With the Mavericks acquiring Holmes, drafting Lively II, probably being stuck with McGee and still having Kleber (combo big), that might be it for Powell.
He's a central casting Spur and other than his lack of strength, would be a near ideal candidate (rim runner, good finisher, defender) to fill the veteran big hole.
I don't like the idea of Lowry or Conley outside of a deal to absorb salary for draft capital.
Do it only if they never step foot in a Spurs facility or wear silver and black. Take them on to bundle inbound some future picks and maybe meet the salary floor and then cut them.
I do like the idea of targeting Micic, that seems like a perfect Spursy fit/type move.
Just bring back mills,poodle ,DjM and white. The le will be ours
Well suppose if you cut Lowry and someone picks him up in 48hrs you won't have his salary on the books anymore to meet the floor with?
I miss Derick White
Why would you cut either of them? It’s not like they’re washed like Luol Deng. They both have at least a few years of good ball ahead of them, shoot distribute and play D, and are good locker room guys. At the very least, you hold onto them until the trade deadline to see if you can get something for them from a contender.
Yep. Fans would've been ing about his age, but he would've been great to have now. I think someone like Bronny could be that guy if he get the expectations and heritage under control. Everything I've heard about him is that he's an extremely intelligent player who knows where to be on defense and is a "connector" on offense. I think if he were someone else's kid, folks would already be talking about him. Him being Lebron's son has cut both ways.
I really like the idea of Gabe Vincent or Seth Curry as an under the radar signing. Doubt it happens tho, spurs more than likely will use any roster spots on a big.
Kevin Love is who I always think should be a Spur. I think he’ll be a good vet signing.
If he's not retiring it's only to play for contender
While I am open to renting cap space for vet contracts, I am vehemently opposed to just signing old guys and burning our cap room without getting any return.
Up for Lowry if we can finagle a pick or couple SRPs. He can help for a year.
Conley or Valanciunas would be great. I didn't realize how cheap JV is. But they're not going anywhere (Conley) or would cost like a FRP at least (Val) and I don't want to do that.
I'm up for taking on salary ballast if a big trade comes, but this summer is the 2023 Damien Lillard version of the 2022 waiting around for Kyrie Irving/Kevin Durant to actually do something summer.
Still interested in taking Patty on his expiring and feeling out the Clippers for bailing on Nicolas Batum's expiring contract.
Apparently Valanciunas is on the block. Question is, can we get him for a couple 2nds? Also good to know that the Spurs were interested in signing Naz Reid, that definitely seemed like the right move
San Antonio was known to be waiting with a short-term contract for Reid and the hope of pairing him with Victor Wembanyama in the frontcourt, sources said. Now the Spurs will have to turn to other targets, perhaps someone like Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas, as New Orleans and San Antonio recently did business on offloading Devonte’ Graham’s contract, and the Pelicans, sources said, have since made Valanciunas available in search of more mobile, rim-protecting big men. New Orleans made one call, sources said, to Cleveland about obtaining Jarrett Allen. Another team that wanted to be in the mix for Reid was Allen’s Cavaliers, sources said. Cleveland would have needed a sign-and-trade avenue to acquire the talented big man. It remains to be seen if the Cavs will continue searching for other frontcourt reserve options behind Allen and Evan Mobley, or if the front office simply valued Reid that highly.

Wow, I 'd love Conley on that team, he's a perfect fit to set things up for and around Wemby and still is a very valuable player on top of a nice guy who would be perfect to mentor the kids... I mean give me Conley over Micic (who might barely be an NBA player) any day.
There's a huge bust probability with Micic and I don't see any reason why the spurs would be interesting to take that risk... Micic isn't a starter in the NBA, and maybe not even a back up... He would already be here and I do'nt know, outside of Sabonis for political reasons, how many euro players succeeded coming in the NBA at 29, or just after 25 (Manu was almost 20 years ago in a different era). I wouldn't touch Micic, and if he shows he belongs, good for him but he's not the guy to run that spurs team, with zero NBA experience and behind an already average PG in Tre...
Godam I hate when my posts are full of typos.
and here we go. We should be able to help Miami out here
According to two sources, the Heat has been giving thought to potentially using the waive-and-stretch provision on Lowry if Miami is unable to trade him, though a firm decision on that has not been made. That waive-and-stretch mechanism would allocate his remaining cap hit equally over three seasons.

this is probably my ideal scenario at this point. still disappointed we didnt wind up with a PG in the draft. id take a protected future pick swap
Adding Lowry and Valanciunas would be a pretty good offseason tbh. Both are on expiring deals and can shoot 3s, so they would help our spacing. We'd reach the salary floor easily and still have flexibility next offseason. And they are both still good enough to help our team be compe ive.
Bring back Danny Green!
As assistant coach please!
Those are good targets for the short term. Neither is a free agent, though, and the Spurs don't have enough salary cap space to absorb both straight up.
In fact, Spotrac shows the Spurs as being $4.4M over the cap. This includes cap holds of $17M for Langford and $2M for Dieng; renouncing them gives the Spurs $14.6M in cap space. Not quite enough to absorb Valanciunas ($15.4M), though waiving KBD gets the Spurs another $2M, and nowhere close to enough to absorb Lowry.
even with all the cap holds, spotrac shows the spurs having over 6 mil in cap space, dno where you are seeing 4.4 over
about 12 mil of the cap holds are attributable to wemby. currently signed players + wemby gets us to about 96 mil, leaving about 40 in space. we'd basically just have to send Birch out in one of the deals. im sure miami would prefer to take on and waive birch than stretch lowry
I got it from this site. It shows Cap Space of -$4.426,064, with Cap Holds of $56,268,085.

Their Active Roster Cap and Dead Money numbers match yours, I don't know why the Cap Holds are different.
thats interesting, since i was using spotrac too from this link
https://www.spotrac.com/nba/san-antonio-spurs/cap/
just doing a quick tally on the calculator, it looks like they basically added wrong on the page you are looking at when they come up with the 56 total. i manually added the cap holds on the page you linked and it only reaches 44 (doesnt include empty roster spot hold)
you're wrong, the Spurs can easily absorb up to 37 million
