During the NBA offseason, the San Antonio Spurs had a lot of money to spend and were required to meet the salary cap floor. However, instead of splurging on a popular free agent, they chose to make a number of trades. Despite this, they just managed to exceed the cap floor, which is set at 90% of the total $136 million cap.
The San Antonio Spurs are known for being frugal with their spending, but this can also result in some highly sought-after contracts. They currently have five players on rookie-scale deals and a few up-and-coming players signed to reasonable multi-year contracts. However, they’ve also made some trades in the past year that may or may not pay off in the long run.
San Antonio has a total of 18 players signed up for the next basketball season, but they must release at least three to comply with the NBA’s rule of having only a 15-man roster. One way to do this is to let go of some of their veterans, opening up spots for younger players to showcase their skills and abilities with increased playing time. Now, let’s explore the top five San Antonio Spurs who are not paid enough, beginning with the team’s longest-serving player.
