Splitter deal = 3 years, $10 million ??

We're re-signing Money Mase. You heard it here first...

If it's true Spurs have still $2.7M left on their MLE. They could go after a good SF with that money. They could also spend $500K to ink Ryan Richards to a 3 years deal

They can sign Richards for 500k and the remaining MLE would still beat the LLE. GENIUS!

He got max raises (8%).

A $10.9M max raises contract is:
Year 1: $3,364,198
Year 2: $3,633,333
Year 3: $3,902,469

Thanks Bruno. I was just going with the rounded numbers, which yielded slightly different results.

If year 1 is indeed $3.365 million, then that leaves almost exactly $2.4 million to work with.

Are you legitimately revealing something you heard from a source, or just trying to scare us?

Thanks Bruno

Splitter's contract with Spanish league's Tau Ceramica payed him $3.5 million a season.

Only TPark has sources. I'm just trying to scare you all.

Glad to hear it. Your fake sources are legitimately scary.

[Juanobili]

So they signed Tiago before RJ and Bonner? Nice... now they have an idea of who else they can bring in with the money left over

[Danny.Zhu]

Thank you Tiago.

My apoligies as I probably missed this in a previous thread but can someone tell me why Splitters salary has to come out of the MLE?

[Blackjack]

Well done, jaffers.

Splitter was a first round draft pick. Once three years had passed since his draft date, the Spurs were allowed to pay him more than the rookie scale. In order to do that, the team had to use cap space (didn't have any) or the MLE.

It's too much to come out of anything else.

so are we taking a chance on T Mac

Please if some cap gurus can enlight me on this.

If Splitter deal is finally structured as 3.03, 3.33, 3.64 for the 3 years. Does all of this come out of the MLE?
I ask because by the rookie scale contract exception, we could have signed splitter to a contract worth 0.7823, 0.841 and 0.8997 for the first 3 years without counting against the MLE.

My question is, does the total ammount of the count against the MLE or only the difference between the contract given vs the Rookie Scale Contract for a 2007 28th pick???

It all counts against the MLE.

The full $3.4 million for this season counts against the MLE. Spurs missed their chance to sign Splitter to lighter rookie contracts by letting him brew in Spain.

The MLE is given to each team over the cap (or under the cap by less than the amount of the MLE) each year for a new player signing. As a new free agent, the 3.4 million given to Splitter will only count against the Spurs' MLE amount this year.

Next year, Splitter will be another contract on the books. Thus, it only factors into whether the Spurs will either be under the cap and have cap space to spend (less likely), or will be over the cap and have a new MLE to use (more likely).
