![]() ![]() Given the Spurs’ relatively full roster, I don’t expect this to come into play this summer. Once the Spurs’ roster goes at or above 12, these roster charges are removed from their overall salary. If the number of players under contract plus the number of cap holds the Spurs currently have is under 12, then for each spot under 12 they are required to add a rookie minimum salary to their overall salary as an “incomplete roster charge.” This amount is projected to be $1,004,149 next season. Depending on what the Spurs do with their partially or non-guaranteed contracts, that could put the Spurs overall salary somewhere between $90-93 million with 13-15 players under contract. I do not expect the Spurs to make three first round picks in this draft, but if they do, the Spurs will need to add just over $10 million to their overall salary. They also own the 38th pick, but second round picks do not have cap holds. The Spurs still have a glut of guards on the roster and have the ability to add more during the draft and free agency.Īs previously mentioned, the Spurs currently own the 9th, 20th, and 25th picks in the 2022 NBA draft. ![]() My prediction is that the Spurs will let him walk in free agency. If the Spurs end up drafting somebody like Bennedict Mathurin or AJ Griffin with the 9th pick, it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that they are moving on from Walker. The Spurs could also wait to see what kind of offer sheet another team gives him, though if that gets drawn out too long it could potentially impact the Spurs’ ability to sign additional free agents. They will either renounce their rights to him, making him an unrestricted free agent or they will re-sign him so that his new contract is used in salary cap calculations. His cap hold of over $13 million should be higher than his expected salary for next season, so he will likely be one of the first decisions made by the Spurs’ front office. The only major decision from this group of players is Lonnie Walker IV. Stewart Jr., and Robert Woodard II, thus removing their cap holds from the Spurs’ overall salary. The Spurs may simply renounce their rights to Devontae Cacok, D.J. Two-way contracts do not count against the Spurs’ salary in terms of salary cap calculations. Joe Wieskamp is a candidate for a two-way contract. Most of these cap holds will be inconsequential in terms of the Spurs’ plans this summer. Additional cap figuresīeyond the player salaries already discussed, there are other factors that will affect the Spurs’ salary for the upcoming season. Keeping all four of these players would bring the Spurs’ salary up to $82.5 million with 12 players under contract. Keeping Collins and Jones, as I’m predicting, would bring the Spurs’ salary up to roughly $79 million with ten players under contract. That might be enough to retain them for one more season, but it will depend heavily on how the draft goes and who the Spurs are able to sign in free agency. While they both had their moments last season, neither of them are anything beyond depth pieces at this point in their respective careers. The decisions on Keita Bates-Diop and Jock Landale could go either way. ![]() It’s fair to critique his floor spacing on offense, but his gritty defense, ability to get to the rim, and incredible assist-to-turnover ratio make him the most likely to have his salary guaranteed for next season. Tre Jones did an admirable job in the backup point guard role once given the opportunity. With the combination of the flashes he showed coming off a major injury, the potential to have a full offseason to get into better game shape, and the fact that half of his salary is guaranteed for next season, Collins seems like a safe bet to have his salary fully guaranteed. Zach Collins is the only player with a partially guaranteed contract. Partially or Non-Guaranteed Salaries Current Roster ![]()
