    What does KT or the rooks have to do with the LLE or remainder of the MLE?

    Nothing. That played no part in it. Spurs are not near the lux tax.
    It has to do with the fact that this team is extremely savvy with where they spend their money. They won't even spend the LLE or whatever is left of the MLE if necessary.

    They also have Lopez who will probably play more than Shaq sooner than later.

    Why? Because they didn't sign Barnes?

    The Spurs will use the LLE and will use the remainder of their MLE.

    Of course he did not mind the O, they were scoring 106+ points a night. Why did he bring Shaq in? Why did Coach D get run out? If you truly commit to D, you will naturally lose some opportunities to run.

    Management has shown a propensity for going up to the lux tax. It isn't a concern this summer, even if some team offers Kurt the full MLE.
    It is indeed a problem because Kurt is unrestricted, so if he gets a juicy full MLE plus 3 years contract, the Spurs might be hard pressed to match or better the offer. This is where my 2 years and 2010 plan concerns crop up. And if you let Kurt walk, we have some serious problem with Oberto/Bonner being our Center rotation.

    You said they are a running team (7 seconds or less). You said they brought in Shaq to run because you can not run without the ball. I asked you how were they running in 7 seconds or less before Shaq.

    So you've gone from money being the issue to years.

    Shaq for Marion did not allow them to run more or just as much. It slowed them down, as will their new found commitment to defense.

    they did when amare got the rebound

    they also got shaq to help guard duncan
    so amare would not have to foul out trying to guard duncan
    so they could get the rebound and run

    We have said that. We also have thought that maybe the F.O. thinks Gist is a better fit.

    At this point, i would be happy with Ricky Davis but he will probably get a large portion of a MLE from someone.

    Maybe for 2 years on the LLE... probly should get off the crackpipe.

    Mo Evans is probably a better fit anyway...

    The only thing that is a problem in this scenario is that KT is an unrestricted free agent. That means if he feels indebted to the team that gave him that offer or likes what they told him, he does not give the Spurs a chance to match.

    Other than that, the Spurs are in position to pay KT around 6M per year, sign some more players with the MLE/LLE and sign 2 rookies for the minimum rookie contracts and just be under the luxury tax threshold
