were willing to swap the Spurs' pick with the Heat pick.

Dragic's preferred destinations are Knicks, Lakers, & Heat^


He is apparently wary of returning to Rockets. Also heard somewhere else that he'd want Beverly to be move if the Rockets get him. Dragic and Beverly have the same agent and if Beverly gets move to the Suns he will see a sharp drop in minutes.

[boutons_deux]

Two really, really good points guards and then they go sign Jeremy Lin instead. Fucking idiots.

[szkorhetz]

Sanders is bought out.

[cd021]

Yeah. someone is really planning on buying out Martin's contract....

Nope. I'd totally take on Martin for Beli and Ayres if the Wolves were willing to swap the Spurs' pick with the Heat pick.

Really like the idea of the Heat pick swap. Its top 10 protected, i believe. The Heat have made it clear that they aren't going to tank so that pick would probably be no worse than 15th and closer to 12th overall.

Haven't watched Bass much since Orlando. I know he can hit the mid-range jumper but how is he defensively?

[tmtcsc]

Sanders is bought out.

You mean "strung" out.

[SpursFan86]

Apparently Dallas has interest in Sanders.

1) How much fucking money do they have? Seems like they try to get literally everyone on the market.

2) He'd be a really good fit for them and I hope he doesn't go there. He could cover some of Amar'e's deficiencies on defense and would actually make their bench decent on that end. Obviously he's a huge question mark in terms of off-the-court stuff, but if he did get his shit straight, he could do wonders for them IMO. I've never considered Dallas a real threat. Not before the Rondo trade, not after, and not when they went out and got Amar'e. But if they get Sanders as well, and he pans out...they might be for real.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1846/reggie-jackson

this is going to turn out really well for somebody. The spurs don't have a starting 1 job open. But Tony isn't exactly made of steel, and there's always Pops rest strategy. Jackson seems to perform well against the Spurs, iirc.

I think the Spurs should swap Cojo(+) for a rookie scale point like Lavine, instead of paying for an extension. If they're going to pay extension money, i'd rather they throw in some cap flex money and slap it down on the offer sheet table for Jackson. You don't get natural wingspan and athleticism from European farm minutes. Either way it goes down, Jackson solves the pending post-Manu, aged Tony crisis. Or Jackson cost somebody else that much more. You might be thinking, "isn't this the trade thread? What's with offer sheets and extension money?" Good point, wherever Jackson ends up... i'll be rooting that he doesn't sign an extension. And i'll hold out drunk hope on a 3 way deal with minny and okc.

Do any eastern conference teams ever sign these motherfuckers?

[Malik Hairston]

Afflalo is on the downhill, he's an average player nowadays..another example of name recognition hype, tbh..he's a good post-up guard in a league that doesn't reward post-up guards anymore..

He has played well against the Spurs, but that's irrelevant on the large scale..

I like Chandler, I wanted him on the Spurs for years, but he's no longer an impact player, either IMO..

[Dverde]

Spurs are going to do nothing. Affalo to Portland could bring them a title. I really think they are one player away.

[Uriel]

Spurs are going to do nothing. Affalo to Portland could bring them a title. I really think they are one player away.
Who knows? Many of us were expecting the Spurs to make a move the past few years, but they never did. This year, none of us are expecting them to make a move, so it seems only appropriate that they would. :lol

I like Chandler, I wanted him on the Spurs for years, but he's no longer an impact player, either IMO..

I mean neither of them are great players, but look at who they'll be replacing. Afflalo is a noticeable upgrade over someone like CJ McCollum or Crabbe or whoever the hell they're giving minutes to.

Same goes for OKC. Chandler isn't some game-changer, but when you compare him to Andre fucking Roberson, it's a noticeable improvement.

I'm not saying we should be freaking out or anything...but I'd definitely prefer if these teams didn't pick up guys like Afflalo/Chandler.

[Malik Hairston]

They would be good additions, I don't think either of them changes anything, though..

Afflalo would be a nice addition to a shitty Portland bench, but that team doesn't have anything close to a championship-level team, just based on their gimmick style of play and personnel..

I don't think players like Wilson Chandler age well, tbh..he doesn't have a niche at a position that is most difficult to find a role on a team if you aren't a 3&D(or just 3/just D) guy..

You can't combine a player and an exception.

[MateoNeygro]

Spurs aren't going to make any moves. They have the same Championship team from last year and I highly doubt they are so shaken by the mediocre first half of the season that they uncharacteristically make a knee jerk trade. They can get Six without any trades.

