That’s really good business from the Spurs. I know I’m in the minority but I don’t understand wasting that cap space for a second and signing Bridges to 3/$75M. Loved their move to get Green, not so much the rest.

Yep. I called this a while ago. Paying another team to eat his guarantee is just good business. This is a sign the Spurs want to use cap space though.

Don't they have to guarantee his contract to trade him?

only to aggregate salaries. The Hornets are leveraging cap space so that doesn't apply.

They didn't have to, but in retrospect, paying more for the Hornets to take his guaranteed salary and then wrapping that up into the Barnes trade would've been a superior move to dumping their deep bench for cap space.
