    But it also gives them little roster flexibility to take a flier on some kind of D-League prospect or maybe even bring aboard a guy like Dorrell Wright without having to give up any assets.
    Spurs can't get Dorrell Wright without trading a player like Finley.

    Now, I agree Spurs get some flexibility. Spurs could try some D-League players with 10 days contract, sign a vet PG (Antonio Daniels) or a project player like Rashad McCants.

    IMO, they will keep the roster spot open to save money and wait until the deadline to see if an interesting vet will be available.

    Hollinger:

    The Heat can offer anyone the $951,066 he'll have left on his contract on trade-deadline day to take Wright off their hands, likely adding a sweetener for the trouble (for instance, either more cash or one of the two second-round picks they got from the Hornets on draft day last year).
    Help me out Bruno, the way I've been made to understand it, the Spurs would only need a roster spot and a willingness to take on the salary..

    Spurs are over the cap, they need a trade exception big enough to take Wright salary ($2.9M). Spurs don't have that trade exception.

    Thanks, that's what I thought to start but was told something different (might have just misunderstood).

    If the Spurs were able to save some money, then this is a good deal all around.

    Good luck Haislip.

    And it's nice for Spurs to have a team in Greece willing to pay salaries of Spurs' garbage (Haislip and Spatula).

    Spurs cannot take another player on via trade without giving another player up because they are over the cap. The only way they could get Wright without a trade is if he is waived.

    Most definitely, although I think Span could have helped if his head was right. But this Haislip thing is a very nice bailout on a move that did not workout.

    Highly unlikely if you are talking about this year. I would say impossible. For next year, yes if they trade RJ and get an expiring back.

    What about if they trade one player for two -- could that be done with a full roster, or is it now a new option?

    I think there are too many people reading way too much into this.


    Haislip was never going to play for the Spurs. The Spurs had an opportunity to cut him and his salary, its a no brainer.

    That's probably all it is and not a precursor for anything else.

    You were wrong about Haislip and I was right. The forum never should have trusted you as a source of European basketball.

    They can certainly trade one player for two. That is what the extra roster spot opens up. That could not be done before unless they waived someone before the trade. Now they can just do a 2 for 1 trade.

    It has nothing to do with Spurs moves. Panathinaikos has injuries at PF spot so they hired Haislip for the backup PF position for next month to cover for the injuries.

    They offer money to Spurs and they take it and Haislip can get maybe 15 minutes for time being in PAO. Nothing more to this than that.

    If Hailsip has accepted to forfeit the rest of his salary, Spurs have saved $785,044.
    Is that before lux-tax implications? Meaning is it twice this amount?

    Spurs could take a player if he is on a minimum contract. Teams don't need a trade exception or to be under the cap to take these players.
