Spurs can’t sign anyone else with 1 or more years experience w/o going into the tax

Mods pin this so maybe people can learn what’s going on and “why don’t Spurs sign Player X???”

Spurs are barely below the tax line with 1 roster spot open. (~$2M)

The only player they can sign right now without going over the tax line is a rookie with zero years experience.

They are staying below the tax line on purpose because of how punitive the repeater tax is, and the roster will be super expensive in years to come. If a team is over the tax in 3 out of 4 seasons, they pay a repeater tax.

So, the Spurs are not signing players X, Y, Z. They will likely keep this spot open well into the season until a veteran’s minimum contract is prorated enough to fit under the tax space.
