    If the Spurs cared about maximum flexibility, they would not have extended White. When push comes to shove, there's little functional difference between the $50 Million they are currently slated to have and the $46 Million or so they'd have after this deal. You could easily make the argument that using their buying power now gives them a better shot at international free agents (since most NBA teams don't have the salary space to offer players mid-sized multi-year deals until the off-season) and that using some salary space this year, the team could save on future years. Like they could offer a $22M/4 deal that'd basically be a $21M/3 with a million for a signing bonus. They'd end up saving something like $1.5 Million a year in salary by using space that was going to expire anyway.

    I'm not saying there's a player who's worth that and who is also willing/able to come over. I am saying that if such a player exists, the Spurs should strongly consider making a move like that.
    There's a big difference between Derrick White and some dude that might play. I'd say that for a end of the bench type of player, that 4 million IS a big functional difference.

    Watching the Nyets with injury faking Blake Griffin (Pistons) etc is reminding me of what a joke the

    classy buyout

    of Softridge was.
