Today naturally would have been the day to also announce the signings of the rest of the Spurs' free agency commit class, Leonard, Green, West, & Ginobili.
So what deal are the Spurs trying to pull? Between Reggie Williams' contract (non-guaranteed?) and cap space the Spurs could offer a salary dump to another team of some magnitude, before signing Leonard, Green, et al to their new contracts.
Who's out there on a $3.0 to $3.5 mil contract the Spurs could be looking to deal for?

Has to be a wing. Spurs only have 1 SF on the roster & one player with any length (all guards are smaller than most SF's - even if DG is capable of switching around).
After what we've seen from Kyle to start SL & with the little extra money, I would have to venture they are looking for that back up wing player either in FA or via trade.
Dorrell Wright? KJ? Rasual?
Matt Bonner and/or Jeff Ayres
Do the Spurs have that much space still open? Can offer someone ~$3M?
You didn't hear it from me, but we're looking for a legit center as our 5th big... mostly for the nights where Tim and West get rest.
JR smith
do it Pop
Per Bruno - if Spurs waive Reggie, they have 1.8M in cap space. If they trade him, they can take back about 2.5M.
Leonard, Manu, and West will all be signed OVER the cap, meaning after all moves are done.
They must have someone in mind. Tim took so little, even with the higher cap.
This is exactly what I expect from the Spurs.. Seems to fit
Hopefully a backup wing player..
The options at C are scarce, regardless, and the 4 rotation bigs are already set for the playoffs, I don't see them trading for a relevant C..
The perimeter is the weakest part of the team, right now, need either another shooter or defender(hopefully somebody that can do both, although those players are tough to find) behind Kawhi and DG..not only for production, but also for the nights where the Spurs sit Ginobili..
Most likely a wing at this point considering the latest PG acquisition. If I am not mistake they'd have about 2 million dollars, assuming they do the obvious and waive Williams.
According to Basketball-Reference, the following are in that general price range:
Terrence Ross ($3.553)
Matt Barnes ($3.542)
Nerlens Noel ($3.457)
Marcus Smart ($3.431)
Bojan Bogdanovic ($3.425)
Evan Turner ($3.425)
Quincy Pondexter ($3.382)
Anthony Morrow ($3.344)
Mike Scott ($3.333)
Andre Drummond ($3.272)
Randy Foye ($3.270)
Ben McLemore ($3.156)
Julius Randle ($3.132)
Meyers Leonard ($3.075)
Jeremy Lamb ($3.034)
Furkan Aldemir ($3.000)
D.J. Augustin ($3.000)
Jerryd Bayless ($3.000)
Anthony Tolliver ($3.000)
John Henson ($2.943)
Obviously, many of those are likely either unavailable or uninteresting.
^^I'd only take Bogdanovic, Pondexter and Lamb from that list, tbh..
Doubt Orlando would give up Harkless or Nicholson for nothing, but we can dream..
Maybe Philly could give up Covington, even after his solid season?
I wonder if the hawks would trade for scott..I've seen him defend the Perimter in Atlanta..not the worse, and he can shoot threes...But The spurs have enough bigs though.
Jeremy lamb would be nice. Doubt the thunder would do anything with the spurs.
Mike Scott ($3.333)
Bojan Bogdanovic ($3.425)
Matt Barnes ($3.542)
In that order....
would consider:
Nerlens Noel ($3.457)

Always been a Pondexter fan tbh.
Watch the Spurs sign Gigi Datome. Just keep seeing his name and can't help but envision a SpursTalk meltdown after they sign him.
Was just thinking Harkless. I would have taken McLemore, but obviously they would have done that if they could/wanted to with the other trade.
Bonner will probably be the 5th big. There aren't really any Centers left. Aldrich, Perkins and perhaps Bargnani, but they all suck. And for the wing I am sure the Spurs are searching for a guy that can shoot the 3. So I'd say Dorrell Wright would be a good option. And if they are looking for a defender then Prince.
I wouldn't be mad about Datome, actually..he sucks, but I think the Spurs are the type of team that could use energy players, Patty might be the only one on the team..so many games where the Spurs come out flat and uninterested, usually the games where Pop benches all 5 starters
Bazemoore.
Also, I don't want him..but fournier is expandable now with Hezonja drafted
Is Datome the awkward running dude that plays for Boston?
hustles tbh.
