All in modafckas - Peter Holt
Just whack Williams and Fredette, and you're almost under. If Bonner is a partial, whack him at the deadline and audition a few 10 day wonders. It's catastrophic to pay the tax three years out of four, so dodge it this year if you can.
Kind of depends on how many other teams are over the tax threshold. If the share of tax money isn't all that great to begin with, no big deal going over a little.
Not for this year, but even $1 over sets you as a payer, and then you have to avoid in the future,paying two years out of three, possibly quite painfully. If you're close, get under if possible.Quote:

If I remember, the way they structured it, if you're $1 over you pay $1.50 in tax. If you're a repeat offender and you're $1 over, you pay $2.50 in tax. The tax percentage, and the repeat offender percentages escalate, the farther you go over the tax threshold.Quote:

You don't get a distribution, of course, but you don't get murdered unless you go way over the threshold in the second (or successive) year. With the cap going up, I doubt the Spurs will be farther over the threshold next year than they are this year.
I wish they go over the tax every other year. Would show the owner's commitment but that is not my money so I have no say :D
right. If players are taking pay cuts, Spurs should pay luxury tax to have deeper bench.Quote:

The article says that Jimmer's contract is guaranteed
This.Quote:

Jimmer's number is a partial guarantee. The vet min for him is $1.1M, so he has a partial guarantee of just under 50 percent.Quote:

My question is will the Spurs use future cap space or will Holt take a backseat and stay way under the tax line ...
Using all available capspace and staying under the tax line are not mutually exclusive . That is the way the Spurs have operated forever.
The other option is to tank 3-4 seasons, get some high picks, wait for the rookies to reach their prime, sign the right role players and get a top coach.
On the other hand, the Spurs had the chance to rebuild this season, giving Kawhi and LaMacurs max deals. Re-sign Duncan and Manu, bring all the key pieces back. The Spurs could win another championship in the next two seasons, and are set for the future.
This isn't like when the Spurs signed RJ, Aldridge is a top 10 NBA player.
If the past is any indication, there is no danger of that.Quote:

Wouldn't be surprised to see a cut develop between Jimmer vs. Bonner depending on which position (PF vs SG) needs the backup 3pt shooter worse.

The Cavs are likely profitable I would guess. LBJ makes them the equivalent of a big market team for as long as he's in Cleveland.Quote:
