Doing the math on the Spurs trading for Harrison Barnes. Even without his trade bonus, they can’t fit him in their cap space after only waiving Charles Bassey.
Unless they also cut Justin Champagnie, I think Chris Paul’s deal may come a little different than his reported $11 – 7:26 PM

Spurs waived Charles Bassey after acquiring Harrison Barnes
Bassey tore ACL in December. Will be 24 in October. Likely has to show he is healthy before he gets another shot, especially he is an undersized center to begin with – 7:19 PM

The Spurs waived Charles Bassey, per @MikeAScotto.
Bassey tore his ACL in December, but a potential big man flyer for a team to take on the veteran’s minimum. pic.twitter.com/nFfOHydURJ – 6:41 PM

San Antonio Spurs acquire Harrison Barnes from the Sacramento Kings in a 3-team deal also including the Chicago Bulls. San Antonio also receives the right to swap first round picks with the Kings in 2031 and sends RaiQuan Gray to Chicago. San Antonio also waived Charles Bassey. – 6:37 PM

The #Spurs have formally announced the addition of Harrison Barnes from the Kings. They get also 2031 Kings 1st-Round pick swap, & send RaiQuan Gray to the Chicago Bulls.
Spurs also announce they have waived C Charles Bassey, but I’m told they’re hopeful they can bring him back. pic.twitter.com/jLOoYg4LZt – 6:34 PM

Not including a new contract for Chris Paul, San Antonio is roughly $26M below the salary cap.
They have a $2.5M non-guaranteed contract of Charles Bassey that counts. – 1:36 PM

More on this storyline
Paul Garcia: Got some clarity from one of the best cap experts around @YossiGozlan: by waiving Bassey and Champagnie, and if Paul signed for $11 mil, the Spurs could absorb Barnes’ $19.85 mil salary with about $366K left. Here’s what that would look like: pic.twitter.com/uk0NaCazzJ -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / July 8, 2024
Paul Garcia: With Graham going to Charlotte, the Spurs now have $25.7 million in cap space. They can get up to $28.9 million by waiving or trading Champagnie and Bassey -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / July 6, 2024
