Bad personnel news for Sandro

- Start date
hes more of a small forward but great 3 and D guy. great corner clip and plays 4 in a small ball lineup.
Mamu is a restricted free agent with a qualifying offer. balls in his court.

I think he comes back. I think Pop likes him (someone fell free to verify this) but in the grand NBA view, he can be replaced. I'm not sure there's a market for him. The blurb about him in the Athletic sums him up...
Yes there is a set cap in 7 figure range for one year, spurs can also match a restricted fa offer sheet
The qualifying offer is $2.7 million for one year.
It would be nice if there were some sources noted when stating Mamu's situation.
The only thing google turned up for me was when he was tendered the offer at the end of June.... like this one.

This is where I'd finally like to see some "nepotism" happen in SHU's favor and have Mamu get a shot with the Bulls and the SHU connection instead of trotting out impressive athletes like Jason Terry who are not very impressive at anything else.
Thanks.... so what happens if no one makes an offer to Mamu?..... does San Antonio keep him at the 2.7 mil? When they renounce him... what does that mean?Spurs' Sandro Mamukelashvili: Becomes unrestricted free agent

While not completely sure, he is now unrestricted free agent, can sign anywhere. If Spurs bring him back, they would not be bound by original $2.7 million qualifying offer. If you read article above, the Spurs had to pay him the $2.7 million if no deal was reached and they wanted to retain, they probably do not want to pay him that amount of money. Hopefully finds a new home in NBA.
By making the qualifying offer, that placed a $2.7 million cap hold on San Antonio's books. By renouncing Sandro's rights, that money can be spent elsewhere if the Spurs choose.
This is somewhat similar to what they did with Sandro last year. They declined his option and they brought him back at a slightly lower salary. FYI, the fourth-year minimum salary is above $2.2 million.
For further clarification, the Spurs currently have a payroll of approximately $152 million, which is about $12 million above the 2024-25 cap.
That is for 15 roster players plus cap holds on Gorgui Dieng ($2 million) and their No. 8 overall draft pick Rob Dillingham ($6.2 million). They also have cap holds for their two second rounds picks Juan Nunez and Harrison Ingram (Nos. 36 and 48 respectively). They also have a pair of two-way contract slots available (presumably for Nunez and Ingram). FWIW, the first-year minimum salary in 2024-25 is around $1.15 million which means a two-way slot starts at $575,000 (50% of the minimum).
The Spurs have until August 1 to guarantee contracts for Julian Champagnie ($3 million) and Charles Bassey ($2.5 million). They also have either the non-taxpayer mid-level exception ($12.8 million) or the bi-annual exception ($4.7 million) available to them. Whichever of the exceptions they choose to use -- if any -- can be divided between multiple players.

lol ball is no longer in his court.
as a sixers fan, i id like to see him there. the team will be decent on d and has an open position at the 4 for someone who can spread the floor
Nuggets gifted a trio of intriguing free agency targets from the retooling Spurs
The Denver Nuggets have had a lackluster summer as other contenders have gotten better but they can change that by pursuing three newly available free agents.
The Denver Nuggets should look to sign any of the Spurs castoffs.
Power forward Sandro Mamukelashvili was mostly out of the Spurs' rotation until late last season before getting a chance to prove himself. He didn't disappoint, averaging 11.6 points, while shooting 38.5% from three, and 9.7 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per game over the final seven games of the season.At 6'10, Mamu is a good shooter and rebounder, making him a nice fit at power forward for the Nuggets, but his most impressive skills are his ability to move without the ball and pass. He is terrific at sliding into openings when his defender looks the other way, and he could thrive playing next to Jokic in certain lineups as a result.
