How far over would we have to be to get the mle?
They're definitely close. In my head, it seems they're less than a million over. They would have been VERY close had they signed a min guy instead of Boban.

About 356 days.
Signed strictly to push KA.
I thought the Spurs would have gone for Jarell Eddie over Simmons, as Eddie is the better 3-point shooter. Damn.
Yeah but all them damn TOs...
I was kidding. Trying to play off my mental lapse with the corresponding time of my post that was wrong.
LaLanne is not making the team.
Thx man
we were under the cap so we cannot use the mle.
Simmons is also a versatile 2-3 btw, so he'll most likely man the backup 3 spot in limited minutes during the regular season.
So has Reggie Williams been cut officially? Still hoping his contract can be a trade asset to get that backup SF. Perry Jones to help OKC's salary dump would be ideal.
He had to be cut if the numbers of Bobi getting 2M are true.
I don't understand all the Eddie love. He's looked pretty average in SL with Indiana. Maybe a decent TC option like Bertans. But hardly a guy to lock up because of his amazing performances this summer.
We'll see. Shrug, hopefully a larger Gary Neal. Otherwise, I'm not impressed.
Cotton signed in the spring for 2 years and was waived in October. Same will happen to this guy unless he plays insane. He is just a placeholder.
I think I was subconsciously blocking that column out but yeah that's pretty bad.
Still worth throwing him out there, see if he can make any thing happen on the defensive end.
With only min contracts available, you'll be lucky to find anyone that can help out of the gate, West notwithstanding.
Cotton had $20k guaranteed or something big difference from $525k.
This dude's entire first season is guaranteed. Spurs obviously saw something in him
Well then maybe they will bury him in Austin, and use his spot to cut when its time to sign vet buyouts next spring. Fills several needs till then, and who knows maybe he will impress.
Meh, definitely want the Spurs to sign a pure 3 pt shooting wing. Doesn't matter how terrible he is at other things, as long as he can knock down 3 pointers and play average D. He's not shooting well so far in summer league but shot well in Austin last season. Might be promising if he can keep practicing his 3's.
You, I spent like 20 minutes trying to find the rule change.
Good joke then ������
I still think they add one more wing and go into the season with just the 5 bigs they now have on the roster (Duncan, Aldridge, West, Diaw, Serbian Monster). The 15th spot will be kept open and another big can be added (looking at you Bonner) off the street if the need arises. Also a good idea to keep a spot for the buyout market after the deadline.
The 14th spot should be used on a wing. Heres why:
If the Spurs don't add a wing I'm very leary about their prospects going forward. Consider who they currently have.
Leonard - Stud. Big minutes. Occasionally gets banged up.
Green - Stud. Big minutes.
Ginobili - Solid. Needs his minutes controlled (20 MPG?). Will be rested a lot throughout the season also
Simmons - Good street prospect. A lot of ??? around him.
Anderson - Austin-bound. Cannot be counted on to play minutes that matter
Mills - Will play some 2. Will always be undersized when not the lead guard.
McCallum - May play some 2. Also will be undersized if not the point
Considering this, a multi-week injury to any of Leonard, Green or Ginobili could be pretty devastating. This is only compounded by the fact that Simmons is basically an unknown and Anderson has very little real-game usefulness right now. Mills and McCallum can be subbed in to play some 2 at times. But going small always requires other factors to make it a successful strategy. And considering that Parker is also likely to miss some time with rest and controlled minutes distribution it might be "robbing Peter to pay Paul" if we lean on the PG's to supply 2-guard minutes regularly.
A good balance of a young, developmental wing (AKA, Simmons) as one of the wing signings and then a veteran (AKA, Rasual Butler) as the other is probably a decent strategy. That being said, if the team really likes Simmons and is committed to him already, then having an open compe ion in training camp. We've brought in vets like Corey Maggette before. Sign a couple of them up along with a Dairis Bertans and a Jerrell Eddie. Give the winner the roster spot.
Points: Parker, Mills, McCallum
Wings: Leonard, Green, Ginobili, Simmons, FA Training Camp Standout, Anderson
Bigs: Duncan, Aldridge, West, Diaw
VERY Bigs: Marjanovic
