btw. what about this:
Dice got 5 million straight, which would leave 850K of the MLE.
considering the allowed pay rise Blair could get 850 + 920 + 990, this sums up to slightly above the reported 2.7M.
(Dice could get 5.0+5.4+5.8 = 16.2 million)
That's another scenario that works. And you're right that it does match up nicely with what Blair is rumored to be getting.

Not sure what the Spurs actual cap number is yet.
oh darn, I thought perhaps we were actually under the tax yet

Yr 2 - $6.322
Yr 3 - $2.824 (the guaranteed portion only)
Total - $15.000
But the Spurs could have told Dyess they needed to save some of that MLE for Blair and then offered him a 3 year deal starting at something less than the MLE that would still net him the $15 mil over the 3 years. That would look like this:
Yr 1 - $4.630
Yr 2 - $5.000
Yr 3 - $5.370
Total - $15.000
This would save the Spurs around $1.2 mil of their MLE and guarantee Dyess his $15 mil, but Dyess would be taking a hit in years 1 and 2. However the CBA allows teams to take 20% of the contract value and pay that in the first year as a signing bonus. I won't get into all the mumbo jumbo on how all that works but you can read about it here. http://members.cox.net/lmcoon/salarycap.htm#Q62
What it ends up working out to is that Dyess would actually be cashing checks as follows.:
Yr 1 - $6.630
Yr 2 - $4.000
Yr 3 - $4.370
Total - $15.000
Even though Dyess would end up recieving more money in the 1st year than the actual MLE, it works because the CBA states that a player's cap figure is equal to the amount he earns, not the amount he gets paid. There's a distinction here because Dyess is in essence getting paid money in the 1st year that he hasn't actually earned yet. But he doesn't care and the Spurs are okay with it because it allows them to save some of their MLE. It's win-win. This couldn't have happened without Dyess agreeing to it so we owe him our thanks.
Well, you just proved the latter portion of your username. :lol Props. :toast

Re: DeJuan Blair signs three-year, $2.7 million contract
Good deal indeed.
Really this year the Spurs FO deserve huge props, everything is being done good and fast. We're blessed to be spurs fans ! Look at the mess for other major teams: mavs rapped by Orlando, LA in trouble with Odom, Portland going nowhere, Heat under pressure to find quickly a decent supporting cast for Wade, Suns being the suns...
So far the fastest smoothest successful off season spurs, celts and magic, the rest is on mess mode.

It depends if they win one or two more b4 retirement...
I think that if they win one more or two... they may go for a third with TP as "the man" :)
TD off the bench 10 min big and Manu spot up shooter 5 min off the bench too.... :wow

Manu maybe. It will be difficult to play as hard as he does and have a long career. However, I think Timmy can play (depending on his health) in an incrementally decreased role for another 5 years or so. I would like to see TD have a Abdul-Jabbar like career.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Manu becoming more of a shooter. He's already said that he wants to play for a few more years and that he's going to be working more on his shooting and mid range shots so that he can do it.
