It can be hard to understand how NBA teams build their rosters. The rules can be
confusing and the information about cap minutia and draft picks is not always
easily available to the fans who want insight into how things work in the front
offices.

We’ve found the solution by partnering with SalarySwish to offer you an easy way
to access their data and a simple explanation of everything you need to know
about salaries, assets, and more. From now on, you can get back to this page to
get updated information and hopefully the answers to the most pressing questions
about how team-building works in the NBA.

Now, onto the info...


SPURS ROSTER, SALARIES, DRAFT PICKS, CAP SPACE AND MORE

Here is a table with all of the Spurs’ salary information, courtesy of our
friends at SalarySwish:



Above you have everything you need to know about the Spurs’ contract and draft
pick situations, but it can be hard to process it all at once. With that in
mind, let’s dive into the most notable aspects and try to answer the more common
questions.


FAQ

WHEN CAN MY FAVORITE TEAM PRY VICTOR WEMBANYAMA AWAY FROM THE SPURS?

Sorry to crush your dreams, fans of other teams, but not for a while. Wembanyama
is going to enter the second year of his rookie contract. After his fourth year,
he’ll become a restricted free agent. That means the Spurs can offer him more
money on a contract extension than anyone trying to sign him outright and they
can match any offer another team makes. Wemby will be a Spur for a long time
unless something strange happens.

WHO MAKES THE MOST MONEY ON THE SPURS?

As of the 2024/25 season, Devin Vassell. The shooting guard was signed to a
five-year, $148 million extension, with $133 of his salary being guaranteed.
It’s a lot of money but it’s not close to the maximum contract for a player with
his years of experience and he seems well on his way to deserving every penny.
It feels unlikely anyone will make more than Vassell until Wembanyama signs a
max extension or the Spurs target a star on a trade.

DO THE SPURS HAVE ANY UNUSUALLY STRUCTURED CONTRACTS?

There’s nothing too unusual. The most interesting contract is Keldon Johnson’s,
as he signed an extension that decreases in value as the years go by. Johnson
made $20 million last season but will make $19 million next season and then
$17.5 in the final two of his contract. It’s a really good deal because he’ll
take up a smaller percentage of the cap sheet as the years pass. It should make
him a steal if he continues to improve and easy to trade if the Spurs choose to
move on.



With the most specific topics out of the way, let’s answer some big-picture
questions about the Spurs’ salary cap and draft picks moving forward.


DO THE SPURS HAVE CAP SPACE HEADING INTO THE SEASON? HOW ABOUT NEXT OFFSEASON?

The Spurs do not have cap space heading into the 2024/25 season, as they used it
to sign Chris Paul and absorb Harrison Barnes’ contract on a three-team trade.
After that, they went over the cap with the signings of Charles Bassey and
Sandro Mamukelashvili for the minimum. They have one of the cheapest rosters in
the league and shouldn’t have to worry about the luxury tax or the first apron
this year.

The Spurs do have the room exception worth $7.9 million at their disposal, which
they can use as a trade exception to claim a player off waivers or absorb a
contract worth less than $7.9 million in a trade. San Antonio used its cap space
and has a full roster but retained the flexibility to make an in-season addition
by saving the exception.

As for next offseason, the Spurs could carve out over $50 million in cap space,
going by the contracts currently on the books. Things can change between now and
the summer of 2025, but San Antonio will likely be a free agency player next
year.


WHAT FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICKS DO THE SPURS OWN?

The Spurs own all of their future first-round picks, along with some extra picks
they received via trade. Some are more likely to convey than others, due to
protections. Let’s go through them:

 * Atlanta Hawks 2025 first-round pick - Unprotected
 * Charlotte Hornets 2025 first-round pick - Protected 1-14. If it doesn’t
   convey in 2025, the Hornets will owe the Spurs second-rounders in 2026 and
   2027
 * Chicago Bulls 2025 first-round pick - Protected 1-10 in 2025, then 1-8 until
   2027. If it doesn’t convey by then, the Bulls will send the Spurs their 2028
   second-round pick
 * Atlanta Hawks 2027 first-round pick - Unprotected
 * Minnesota Timberwolves 3031 first-round pick - Unprotected

Additionally, the Spurs have the rights to swap first-round picks with several
teams in different years. Let’s go through them:

 * Atlanta Hawks 2026 first-round pick swap rights
 * Boston Celtics 2028 first-round pick swap rights - Top 1 protected
 * Dallas Mavericks 2030 first-round pick swap rights
 * Minnesota Timberwolves 2030 first-round pick swap rights

The Spurs also own the following second-round draft picks (swap rights not
included):

 * 2025 Bulls pick
 * 2026 Mavericks, Thunder or 76ers pick - Less favorable
 * 2026 Jazz pick
 * 2026 Trail Blazers or Pelicans - Less Favorable
 * 2028 Nuggets pick - 31-33 protected
 * 2028 Timberwolves pick
 * 2028 Pelicans pick
 * 2029 Clippers pick
 * 2029 Pelicans pick
 * 2030 Cavaliers pick


DO THE SPURS HAVE RIGHTS TO ANY NOTABLE PLAYERS COMPETING IN EUROPE?

The Spurs used the 36th pick of the 2024 draft to select Juan Nuñez. The
20-year-old Spanish point guard is one of the most promising young players in
the continent and recently signed a three-year contract with European giant
Barcelona. His contract reportedly has an NBA buyout clause.
