An Aug. 1 deadline on Brandon Paul‘s contract nears. The San Antonio Spurs can either waive his $1.37 million salary and not have it count towards the 2018-19 season’s salary cap or not announce anything and keep him on the roster.
If Paul stays, San Antonio’s roster will sit full at 15 players. They have two-way contracts to fill to bring the group to 17, along with training camp invitees before the season starts to bring the total to 20.
Of course the Spurs might keep Paul past Aug. 1 and still waive him. Though, it means his salary sticks on the roster, and if it’s stretched, it goes through the 2019-10 season.
