They didn't use the MLE.
There goes the remaining MLE amount.

The difference in signing a youthful player vs a below average vet is not rebuilding.
Jean-Charles was and is not an NBA player. Cunningham is. He's not getting waived and neither is Forbes. Paul probably is though.
As of right now, presuming Ginobili retires and Paul is waived, Cunningham is probably a slight favorite over Bertans for the 4th big spot . . .
Bigs: Aldridge, Gasol
Forwards: Gay, Cunningham, Bertans
Wings: Leonard, Green, Belinelli, Walker
Guards: Murray, Mills, White, Forbes
Obviously still need a third center.

Who's outscoring them?
Well I guess there's a chance that Jabari didn't get the number exactly right from his source. A minimum contract would be $2,393,887 and the remaining MLE amount was around $2.6 million.
If it really is $2.5 million it has to be the MLE or BAE.
There are plenty of younger bodies with size and at least some upside. It’s not a big deal, this year is likely a throw away year (even if SA can make the playoffs) somewhat.
I’m not upset at it, but don’t get why SA isn’t taking swings on even more youth when that youth will probably impact winning this year just as much as someone like Dante.
If that's all you want to get now, yes -- it is rebuilding.
+1 And can't forget Walker/Metu as well. As a fan, I'm glad they aren't blowing it up. You aren't always going to hit a home run in the draft.
SA didn’t guarantee Bertans 7M a year and eat into cap space next year to have him behind Dante.
Metu isn't getting signed at this point if the plan is to bring in cheap bench filler. for 1 year Okafor and Monroe are still very much available.
If cunningham starts at 4 spurs are really hurting
Is there anything y'all don't about?
He's a 15th man that will be in a suit all season. Really who gives a .
I really don’t get this. We have YEARS worth of data on Dante and he is like literally barely a replacement level player. He’s not someone that adds wins just because he’s older. He can and could have been easily replaced with an unknown youth and SA would be no worse off in the W/L column.
Rebuilding in not taking into account trying to win as many games as possible IMO.
Dante over someone younger would not impact that thus not rebuilding IMO.
Walker improved noticeably during summer league. Metu might actually get an NBA contract when all is said and done this summer. I was impressed by both.
At least he can play defense. Do you remember this ?
I don’t “only want youth”. It’s pretty clear that before this Dante signing that 50% of the roster is over 30 years old so SA does not just have youth. But when it comes to filling in the rest? Absolutely I take youth over a Dante even if it does not matter much.
Can’t be worse than Queen Joffrey
There are only so many young players you can realistically take on with those hopes. The Spurs already have those players on the main team. I can see their doing that with a big man, but not with people who are going to take Kawhi's minutes.
What? The players they already have are the vets. They have half the roster over 30 years old.
A journeyman placeholder to entertain on down years![]()
What the is a Dante Cunningham and what does it do?
Yep. Half. You're talking about players who will have two way contracts.
Cunningham's deal with the Spurs is believed to be for the veteran's minimum $2.39 million.
