No way, because the Spurs are already over the cap. All they have available is the mini-MLE of $3mil.
Dalembert's is getting $15m over 2 seasons. Could we offer him that?

No, not even if they had used the amnesty on RJ.
Sign & trade would've been an option though, right?
Eh, I think Splitter is pegged to play his minutes and Dice's minutes from last year -- so barring injuries it should be about the same really.
argh, guys I'm not stupid!
It was a rhetorical question intended to point it out to the people asking why we weren't in for him!
There is no way to defend the lack of quality big man depth on this team as Duncan winds down is career. The guy should be playing 20MPG against teams, 25ish against the ok teams and 30 max against top flight teams.
But with this cluster of a big man situation the team has gotten itself into, he will need to play more minutes for the team to be compe ive.
Houston has a lot of depth at the PF/C position
P Patterson
J Hill
L Scola
M Morris
H Thabeet
with the addition of Dalembert they might let someone go
It's tough to decipher sarcasm and sometimes even well-intended rhetorical questions in written form. No harm - no foul.

Just about every SG drafted in the 2nd round (that's why they're drafted there...mostly shooting specialists who weren't good enough to crack the 1st round)
it's amazing how many want the Spurs to sign some "magical" center - like one's just gonna fall from the sky.
You've gotta give up pieces to get pieces. Who would you rather have - a 3 pt shooting backup PG/SG or a backup PF/C who can give the only 2 bigs we have some rest?
Isn't Anderson supposed to play a more prominent SG role?
If you're not gonna trade Neal, then who? Who else on the team is enticing enough to some other team to make a trade? Blair? RJ?
C'mon man...
according to Twitter, Chuck Hayes has been cleared to play, sign him now Spurs!!!
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Agent for Chuck Hayes issues statement saying doctors at the Cleveland Clinic examined Hayes and say, "..He does not have a heart problem."
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Hayes met with doctors at clinic, and "their recommendation is that the can continue to play professional basketball without any concerns."
I hope the Spurs have been on the phone with him but I doubt it.
Now that the Rockets have signed Dalembert I doubt he returns to Houston. Can the Kings sign him again even though they voided the first contract?
Just happy to hear he's healthy and can resume playing basketball.
Marc J. Spears: Agent Calvin Andrews tells Y! Sports Sac frontrunner to sign Chuck Hayes, but Hou, SA, Minny in mix too. Decision likely to come after Xmas.
He'll probably sign with the Kings then. I know he was hoping to be near home again.
I don't see Houston as an option but I like that the Spurs are at least in the mix.
WojYahooNBA Adrian Wojnarowski
Houston would've had interest in revisiting a Chuck Hayes deal, but Sam Dalembert signing takes them out of running.
DeShawn Stevenson
Adrian Wojnarowski: As reported by NY-NJ outlets, DeShawn Stevenson agrees to 1-year pact with Nets. The deal will pay him $2.5M for the season, source tells Y! Twitter

Stephen Graham
The Nets announced this morning they have waived 6-6 swingman Stephen Graham, whose $1.1 million contract would have become fully guaranteed had he been on the team's roster on Christmas Day, when the NBA season opens. Graham, who signed with the Nets as a free agent prior to last season, averaged 3.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 59 games (28 starts) last season. The six-year veteran has averaged 4.0 points and 1.8 rebounds in 239 NBA games. Newark Star-Ledger
LOL you can't compare Neal to players who've never set foot on an NBA floor. Tell us the 3 point specialists from the 2010 draft, that was the question.
I remember hearing that Joel Pryzbilla was going to make a decision about his future after Christmas. Has anyone heard anything more about him? Could the Spurs have possibly been in contact with his reps?
The Spurs should offer Blair, Green and a 1st for Patterson, Adrien and a 2nd. For a team obsessed with compiling as many trade assets as possible to land a big star, this would only add to their collection. Patterson is a better prospect than Blair, but not by a landslide. Throw in the Spurs 1st and it would be two assets for one. I know they like Patterson, but with Dalembert signing and Morris looking worthy of rotation minutes immediately, it's going to be difficult to find consistent minutes for him.
Just going up on ESPN online: Sources say Suns have waived Mickael Pietrus, who has guaranteed salary of $5.3 million this season
