So we have 15 on the roster right now (including Bonner): http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio.htm

I too don't see a future for Ayers and Daye, but I guess the coaches see something in them that we don't, or management don't see the point in moving guys who should be capable of holding down the 14th and 15th spots. Probably does mean we're not doing anything with the MLE though, unless some of the young guys are assigned to the Toros. Anyone tell me the detail on how that works with roster limits at the start of the season?

Players on the Spurs who are assigned to Austin still count towards the Spurs 15-player maximum roster. In other words, sending someone to Austin doesn't free up any roster spots.

Do the Spurs have 15 players already under contract, or is one of those Cotton's make good contract?
Because if so, then how can they honor Baynes qualifying offer without waiving and/or trading someone?

Cotton's is only partially guaranteed. It's a fair bet he will be waived out of camp unless he goes Gary Neal in the next couple of games.

I'm gonna join the club and be pretty bummed if Bonner and Ayres come back, but Baynes doesnt.

Teams can carry up to 20 players on their roster over the summer. They'll eventually sign a few more guys for training camp.

Must be down to 15 by the beginning of the regular season.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I'd like to see Baynes back.

Thank you both.

We currently have 15 including Bonner, Cotton and Baynes' qualifying offer.

Thank you both.

I don't think Cotton will make the team, he is destined for the Toros IMHO.

[Taking it to the Hole]

It's looking less likely that Baynes will be back in silver and black. I still do not know why they fully guaranteed Daye's contract? That just made no sense. Maybe they thought he would improve in his second year with us? Baynes is only going to get better and the guy knows how to set a screen, unlike Daye and Ayres. Cotton is just training camp fodder. He hasn't shown me much to say he is worthy of a spot on our team so the smart choice would be to sign Baynes and call it an offseason. RC has said that in Patty's absence that other players are going to have to step up so it looks like he is going to trust COJO to start playing to his potential. Seeing as there is nothing worth pursuing in free agency anymore, the Spurs may be in a better spot not having to use the MLE this year. Makes next year a lot more flexible assuming Duncan does not want to play for a couple of more years.

The Spurs have extended an offer. Baynes can sign it any time he likes.

[SpursFan86]

[tholdren]

If the spurs dont sign baynes, it would be a poor decision.

[ironman2886]

if spurs keep Ayres and Daye and lose Baynes.

[Taking it to the Hole]

Then he needs to get to signing! I would figure he would be a lock to re-sign but maybe another team is offering him more playing time, although I can't imagine who would be offering him that right now?

I think Baynes will re-sign soon, just my gut feeling.

Yes, you are obviously right. I wonder who HoopsHype missed, because when I looked at their list it looked right.

Oh well, however this shakes out the Spurs know what they are doing - that was recently made abundantly clear to any who doubted... for the 5th time!

I wonder if Baynes is weighing up a big money offer from Europe? Or has some NBA team offered him 9/3?

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

He'll resign. I think the Spurs will go up to 2.5 mil to sign him. I don't see a team offering half that.

It will be Daye or Ayres off the team, no doubt. When I saw those two place in the Summer league, it was obvious to me the Spurs want to fight for a spot. So far, Daye is in the lead. Cotton really had done bad since that 1st game.

Still would like the Spurs get Marion. Spurs need another wing defender to spell Kawhi in the playoffs.

[xmas1997]

Cotton is destined for the Toros IMHO because his contract is only a "make good" contract.

[BackHome]

Yeah both in the summer league you know that is not a good thing if you a vet and being "VolinTold" to play in summer league. To me no way can we keep Errors over Baynes and I really like what Green is doing I think he can play SF/PF.

Just offer Errors a assistant to the assistance coaching job.

I hope so. I wouldn't mind Marion if Daye and Ayres are off the team.
