As It Stands: Spurs Salaries

[timvp]

The only piece this team needs now is the elusive Long Small Forward.

He's not really that long but Ira Newble was waived by the Sonics today. He pretty much sucks but as a 14th man who could be called upon to defender stronger perimeter players, you won't find much better right now.

Spurs managing just fine

I've long thought the San Antonio Spurs were the best-run franchise in the NBA and maybe in all of sports. This season's cap situation illustrates why:The defending-champion Spurs' payroll is $67.3 million -- just $500,000 below that luxury-tax threshold that will make nine other teams pay that financial penalty to the league.

So the Spurs held together that championship core, and added a veteran big man (Kurt Thomas) at the trade deadline, and they still sidestep the tax. Sure, life is easier when you're building around Tim Duncan, but that is great management.
