Next is Bonner. If he is to be involved in a deal (to shave cap space) Or if the Spurs want to save some extra money themselves for Free Agency, he has to be waived by June 30th.

If Howard decides to stay with the Lakers, then the luxury tax is expected to force the Lakers to consider waiving Gasol via amnesty. In that case several options would be available, including this: the Spurs could re-sign Manu Ginobili, renounce Tiago Splitter and have money under the cap to put in a competitive claim for Gasol. In that case, it could be argued that Gasol would have a greater impact on the championship race than Howard.

San Antonio Spurs restricted free-agent center Tiago Splitter could command an offer sheet that averages $8.5 million to $9 million annually, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to be a suitor for Splitter, league sources said. The Utah Jazz and Atlanta Hawks have salary-cap space, a need for a young center and general managers – Dennis Lindsey and Danny Ferry, respectively – who were Spurs front-office executives when Splitter came into the organization.
