    Coon chat: Who has cap room for Howard?

    Who would be able to afford Howard next summer if he is an UFA. Dallas, Houston, anyone else?



    Larry Coon

    Here’s a team that always seems to fly just under the radar, and when all is said and done, people wonder “Where did they come from?” San Antonio potentially can have close to enough cap room to make it interesting.

    Other teams that could have enough space: Atlanta, Cleveland, Houston, Minnesota, Phoenix, Utah. Maybe Detroit, Milwaukee & New Orleans.

    I'd rather the spurs go after some ball players and let the drama queens stay drama queens.

    The Spurs could potentially offer a contract, but Howard isn't going to be willing to come here for the same reasons he won't go to 28 of the other teams in the NBA. He wants a big market, he wants to build his brand, ect. Money he can and will get anywhere he goes, its the other factors that are going to dictate where he goes, and SA doesn't fulfill them.

    Going to SA might help his image however. Instead of going to like Brooklyn, the fans won't boo him like they will other places if he struggles

    with manu/jax/splitter expiring for a total around 28-29 mil and the amnesty still up our sleeves (Hi Bonner) they would be able to make a max offer (or something very close to it) next offseason

    The Spurs only have that much cap space if they don't bring back Manu which is definitely not going to happen.

    That would require Manu to walk. Therefore, it's an impossibility. Family comes first in SA.

    no... I'd drop an old Manu that can never play a full season for the best Center in the NBA in a heartbeat.....

    Did you forget that we traded Bruce Bowen away for RJ?

    Also I think Leonard's development and how far the spurs get in playoffs could affect his decision. Although that's probably just wishful thinking. Tp Green Leonard Duncan and Howard would be a crazy Defensive and rebounding unit.

    the person asked said, "dallas, houston, anyone else?" so i assumed they'll have cap space. will they?

    So would I, but I'm not running the show and R.C. wouldn't.

    Larry Coon trolling SpursTalk.

    There's about a 1% chance that the Spurs will have enough cap space to offer a max contract. There's a much smaller chance that Howard would choose San Antonio if it could make the offer.

    NY or LA. One way or another, Howard will wind up in one of those two cities.

    Houston will and if Dallas doesn't, Cuban will work his magic to make sure they do.

    Dallas will have sufficient cap space. All their acquisitions this summer have one year left on their contracts except for Mayo, who has a player option that will be exercised if he has a decent season.

    Howard, no thanks. He's a great player, but we don't like drama queens.

    The spurs FO would be dumb asses to resign Manu with all that cap space.If anything Manu at his age and the wear and tear on his body and not able to play a full season should only be resign for a lot less. I have a feeling Manu is done after next season.
