The San Antonio Spurs had the Mid-Level Exception available to use this summer as really their only way to add talent to their roster in free agency.
The front office decided to use about $6.5 million of that $9.3 million Mid-Level Exception to add depth on the wing by signing DeMarre Carroll as an unrestricted free agent.
That leaves a little less than $3 million for them to potentially add a free agent big man before the offseason is over.
Fortunately, there are a ton of big men still on the market after the first day of free agency and the Spurs should be able to scoop one up on a reasonable contract if they decide to use their remaining money on that position.
