Yes, that is accurate, though it's closer to $7 Million.

Too bad we couldn't get a longer deal with Bertans, but he has issues of his own of durability and is unproven in this league. Once he proves himself in both fronts, he will be expensive to keep but in 2 years the entire Spurs current support cast could be changing anyways.
Welcome Bertans!!! Happy to see you in Spurs!

Craptors makes sense. We already unloaded a frenchie there once

With his history, lotto team aren't going to give up a 1st rd pick for him. Toronto is the perfect situation for him where he can play 20-25 minutes on a pretender & live in a cosmopolitan city. Craptors own the Cripples 2017 1st rd pick so they can swap him for it.

Okay now that I see it laid out, not a bad looking roster, with the Baltic/Balkan additions.
Just need Parker to 'stay in his lane' and let that Kawhi guy handle the end of game offense, and I see another 67+ win total.

Give in to temptation. It would be much easier to watch Spurs games:
It would be hilarious if Lorbek makes the team and when we play up in Indiana to have Kawhi, Lorbek and Bertans on the floor at the same time and George Hill is no longer on the Pacers. I would love for the camera to pan to Larry Bird at that point.

Thinking the same thing, I am hoping the Spurs ship him for LACs 2017 picks. Decent chance that pick will end up being around 25.
Utah makes plenty of sense too, they don't have much behind Golbert and Favors. They have a slew of picks if Toronto and Utah both pursue Diaw then Utah could give us both GSWs '17 1st round pick (certainly 30th) and maybe Detroit's second round pick ( top 45 possibly)

The biggest difference between Bertans and Bonner is that Bertans not afraid to shoot. He doesn't care if he missed his 5 previous threes or if a defender is right on his hip. You definitely won't have to beg him to take open shots.

That'd be a steep price to pay and a disappointment. They should have the cap space to give him a $4M/2 deal with pure cap space, even accounting for everything else.

The reason why it would be a disappointment is because it could break up what is actually a pretty good asset, when they'd have the cap room is Duncan just made his damned decision. Who the hell needs until 7/10 to make up their minds? That's just so random.

At least something happened today. Good to see things getting ironed out.
Bench unit is starting to look more solid....Mills/Simmons or Manu/Bertans/Anderson/???.
Question now is whether Duncan returns, or if the Spurs can retain Boban. Frankly, one or the other needs to happen, or we will have a big hole to fill.

You're right on everything you said...but ease up on Timmy. He's the GOAT he can do whatever he wants at anytime..the ultimate exception
