Can't we take a day off?
Well Spurs decided to stand pat after the trade deadline, doesn't mean they can't look at the buyout options like last year (Diaw).
Also Donte Greene is still available and linked to the Spurs in workouts and one of the teams interested.
Can't we take a day off?
Who are some candidates? Big guys in Dallas?
Luxury tax implications make this very unlikely.
Drop Blair. He obviously has very little interest. Green at this point is better than Blair potentially.
But is there even anybody worth mentioning that may get bought out this season?
Spurs would obviously have to remove Blair from the team. It's not like people really want him.
Probably, but just creating a thread so when that time comes, people have a place to post news/updates.
Unless he is claimed off waivers, the Spurs can't get rid of his salary and they're right up against the tax line right now.
Gotta have a roster spot first.
The Spurs are too close to the LT to waive a player and gamble on whether another team would claim them.
Good point. If no one wanted to trade for him, it's highly doubtful that anyone would pick his ass up.
I thought we would've needed to get rid of someone in order to add anyone else?
@JMcDonald_SAEN: With roster at max 15, Spurs gonna have trouble doing the bought-out FA thing. So close to luxury tax, might not have been option anyhow.
Spurs only have $750K left, after that luxury tax kick in. 750K for 1/3 the season, will K-Mart consider that?
Spurs have enough space below the tax to waive a player and sign someone for the rest of the season.
The only candidate to be waived/bought out is Blair. I don't think Spurs will do it on their own but if Blair wants to be freed, Spurs will grant his wish.
Saying that, I haven't heard of a single player available or who could be bought out, that would make some kind of difference for Spurs.
Good thing we used our last roster spot on Baynes.
It shouldn't. The Spurs are about 600k under the tax line. That's enough room to fit a pro-rated minimum deal, maybe even two by the time the deadline hits.
Good to know that the option exists.
I thought they were much closer to line after the Baynes signing. I stand corrected.
Jermaine O'Neal is the only mildly interesting name I've seen so far.
KMart will probably go to Miami after the Pittman trade.
I think Donte Green if he were available would be a good one to bring in early for early evaluation before the summer. Spurs have been good about this in past seasons recently.
We were all thinking they would be back when it was reported that Baynes would get a four-year, $3.2 Million deal. But his minimum deal only ended up using 240k if I recall correctly. So the Spurs were able to save most of that space.
