Maybe we should pick up Colby Jones off waivers and let him compete with both Branham and Wesley. May the best two survive and cut the weak link. Jones is a better defender than Branham so I think it would be an interesting get. Yes we will be on the hook for a salary but the Spurs aren’t anywhere near the tax line. None of the salaries are huge and the Spurs have eaten larger salaries before.
Starting to feel like the Spurs are comfortable just running back Biyombo as the backup C/third string C behind Sochan.
with bassey as well.No way they dont try to improve.
I'm fine bringing him back for the minimum as the third string C, but not for any significant role unless he earns it.
if that's all they can offer, we can easily outbid them with 14.1 million available in MLE money
Considering Yabusele looks like re signing with Philly, Im under the impression FO could re sign the last year's bigs and call it a season...Mamu, Bismark and Bassey already know the system, are the cheaper options possible and their value is not that lower than the one of other free agents effectively available in the actual market...
I really hope the Spurs can get Kornet, but most of all, hope the Lakers don't get their hands on him. them getting even more help on top of getting Luka for peanuts.
I say that if the Spurs are able to steal Kornet, they will be contenders this upcoming season. I don’t care how bad our PF rotation is perceived to be— our hole at backup C is the worst. No roster is perfect. It may just take Carter to develop into a starting PF by year 2 or 3. Then, all we will need by then are quality backups at every position.
ain't Kornet from Dallas and managed by Tim Duncan's former agent? That should be a plus
Looney is the same age as Kornet and frankly I’m not sure why he isn’t coveted more unless there’s an injury he had that I don’t know about. I wouldn’t mind Looney at all as the backup C.
some are suggesting they will resign bustombo.. chilling
If the spurs can grab Kornett and Dean Wade, id be happy
For you guys that are studied up on the cap, how much salary can we take back if we package Malaki and Wesley? More specifically, how much can we save a team thats over the cap?
According to a quick search but someone should check. Bottom line those contract seem quite valuable for rounding out the roster (e.g. S&Ts for Kornet, Jerome, Wade come to mind):
For teams above the first apron:
Starting in the 2024 offseason, teams above either tax apron will be limited to taking back only 100% of their outgoing salary.
For teams below both tax aprons:
200% of outgoing salary (plus $250K) for amounts up to $7,500,000: If the outgoing salary is relatively low, teams can take back double the outgoing salary plus an extra $250,000.
Outgoing salary plus $7.5MM for amounts between $7,500,001 and $29,000,000: A wider range of outgoing salaries allows for a larger return.
125% of outgoing salary (plus $250K) for amounts above $29,000,000: For larger outgoing salaries, the limit is 125% of the outgoing salary plus an additional $250,000.
Silver needs to find a way to get Jokic to LA. In these trying times, humanity (USA) needs to see Doncic and Jokic play together.
from what I know, if we waive all cap holds (not sure about the rookie cap holds) one of Branham/Wesley can get us back a contract around 15 million. Like Santi Aldama on 16/17/18/19 4-year deal can be traded to the Spurs for Branham.
Lakers can offer him a starting position though. He may value that more, though that'd be a lot of money to leave on the table if PATFO do indeed offer him something in that vicinity.

enough to sign someone in italy's second league
If Spurs are looking for a backup Center - Kevon Looney.
Kornet would be a solid backup C. Looney not so much, maybe 4 years ago
