Have you seen the money getting flung around this summer? It's crazy. Every time I think it's about to chill out, some stupid team comes in and throws $5 million a year at some scrub.
The unguaranteed contracts don't add up to much more than what the MLE remainder is worth.

i think it could give more than 4 million in a trade!
Hairston+Gee+Temple+Jerrells = $3.1 mil.
762,195 * 3 + 854,389 = 3,140,974
3,140,974 * 125% = 3,926,217
3,926,217 +100,000 = 4,026,217
it could give 4,026,217$ in a trade!!
In fairness, most of the money throwing around is hitting younger, higher ceiling athletes that have proven themselves (and some never will).
With a few exceptions, teams have been a little more disciplined when it comes to retread veteran role players.
Would love him or Josh Howard as a backup, but at this point it seems more likely that we develop Gee and Hairston. If that doesn't work out we can always get someone via trade.
Brain fart on my end. You're correct.
I could see the Kings signing Butler. I'm calling that now.
Don't they already have Donte Green who is a similar player to butler?
surely it would be a terrible idea giving up all 4 of them just to get a 30-year-old who won't be starting?
I agree with you that it's not a very likely scenario, but capwise it would work.
him and Nachbar are the last 2 SF available, hopefully the Spurs can sign one of these 2 players.
Also hopefully the Cavs don't go after Butler now that they struck out with Barnes.
Butler is going to Cleveland, imo.
he is going to make his "decision" soon, according to his twitter

Clippers got Ryan Gomes for his place. And they also have the draft pick, Aminu. They are high on Aminu.
I don't think Butler is going to get back to LAC.
Teams I've heard are interested: Bulls, Celtics, Cavs
Hopefully the Spurs are in the mix

I refer you to @KCJHoop @ace3g: @ChrisMannixSI hear anything about Rasual Butler, said on his twitter today he will make his decision soon

hopefully this doesn't mean he is going to the Bulls,
We have re-signed RJ, so there's no way we're also going after Butler. The backup SF will be Hairston or Gee, and so it should be. Give the kids a chance to play and develop.
My hope was for Butler as the starter, and I reckon he'd do a better job than RJ will do, but the FO went for RJ, so what can you do but hope for the best?
The salary cap is $58,044,000.
Take RJ out of the equation ...
... and you get $58,070,000 (salary cap: $58,044,000)
That was the catch-22 with RJ. For as flawed as he might be and for as much as I've been critical of the guy, the Spurs would've been left with Malik probably starting at the 3 -- and God knows I love Malik but I'm not delusional. A lot of it's tongue in cheek, even if I am a fan and do believe in his ability to play a role and be a real contributor to the team.
Butler made $3,945,000 last year. The Spurs couldn't match that with what's left of their exceptions had RJ went elsewhere. And maybe the opportunity to start for the Spurs would be tempting but I find it hard to believe that a player of his age is looking to take less on a team that's not viewed as a contender by a lot of players. If the Spurs could throw the cash and a starting spot, then I'd say there's a chance. But they don't have the starting role now and they were never going to have the cash whether RJ resigned or not.
Lisa Dillman: Clipper news: Drum roll please ... Rasual Butler returning to Clippers next year, according to sources of reallisa
Lisa Dillman: Should clarify one of those last tweets. Butler returning NEXT season, let's not jump too far ahead. I mean, gotta take it season by season.

He's going back to the Clippers, reportedly. They actually have money.
Sure do...and we have Big Contract in the second year. No need for scrubs like Butler.
damn, you got my hopes up, I didn't even consider the Clippers a team interested.
Oh well on to the next SF FA
