Only the $5.6-Million hold does.
minimum, you gotta be ing kidding me
Only the $5.6-Million hold does.
Spurs just don't want to go for guys at this point.
Can't wait to see the Manure fansthis, lol.
but, but his agent said he had a higher offer
Exactly...everyone assumed he would be getting more than $5M (which he deserves), and anything beyond that has no effect on the Spurs flexibility or options. Doesn't make a difference whether they are giving him $10M or $30M at this point since it is only for one year and the Spurs are already over the cap.
Might as well give one of the Spurs greats a nice parting gift...it's not like the money is coming out of y'alls pockets.
I feel bad for Jones. With the luck NO has, he'll be lucky to be able to walk at the end of the year. Definitely Portland 2.0 over there.
I... don't even know what to say at this point. I hope the Spurs at least spoke to him and he chose the Pelicans. Anything else besides that would be ing absurd.
Would've fooled me. Thought it did seeing as how everyone es about Parker making the same dough
Terrance Jones doesn't fit the System the way LJC does.
Can someone update me on Milutinov? I thought he was going to be on the SL team but I heard he was spotted at a game in the stands.
I mean, I don't know. With his level of play last year and the contracts that got handed out, I can't see how that is considered too much without being really literal down to the dollar (meaning and extra 1-2M really isn't a big deal).
This is similar to Tim's deal. You have to look at Manu's total money from last year to this year. The difference is Manu get's a bump compared to Tim because Manu is actually playing.
16M / 2 years = 8M per year for last year and this year.
Manu is probably going to see his minutes cut even more, so his per-second compensation will probably be up there with max players. If anyone seriously wonders if Pop is glad Duncan is gone (you know, because they have avoided anything Spurs related for two decades), then this should squelch that. Pop will lean on the Big Three until they're gone. There is no "well, they're getting older and less impact" in his thought process.
Acy gone
The only thing I can think of is that the team is targeting a specific player and thinks they are going to land him. No idea who that would be, though.
Next thing you know, DeShaun Thomas will have a deal with some random team.
We have one thing in common: I love Danny Green as well.
Thomas already signed in Turkey.
There goes Acy.
I agree somewhat from a raw basketball perspective. But you have to look at factoring in what Manu and Tim did last year enabled SA to do.
It seems very clear that SA said to both Tim/Manu that for taking less this year (potentially a lot less) we will make it up next year whether you retire or not.
So if the market for Manu last year was 2 years/16M but he could only get 2.5M last year, that factors into this.
But raw basketball wise, yes. However, I think everyone agrees that Manu basketball wise was worth 6M this year so the fact we know it's more than his cap hold anyways, really doesn't matter.
Spurs aren't going for anyone because they plan to re-sign Bonner.
Every player y'all bring up gets signed instantly.
I really hope Golden State doesn't take Ayres, he really fits what they need.
Same thing with Dedmon. Most of us wanted him but had heard nothing and then bam. I"m quite sure SA is targeting players they want and probably did talk to TJ.
There has to be something wrong with him. Houston didn't even extend a QO bc they were scared he would accept... He might have real injury red flags... I don't know anything about him but seems ridiculous unless there is a major red flag.
