And that's why you're the Sheriff. Even Omnipotence needs a break from time to time.
Btw, we are cap conscious, but with the best record in the NBA and an aging roster, ownership has shown it will go over the cap if it significantly increases their chances of winning another le.

The first minimum signing costs roughly $70,000 (prorated). The second would cost upwards of $2,500,000, in lost luxury tax redistribution. I can see why ownership would be wary of that.
Brewer fills a need for the playoffs and the future, while Ford fills a need while Parker is out.
Thats one way to look at it or you can get 2 players for 2.57 mil who can contribute immediatly and save the wear and tear on the 10+ mil players for the playoffs.
Mavs exploring return of Sasha Pavlovic:

Spurs can sign 2 players without going over the tax. They can even sign 3 players without going over the tax...
Unless I've missed something, McDonalds is (again) wrong.
, glad your around Bruno...How much can both be had without going over then?
Please oh please come to SA, Brewer. IMO, he's going to Boston. They all like going there.
Ford won't accept a buy out from Indiana unless he can recoup the money lost from the buy out by the team who signs him.
Signing Brewer with the LLE exception would cost about $4M to Spurs. I doubt Spurs offer Brewer more than a min salary.
Go after Brewer for sure and maybe Butler, and then Murphy or Ford.
Hopefully the Mavs are just going after Pavlovic.
I don't see why the Spurs would need to sign both. Brewer would get minutes right out of the gate, which would take away the minutes Manu was playing at SF and would free him up to help play PG by committee(with Hill and Quinn) until Parker returns.
How much does Novak put toward the luxury tax? Granted he wouldn't be here if we signed 2 players but maybe he forgot to subract Novak from the equation
He's an overrated defender, but he's still good in that regard, good size and energy..his offense is atrocious though, so I'm not sure how he would fit on this team, since the increase in offensive ability has been the staple to the Spurs' success, this season..
Nevertheless, I would still be content if the Spurs can sign him, he gives the team a dimension that they don't have on this team..it wouldn't hurt at all to have him in a potential Tony Allen role, I suppose..
Spurs are $985K below the tax including Novak 2 10days contracts.
Signing a player until the end of the season for the min would cost about $200K.
There is no problem for Spurs to sign 2 or 3 players in addition to the 12 players they still have under contract.
So the problem is that Brewer may want more than the minimum? Bibby might use money as a tiebreaker as well, considering he gave up $6 million.
Even if he's been, at best, an average defender, keep in mind he's been on crappy teams. It's very possible that he's also not had great coaching. All that could change under Pop and under the Spurs culture.
Remember, Bowen was a committed defender when he was with both Miami and Boston, but it was during his tenure in S.A. where he really, really blossomed.
With the skillset, potential and upside this kid has, he's more than worth the risk.
I'm betting he reunites with Noah and goes to Chicago.
And most likely and precisely the reason they are going after him.
But now they are reportedly also going after Bibby too.
So, the Mavs "hoard" all the players and you guys are clamoring for your Spurs to sign every FA under the sun. The hypocrisy here knows no bounds.
This.
Mark Cuban is going to open the wallet for this guy if he wants him. From what I understand, the Spurs can't even match what Dallas can offer, but they have to be willing to at least try.
I know this Spurs team is good and all, but with all the other moves being made, I'm under the opinion that standing pat may not be a good idea if you can avoid it. Especially with the latest string of injuries, another wing player like Brewer or Butler would definitely fill the growing need for a stop-gap, if nothing else.
Something like 95% of the players bought out before the March 1st deadline are then signed for the min. Signing them for more than the min, like Spurs did with Gooden, is the exception.
This is the Spurs forum , just go downstairs and you might feel alittle better.
hahaha @coreybrewer22 is getting spammed!
love it.
Decent offensive player who plays hard...an athletic wing defender wouldn't hurt
