wade on the spurs for 10/11?

[ss1986v2]

assuming the spurs keep hill, mahinmi and hairston, and jefferson opts out, the spurs are on the books for just a shade over 41 mil. lets assume a cap of 55 mil (cap should drop a bit next year too). now we add in the min roster holds (about 500k each), and we now have about 44 mil on the books.

now we figure in jeffersons and manus cap hold. for jefferson, its the max salary available for a player with 8 years experience: $16,224,600. for manu, its 150% of his previous years salary, or just a shade over $16 mil.

so even if we were to renounce just one, we still have zero cap space to sign anyone. and even if we renounce both, we dont have enough to tender a max contract offer, which is what its going to take to convince any of the top shelf free agents to change teams.

Wade will likely take less than a max contract in 2010.

and id say that its highly unlikely he accepts anything less. we are going to have to agree to disagree.

I'm not even sure a package of TP+Manu will bring Wade to SA

^^^ parker and wade are the same age i dont see how tony and manu for him would even make sense for us.

It doesn't.

what other SGs are going to be free agents next summer?

I would like us to replace Mason with someone younger and better if possible

The interesting guy is T-mac. Tons of talent, getting old and really wants to shake that loser tag... I don't expect anyone to offer more than the MLE, due to his injury issues. Depending on his recovery from surgery, if I was running the FO I would be taking a peak. Him as a 20 minute a night guy Finley/Barry type guy would be absolutely huge
