It's good and bad SA doesn't have that much cap space. Now, no one expects them to spend money just because they have it. The crazy thing is as much as teams are spending they still have room to make smart moves
Like, they can offer a max bad contract but then absorb players for first round picks to get assets. Not that they would do that if they are trying to build a playoff team, it's just that they can.
Spurs are in a tough spot. Staying over the cap seems like a real possibility and I'm hoping they can just connect on one solid trade to improve - especially at the guard spot (I want Tyreke Evans - although losing Gordon hurts that chance).

I don't see a scenario where Spurs would allow themselves to go over the cap before their chance at using their 10-14 mil in space (14 assuming Duncan retires and spread within next few weeks). It's all about the timing of re-signing Manu, the signing of Bertans, Murray, LJC. Spurs are going to wait to do anything with them until they have made their addition via free agency IMO.It's good and bad SA doesn't have that much cap space.

Teague/Ellis/George/Young/Jefferson
Not sure how I feel about that starting lineup
Yeah I don't like just the text.
ing mozgov and his 6.3/3.3/0.4/0.8 got him $64M
Damn you woj

ESPN sources say Andre Drummond's five-year, $130 million max deal with Detroit, meanwhile, is done. Player option for Drummond after Year 4
Meh, not a big fan of Al Jefferson at all, but that contract isn't terrible considering some of the other stuff we've seen.
WTF are the Blazers doing? I'd take Crabbe over Parsons any day - meaning Crabbe should be your SF and Parsons is redundant and sends bad messages to your team. You don't keep both of those players. Howard is a locker room cancer. The Blazers were fun to watch last year but were lacking solid vets who could bring some poise and harmony to the lineup. They should just chill the out and stop going for big names.
Seems like a good deal considering all these other abortions being handed out.
Do we even know if the Blazers are letting their RFAs go? They could just be using their cap holds.
Jefferson will be a bench piece. Myles Turner is the starting center.Teague/Ellis/George/Young/Jefferson

They may be positioning to pick up some of the castoffs from teams who are clearing cap space and going after big fish, particularly depending upon how the meeting with Durant goes tomorrow.It's good and bad SA doesn't have that much cap space.

They'd have to renounce Harkless for sure and others if they sign Howard, Parsons.
these contracts
people who thought kawhi wasn't worth signing to a max deal
Hmm, that makes more sense. Turner is more of a spacer than Big Al, and Jefferson can provide some offense for the bench unit when things inevitably get bogged down without Paul George on the court.
They should try finding a good spot-up shooter who's effective off the ball to start at SG and move Ellis to the bench as well.
Welcome to Spurstalk.
I agree. If they stuck Eric Gordon or Courtney Lee at the 2 and Ellis came off the bench with Jefferson that would be really solid.
For all you Matt Bonner hating s.... He's an upgrade for you biotches right!?!
The spurs are meeting with Durant tomorrow
Not that stupid. Why would they meet with him then? If Durant is a no, Conley is option b. I'll tell you what is stupid, people wondering about batum as the missing link.
All these deals going down and Spurs just sitting there like...
The news about the Spurs contacting Kris Humphries didn't jazz you up?All these deals going down and Spurs just sitting there like...
