Tim Duncan Finalizing 2 Year Deal Starting at $5 Million

But the fact he took that number likely stemmed early on from intentions of avoiding tax & keeping Danny/Mills. When the cap jumped it likely shifted to SA having a chance at small deals like Ray while keeping the original priorities in tact. Now with the big cap jump? Means Spurs still have cap space or the room exception.

Wish Gerald Green wouldn't have taking the min w MIA now.

srsly, thank you timmy! :toast

Is there even a wing available worth spending that money on? Maybe I'm blanking out, but I'm having trouble thinking of one. Ellington and Green both got snatched up today. Alan Anderson is gone. Maybe Dorell Wright?

Another alternative is using that money to get a serviceable center.

There are still some options for SG&C but perhaps it comes via trade or buyout down the road. Lots of options.

OK. I'm open to the possibility that I have a number wrong, but here's what I have:

1. Parker @ 13,437,500
2. Green @ 10,000,000
3. Leonard @ 16,407,500
4. Aldridge @ 19,689,000
5. Duncan @ 5,000,000
6. Mills @ 3,578,947
7. Ginobili @ 2,814,000
8. Anderson @ 1,142,879
9. Diaw @ 7,500,000
10. West @ 947,276
11. McCallum @ 947,276
12. Vet min @ 947,276
13. Vet min @ 947,276
14. Vet min @ 947,276

Total = $84,306,206

If Ginobili signed for $2,771,564 under the cap and someone else got the Room exception, they'd be at $86,130,494 with 14 players.

I'm liking the idea of Cole Aldrich for us at center.

Timmy the ma'fuckin Gawd. Love that dude.

Meanwhile Kobe's going to make 5X that this season alone :lol

I'll have to check later. But perhaps I am missing something.

West is about $1.4 million and I think McCallum is $450k.

West's salary is $1.49 million. His charge to the Spurs is $947,276.

Where does your number for McCallum come from? His salary is $947,276.

Timmy Da GAWD. :worthy:

GOAT. Timmy will always and forever be my favorite Spur...

1-5. parker,green,kawhi,lma,duncan
6-10.mills,manu,KA,diaw,west
11. mccallum

A quick google search on McCallum showed his salary at $490k.

That's not correct according to several online sources. It also wouldn't match with the current rookie scale for a 3rd year 2nd rounder.

Nor would it matter, since the contract gets scaled up for tax purposes.

Duncan at $5m gives us around $2.8m in cap room. Expect us to sign Manu to cap space and keep the Room Exception for a waived player mid season

Right. Which is why the number is the same $947,276 as the other vet mins. That's the two-year vet min.

If the Spurs waive Williams and renounce Bonner (which they probably will as both can be brought back with the Vet min), they will have the full MLE. But factor in the Ray trade and so they will have around 4.3mil in cap to work. That should be more than enough to sign an impact player. They will have to use this before signing Green/Kawhi/West, etc.

As I have said repeatedly, I hope the Spurs try and get Shved. Be the perfect replacement for the Beli role on this team. If Butler wants to come here, he can for the Vet Min like West.

No. Richie was correct. They'll have $2,771,564 or so under the cap to sign Manu. That will put them exactly at $70.0MM.

They will not have the full MLE, just the Room.

Edited: Did you gross up LMA's contract to the actual max based on the new cap? It will be at $19,689,000, a lot more than originally estimated.
