SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs are pocketing a huge sum of money thanks to the NBA revenue sharing.

According to a report via ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Spurs are getting a significant financial shot from the 2021-22 revenue-sharing plan.

Specifically, $26.3 million.

In a nutshell, the 10 large NBA market teams that made the most revenue contributed financially to the other 20 league teams that did not make as much money.

Sources: Also receiving revenue sharing payments for 2021-2022 include Denver ($35.5M), Portland ($32M), Charlotte ($31.6M), Sacramento ($29.9M), New Orleans ($28.9M), Memphis ($28M), San Antonio ($26.3M), Minnesota ($25.6M), Orlando ($23.4M), Detroit ($21.5M, Cleveland ($19.9M).

The idea is to create a financial balance in the NBA.

Those 20 teams are sharing $404.1 million in revenue sharing contributions for 2021-2022, according to a memo shared with teams.

Here's around what teams have left to spend (w/ estimated deals):

This bodes well for a franchise in transition if they want to chase top NBA free agents or work trades as it looks toward the future and gets back to the top of the NBA.
