I also left out Gorgui Dieng, as there simply aren’t enough roster spots available to make a reunion likely. Since he won’t command nearly that much in the open market, nor do I see him in the Spurs’ future plans, I have removed him from the list. Romeo Langford has a cap hold of nearly $17 million. With the Spurs at roughly $96.3 million in guaranteed salary and 11 players on the active roster, the Spurs will need to spend at least $26.1 million when filling out the rest of their roster. The minimum salary floor for next season will be $122.4 million. This is likely a non-starter for most teams, especially small market teams like the Spurs. Starting in the 2024-25 season, these teams will not receive any of the end-of-season tax distribution from the taxpaying teams. Finally, teams under the minimum salary floor by the start of the regular season will only receive half of their portion of the end-of-season tax distribution from the league’s taxpaying teams. Secondly, teams that do not reach the minimum salary floor by the start of the regular season will have to write a check to the NBA instead of the players. For one, teams must reach the minimum salary floor by the start of the regular season instead of the end. This strategy will now face far stingier restrictions and penalties. This allowed teams to stay far under the salary floor during the regular season for maximum flexibility (e.g., taking on bad contracts for assets). If they didn’t reach the minimum salary floor by the time the season ended, the only penalty was that the team was required to make up the shortfall by paying the difference to the players on the roster. The difference is that in the previous CBA, teams were not required to reach that mark until the end of the regular season. The minimum salary floor that teams must reach in the new CBA is the same as the previous CBA, which is 90 percent of the team salary cap. Adding his cap hit to the guaranteed salary increases the Spurs’ total salary to $96,316,739. Unfortunately, Josh Primo will still be on the books for next season with a cap hit of $4,341,600 because his third-year team option was picked up before he was waived. This leaves the Spurs with an active roster of 11 players for a total of just under $92 million in guaranteed salary. The date for the Spurs to waive Zach Collins has also passed, so his salary for next season is now fully guaranteed (no surprise there). While technically Victor Wembanyama is not yet a member of the active roster, his cap hold is identical to his projected salary, so he is included in this table since it’s a foregone conclusion he will eventually end up on the roster over the next couple of weeks.