Yep. They Spurs aren't going to trade any major parts and aren't going to make a trade unless it obviously makes them better...and their ain't many ways to do that when you are dangling Bonner, Errors, and Baynes on the market.

[DrunkTXLabrat]

i have read that the magic are willing to dump harkless for ayersish nothingness. i think that would be worth a shot.

if people are salivating over the career stats of reggie williams, i think harkless should be able to draw some support. but i'm a drunk. i change the channel when the angry madd member, who's kid died of texting and driving, comes on tv. and wants to pay money every time a cop spots her checking the weather on her way home. so idk. harkless seems like the kinda player who could play better under THE SYSTEM?

http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nba/1949/moe-harkless

[spursnatic]

NO
I truthfully would not like getting rid of Parker, but I would have to think about it for a Monster like Faried and a decent Point Guard in return

[hater]

^ the midget is a decent BACKUP PG (similar to Patty or Cojo). He's no starting material for a contender. :lol

LOL at that trade idea

[Chillen]

Spurs need to make a move imo. They have a shot at a repeat but it will be tough as nails since the West is so crazy this year with talented teams. Pretty much any team can beat eachother 1-8. Standing pat I don't know if it's a good idea tbh. If a deal is there that improves the team, do it, but I expect them to stand pat and go for a repeat with the same squad.

[Ice009]

What time does the trade deadline end in Eastern time?

So it's 3pm EST? I'm not from the US, so that's why I'm asking. Thanks.

[TheGoldStandard]

Nothing to see here, would be shocked if they trade for anyone. ayers takes up dead space but he's still around so it won't surprise me if they try to find a PG to replace cojo that can't dribble

For stupidity sake I have a 4 team deal that lands Parker to Minnesota, Marco and ayers to Utah and we get Kevin Martin and Crawford to SA. This is the kind of nonsense that's being pushed

So Brooklyn will continue to suck, OKC gets another big but no competent backup wing and lose a competent back up Pg

[Seventyniner]

So the Thunder wouldn't pay the luxury tax for James Harden but they'll do it for Brook Lopez? They'll be well over the tax next season if they trade Reggie + Perk for Brook and Brook picks up his $16+M player option.

Actually, he probably isn't. All he does is score on isolations. That's the last thing OKC needs.

[hater]

Lopez is a big that needs to be fed. Good luck thinking Chimp will play along with that :lol

[SpursFan86]

Actually, he probably isn't. All he does is score on isolations. That's the last thing OKC needs.

He can shoot spot up jumpers pretty well, can't he?

Anyways, I think playing him with the starting unit would be a bad decision. Obviously there aren't enough touches to go around, and he sure as hell isn't going to be contributing much defensively or on the boards. But he could work well if they played him with the bench. Highly doubt they're going to be bringing in a guy making $16 million/year so he can play on the bench though, and I doubt he'd want to do that too.

[cd98]

Brook Lopez, if healthy, would be a nice weapon for the Thunder, assuming Westbrook will not jack up threes, but instead feed the post. They've never had a post up big man, so I'm not so sure how that will work out. That said, Brook Lopez ends every season about two or three months early with a broken foot, so I'm not sure how many games he'll actually suit up for the Thunder.

Reggie Evans or Ryan Hollins maybe?

[cd98]

Why is Minnesota trading for Garnett? They are a lottery team and should be in win now mode. Maybe they see Garnett as an expiring contract and want to give the fans one last time to cheer their best player in franchise history. I'm assuming they are just giving players they don't want and no draft picks. That being the case, why would NJ trade him given that they are trying to dump salary themselves and they are more likely to get a pick from a contender?

[FlAVaK]

^nostalgia i guees. and he wants to own them anyway...

Zero chance of that, IMO. Would make no sense for either party. McGee is owed $12M next season, never mind the remainder of this season. He's not going to forfeit any of that in the form of a buyout, nor should he. And from the Sixers side, the amount of any acceptable buyout would grossly exceed the amount it would take so simply buy a late 1st round pick on draft night (the pick they're getting is from OKC and is protected)....typically in the $3-4M range.

Reminds me of that baseball player who was traded for used baseball equipment and some bats - we could just give Ayers away for some Cabana or Whataburger?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Odom_%28baseball%29

[TheGoldStandard]

Knowing the Spurs they'd get rid of Ayres who can't shoot, rebound well, catch, play consistently and fouls all the time for 6 foot tall small forward who can't jump and has small arms

The only scary thing about Houston is how easily Harden gets to the line. He can get some of our starters in foul trouble early. If the refs let them play I'll take the Spurs in 5 or 6.
