Something like 13 mil, then 8 mil for the next two years.


They limit the decreases just like the raises, 7.5%, so a 3 year deal starting at $13 looks like $13 -> $12 -> $11

Still doubt we can "dump" EG too but that's just me. Not sure any team will want to pay that much for his skill set, even for a year.


I kind of think the Knicks would be a good match if they whiff on all of their FA targets. Gordon seems like a good fit for the "point guard" role in Phil's Triangle.

The working assumption nonetheless persists that the Spurs, with maestro executive R.C. Buford as their offseason point man, will manufacture at least $20 million in salary-cap space this summer to go after Aldridge -- or Memphis' Marc Gasol -- even if Leonard is maxed and Duncan returns.

How?

One scenario on the personnel grapevine gaining steam is the notion that the Spurs could elect to explore the possibility of dealing away Tiago Splitter to create more financial flexibility. Splitter has two years left on his contract valued at just under $17 million and is quietly regarded as a key contributor in San Antonio given how well he fits as a frontcourt sidekick next to Duncan. But if you're the Spurs -- and if the increasingly loud rumbles about Aldridge having San Antonio as the preferred destination atop his wish list prove true -- examining Splitter's trade market might suddenly become unavoidable.

I don't know if this means they'll be giving him away, but if you do it before July 1st, like on draft night, you could trade Asik for Splitter. Splitter isn't close to the rebounder Asik is but he's locked up at $8.5 per for the next 2 years competent enough on both sides of the ball and has the playoff experience factor that Pondexter and Cole brought to the team. You also help knock one of the teams ahead of you behind you with either the Blazers or Grizz falling back if they lose Aldridge/Gasol to the Spurs.
