Spurscast Ep. 665: 4 Weeks Until the Preseason Starts

In Spurscast episode 665, Spurscast host Paul Garcia and Project Spurs Director of Digital Content Joe Garcia discuss: 

The Spurs re-signing Joe Wieskamp

Alize Johnson and Tommy Kuhse signing exhibit-10 deals

Jalen Adaway signing an exhibit-10 contract soon

Manu Ginobili’s upcoming Hall of Fame ceremony

Joe Wieskamp Re-Signs

The San Antonio Spurs recently re-signed Joe Wieskamp to a two-year deal, for $4.4 million. The first year of the deal is fully guaranteed and the second year is partially guaranteed if Wieskamp remains on the team past a specific deadline.

With the Spurs tendering Wieskamp a qualifying offer when free agency began, the signs were there that they intended to keep him as part of their roster since he was just entering the second season of his NBA career.

Three Players on Exhibit 10 Deals

Alize Johnson and Tommy Kuhse signed exhibit-10 deals recently, and a player on the roster will have to be waived in order for the team to sign Jalen Adaway to an exhibit 10 contract.

With the Spurs' roster now capped with 20 players, in order to sign another player going forward, the Spurs will have to waive a player first.

Though it's not an urgent move, the Spurs will also need to decide which player will be waived before the start of the regular season in late October. In a segment on the episode, this topic is discussed.

Manu Ginobili's Hall of Fame Ceremony This Weekend

This Saturday, September 10, Manu Ginobili will enter the Hall of Fame. Presenting Ginobili into the hall of fame will be his former teammate and recent 2020 Hall of Fame inductee Tim Duncan.

In the episode, Joe and Paul share some of their favorite memories about Ginobili's career.
