Denver is pretty set on bigs. Especially with the emergence of Faried, Harrington being productive offensively and the combination of Koufos/Mozgov. I think they have a lot of depth everywhere else too and its only going to get better for them when Chandler comes back. Wouldn't be surprised if they were looking to take back expirings rather than another prospect like Blair.

Blair is an expiring, since I believe next year is either a team option, or possibly non-guaranteed. Anderson is definitely an expiring.
I thought the extension deadline had passed?
I was just talking about his triple double.
lol @ this DPG guy not knowing what "relatively" means.
I know what it means but when people are pairing it with "he's overpaid" it's the wrong use of the term and doesn't apply to Birdman having a small contract for a big man.
Also, even after re-signing Tim in the off-season (assuming that happens & at the rate most think) wouldnt the Spurs still have ~7-8M in cap space? If Lorbek commands a Tiago-like contract that will be about 3-3.5M, so Birds contract shouldn't stop that correct?
I'm not saying I want Bird although I wouldn't mind it, just trying to see where my math is off.
Right now if the team stays intact, we'll transition into the offseason with 51 million in the books. But in addition to signing Duncan (my guess is 2 years 20 million), we have to make decisions on our 1st round pick, TJ Ford, Danny Green and James Anderson. If we keep the pick, TJ Ford (or another veterans minimum pg) and one of Danny Green and/or James Anderson, I think we'll be right at the cap limit. I predict ~1mill for the pick, 1 mil for Ford, 3 million for Green ~1.5 for Anderson. That's potential 6.5 + Duncan's 10 which would bring us to 67.5 million. Luxury tax is 70 million so that wouldn't be enough for Lorbek (unless he really goes for a 2 year 5mill contract which I highly doubt.)
The good news is that we can amnesty RJ, Duncan has shown the willingness to be unselfish (hopefully he takes a 2 year 7 million) and let Anderson walk - depending on how he looks for the rest of the season.
Not sure your carryover figure is correct. Hoopshype shows $47M carryover, and the INCLUDES RJ, who will come off the cap when amnestied.
