Spurs must have something up their sleeve that allows them to believe they will have enough space to retain him. Maybe Duncan taking an even bigger pay cut then expected?
Thoughts on making Joseph an offer?

Maybe they are giving up on LMA.
How much is the QO?
Cojo- Pop's loyal soldier.
$3,034,891 for Cojo and $4,045,894 for Leonard.
Retain RFA rights with Joseph. Interesting.
Maybe Cojo would then be included in that Splitter and Haywood deal?
what is your first thought?
I think they can still renounce him though.
Cojo's agent is tight with "la familia" in Cleveland.
Possibility him and Splitter get shipped there for space as opposed to Splitter and Mills
Sign and trade.
yep. who?
I understand the QO for Kawhi (to lower his cap hold), but I'm trying to think of another reason for offering a QO for CoJo (outside of him being used in a trade, or of course the Spurs simply wanting to keep him). Am I missing something?
Possibility of mills going to Cleveland with splitter.
Yeah right
This keeps getting more intriguing.
this is the chatter I'm reading too.
Yeah. This gives them more options.
Better to be in a position to match or work out some value in return for an asset.
While we're caught up in the clearing cap space mode, Spurs still need a supporting cast and as we've seen in offseasons past nothing is a given with having significant cap flexibility.
Some connections to Cleveland with Joseph's agent, rumored trade talks today between Cle and Spurs, could be something could be nothing. Lots of connections in the NBA between teams and players and agents.
If you're going to deal Mills then you need Joseph back. You only do that if you add Aldridge plus retain Green.
I know that CoJo did play with Tristan Thompson at UT.
Mozgov, Verajao, Splitter, Thompson, and possibly Love??? That's some big rotation the Cavs would have to pair with Kyrie and LeBron (with Mills or Cojo off the bench). Do we beat that team?
Leonard did not receive the maximum qualifying offer, as doing so would have eliminated much of the valuable cap space that the Spurs have worked for years to free up this summer, presumably to sign former Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge. Although Leonard’s current qualifying offer would only lock him up for one season if he accepted, he is widely expected to refuse that offer to instead sign a long-term max contract after the Spurs finish up the rest of their business in free agency over the coming days.
The future is a bit more cloudy when examining Joseph’s situation this summer. His qualifying offer is reportedly for $3.0 million. Although this will give San Antonio the option keep Joseph by matching any offer sheet that he signs with another team, the outcome of where he will play next season won’t likely be known until some of the bigger names on the market (namely Aldridge) make their decisions.
Extending the qualifying offer to Joseph will give the Spurs ample time to figure out how their offseason plans will play out. They will have 72 hours to make a decision on the former 29th overall pick if Joseph signs an offer sheet with another team.
If you don't deal Mills, then maybe you S&T Joseph, or you renounce/withdraw the QO to create cap space, depending on what you need.
