Official 2021 Free Agency Day Thread (Begins at 5PM CT)

Yes, he’ll have to get league clearance because of the heart condition. It’s against NBA rules for a player to die during a game. Or even in practice, probably.

But if he can get clearance, there will be teams who would open a roster spot for him. The NBA makes it financially attractive to sign vets of long service, for one thing, and also he’s a “name.”

It would be a touching moment if he can get that twenty-thousandth point, and he can wave to the crowd, and everyone cheer. I don’t mean with the Spurs tho.

outside the medical concerns, i'm just wondering who could use him. and which of these teams he would consider. i'm guessing he would want to be a part of a contending team again. the mavs, maybe? would the blazers welcome him back? LMA may have to wait for more deals to get done before seeing who would like to have him as a serviceable big for certain situations.

Woj said 6pm

Nba.com says 12:01 also. Think woj made a typo

With Ben Simmons, it's likely he just missed them...

Probably. But then again, he does strike me as a guy who doesn’t care so it’s also feasible that he deliberately ignored the calls.

No official announcements yet on any of the signings on any of the Spurs pages

the day the earth stood still

i think we'll know more at about 11:01 AM tonight (while we're watching the gold medal game and reading over the thread comments about the summer league).

grayson allen was traded to the bucks

[Degoat]

I’ve seen some official announcements, just nothing from the spurs

[Joseph Kony]

That means they’re getting moved?

Means the Spurs are probably working on finalizing the details of the trades before actually signing anyone. I'm sure there's an order they need to do it in to maximize space

Cheaper DiVincinzo ... Divo getting moved so they don't extend him looks like.

[Degoat]

Will the spurs have the MLE to use? I saw one report saying that’s what we used on Zach Collins

Yes, extremely important to make sure all the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. Get the order wrong and everything falls apart too.

unless we are operating above the cap, i dont see it

If they do the order right, should get the Over the Cap MLE.

Spurs probably offered Forbes the full MLE for 3 years

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs don't have the MLE cause they under the cap

[bluebellmaniac]

Depends on the order of the deals.

Depends on the order of the deals.

How? They have to use capspace on McDermott and Hutchinson.

[Atl Spur]

It’s funny to hear everything I say repeated with a twist... moves await

[timvp]

Hopefully we get some contract details soon, tbh. Zollins' deal is a lot better if there is a lot of unguaranteed money in it. I'm also hoping Jock's second year is a team option and not a player option.

And yet with $50 million to spend the Spurs managed to sign below MLE talent.

[Mugen]

And yet with $50 million to spend the Spurs managed to sign below MLE talent.

Spending top dollar on mediocre at best FAs while drafting 2nd round talent with your lottery pick. If you don't like that, you don't like Spurs basketball
