    He's playing at about the level of Livio Jean Paul on offense, but leads the Austin spurs in rebounding and blocks. Haven't seen him play but that may indicate he's able to outplay LJP on defense. Of course, that wouldn't take much. Be nice if the Spurs brought him up for a short time to reward him for hard work.

    Costello is actually leading the team in rebounds and almost has as many blocks. I like how Brimah is developing but let's not go full Mensah-Bonsu on the guy. We'd probably be discussing Costello as much had he not missed a third of his games.

    A cap hold isn't a positive thing to have. It's just there. What the team would have are Noel's non-Bird rights which despite the name are a type of Bird rights and what the team used to re-up Pau last summer. They'd be able to sign him to a deal starting at anything up to 120 percent of his current salary, so a bit more than $5 Million. In a positive, his cap hold is smaller than you projected because SA wouldn't have his Bird rights. But we're talking room-exception money here. It's possibly still enough to keep him given what has happened with his stock this year.
    You are right, but I think $5 million could get it done considering how toxic he's been combined with the injuries. Anything that could both be a lottery ticket to improve the roster while also preserving the MLE sounds good to me.

    Spurs have a good relationship with Rich Paul as far as I can tell, they let Joseph off his restricted QO, and things with Murray have been good so far. He might see the value in keeping him with the Spurs and developing in the short term to be ready for a big deal when Pau is gone if he develops.

    I was worried about him at the beginning of the season he wasn’t getting much playing but that has slowly changed. One huge reason we could see his numbers go up is that White does a great job of getting into the paint and handing nice passes for easy dunks. Well I shouldn’t say easy as you know how many Spurs players have screwed that up Errors , Paul ext. I agree he is going to need another year of gaining muscle him and Murray better be lifting pals this whole summer. Take some damn protein shakes and Creatin for Gods sake. But I think he can make the team as far as getting some playing time next season I do love his blocking ability

    i would also also have to say that Castillo has played good and is a better rebounder and in all honesty he is better then LVg. The only problem he has is his height I think he is 6”9 or “10. Which is to small for a center.
