Now it's official. I've just signed my fourth contract with the Spurs for two more years. pic.twitter.com/7Q1U816eSw

official number ?

Good. That needed to happen first (or last) if the team plans to use cap space.

If Splitter signs his, then the option for the team to use cap space is pretty much done.

He beat Woj and other again. 5 minutes since he announced it and no other mention of it on my timeline.

Woj is good and all, but Woj finding out about Manu signing his contract before Manu does might be expecting a bit much.

I was thinking the same thing.

Good, even though hes past his prime i want to see our big three finish together what they started. Its been a great run and this pretty much means Tim most likely will play two more years. We were lucky to get Big Dave and Tim in the draft. Who knows if we will ever be in that position again to grab two super stars of that calibur. Even some of the most wealthiest franchices never have the opportunity. One more time baby!

Manu signing first fit with a cap space plan.

I'm not a capologist like you or Bruno, but is this the case because of his monster cap hold going away?

[clambake]

2 years 22 million.

Yep. Now his cap hold is replaced by his salary. They could have renounced him, which would have removed him hold completely, then re-signed him for what was left (essentially what they did with Duncan last year, but considering the cap and not the tax), but they didn't chose to go that route for a number of reasons.

I loled.

[Johnny RIngo]

Doesn't deserve anything over 5 million considering his injury history and rapidly declining abilities.

[timvp]

Manu signing first fit with a cap space plan.

Very true. If cap plan wasn't in play, you'd think Manu and Splitter would sign at the same time.

Hmmmm...

Hmmmm...

Then again this is a Manu tweet not a spurs announcement. It's entirely possible Splitter signed just before/after Manu and he's just not a twitter like Manu is
