I don't know how many other options the spurs are going to have...Tmac? Lol .. no one wants to play for the spurs..money to spend and as close as one gets to just winning a 5th. If they can't attract anyone this summer, when will there ever be hope to land a fa?Quote:

Impact of Splitter signing:
$50,666,028 = with Splitter assuming a flat contract over the 4 years / $36 million
$49,714,458 = with Splitter assuming 7.5% annual increases mean first year is $8,048,430
If Bonner is amnestied:
$45,769,458 to $46,721,028 committed
That would leave:
$7,833,972 to $8,785,542 of cap room with Bonner (11 players)
$11,778,972 to $12,730,052 of cap room without Bonner (10 players)
If we go the no-Bonner route, I think that's plenty of cap room for Manu ($4 million) plus AK47 ($7 million), leaving the mid-level for another shooter to replace Neal. Should they bring Neal back (gave him a qualifying offer), they may have to be more creative. Bringing back Bonner means it's almost certain that AK47 would have to fit into the MLE. Seems like it comes down to a question of whether Bonner or Unknown Shooter X will be more valuable to the team. Given AK47 can guard guys in the post at least as well as Bonner - and we all know Bonner was serviceable last year - they will add wing depth instead. Reddick is off the table, so that's probably where the Monta Ellis / J.R. Smith rumors are coming from.
i hope we get zaza, i like saying zaza

Wishful thinking on my part but I have faith in Manu.Quote:

They have to settle Manu's contract first and work from there. Right now, Manu's cap hold has them almost at 70M. If he signs for 5M then they would be a couple of millions below the expected cap (58.5M) and get rid of Neal and Bonner to get the exact number they can offer below the cap or they can retain both and use the exceptions. You can't use (most of) the exceptions until you get rid of the holds and are above the cap.Quote:
