By re-signing Harrison Barnes and extending Julian Champagnie, the Spurs are officially operating "over the salary cap".
Don't panic! This actually unlocks the NBA's best built-in "spending coupons" to target outside free agents starting tomorrow:
1️⃣ Mid-Level Exception (~$15.1M): Can be used to land a high-end starting forward or split between multiple rotation players.
2️⃣ Bi-Annual Exception (~$5.5M): A separate bonus bucket to snag a reliable veteran contributor.
Bottom line: The front office kept future books completely clean while maintaining the financial firepower to add major impact to the rotation next to Wemby.
Because we don't know the new Julian Champagne deal is structured. The following is a rough estimate of where things stand:
Michigan Legend Braylon Edwards REACTS to Dusty May leaving Michigan for The Dallas Mavericks 👀
“It was a deal that would have made him the HIGHEST PAID Head Coach in college basketball, he (Dusty May) didn’t want that.”
2 years before Dusty May arrived:
• 18-16 record… No March Madness
• 8-24 record… No March Madness
2 years since Dusty May arrived:
• 27-10 record… Sweet 16
• 37-3 record… National Champs
Dusty May to the Mavericks.
This is truly a massive loss for Michigan.
Last coach to leave college football for the NFL: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
Last two coaches to leave college basketball for the NBA: John Beilein (Michigan), Dusty May (Michigan)
Michigan is either REALLY good at hiring coaches
Or really bad at retaining them 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Kevin O’Connor’s mock draft has the Spurs taking Chris Cenac Jr at Pick 20:
“To me, adding another front court player that can play next to Wemby is important. And if that front court player can space the floor allowing Wemby to play inside, that is of the utmost importance..
And Cenac gets the nod here - he’s a very perimeter oriented big man, 6’10”, with good length. Should project long term as a good defensive player..
I think for the Spurs you’d be taking a guy that was formerly projected in the top 10.. potentially a steal for the Spurs.”
