Should the Spurs participate in the upcoming bidding process?
Can the Spurs do the same with Bonner, please?
Please, no more old guys. He'll be 33 by next season...pass. Of course, better him than Bonner but I'd rather get Tyrus Thomas if the Bobcats cut him loose.
I'll take him for a 1 year contract for the vet min... let Cubes eat up the rest of the contract...
Um tired as I'd 6'9 mutha as! He's 7ft, sign him up. He can guard Byumn or Howard.
I wouldn't mind another 7ft Center on our roster..pop can mix and match lineups for different teams...Haywood Duncan, Duncan Diaw, Haywood Diaw when Duncan goes to bench. Our only shot against the okc's and mia's is to slow the game down....we will NOT outrun and gun them. Haywood is long and can rebound...we don't need any offense from him
Even if they wanted to bid on him, the Spurs are way over the cap, so they're not allowed to.
Spurs have a vet minimum sized trade exception from trading TJ to the Warriors. That's all they can bid. Chances of a vet min bid getting Haywood are almost zero.
It worked out well for us the last time we picked up a player Dallas amnesty'd.
More Geriatric nonsense smh.
Cuban owes this guy another 27 million dollars. That is hilarious.
exactly... not sure what the vet min looks like nowadays, but if Cubes foots $20+ million and the guy plays for us, I'll take it... plus you make it a 1 year deal so if he ends up at the end of the bench, no big deal
Chances are he won't make it to free agency. The team that wins the bidding will have him for three years.
Mel, teams over the cap can bid on amnestied players by using exceptions?
Trade exceptions. Learned that from Bruno a few days ago.
So you can use Trade Exceptions? David Aldridge just told me no
I thought you could use TE's too, even if over the cap, for amnestied players so now I am confused.
Neato
Logically, I wouldn't think a team could use a TE to get an amnestied player; the player isn't being traded. Looks like Larry Coon will probably be the arbiter here.
Maybe Bruno was wrong. Coon doesn't mention TEs in his section on the amnesty:So you can use Trade Exceptions? David Aldridge just told me no
In order to submit a bid for a partial waiver claim, the bidding team must have cap room equivalent to the portion of their bid that would be charged to team salary in that season, plus the amount of any likely bonuses (see question number 72) for that season. If necessary, teams can create this cap room by waiving non-guaranteed players, but not by making trades. The team must make the cap room available immediately upon being awarded the amnesty claim.

I looked at LC's CBA and you can bid on a waivered player using a TE if it's the normal waiver process. It appears that if they are on waviers via being amnestied, you have to have cap space with no exceptions.
It is a crazy crazy world. A guy gets paid 27 million dollars to NOT play basketball for a certain team.
I work my ass off and get paid like 45 thousand a year.
Pretty ed up the cash that gets thrown around.
Bruno you are in troubbbbbblllllllleeeeeeee
That's fine as long as you acknowledge that an NBA franchise grosses $100s of millions and only has to hire maybe 100 people.
