2025-26赛季或许在一个令人失望的结局中落下帷幕——马刺在总决赛中遭遇了4次第四节崩盘，将原本可能到手的四场胜利和总冠军，变成了五场比赛中四场令人痛心的失利。然而，从更宏观的角度来看，我们需要记住，这支球队本赛季的表现已经远远超出了人们的预期，他们的重建进度大大提前，而且未来还有极大的成长空间。
往年当赛季在4月结束时，我们总要经历长达两个月的枯燥等待。而今年这趟总决赛之旅带来的另一个好处是，我们几乎可以无缝衔接，立即将注意力转向重要的夏季活动，比如NBA选秀、自由市场和夏季联赛。以下是马刺在总结这个极其成功的赛季并展望未来时，需要牢记的一些重要日期。
NBA选秀
2026年6月23日 —— 首轮
- 马刺拥有第20号签（来自亚特兰大老鹰）
2026年6月24日 —— 次轮
- 马刺拥有第35号签（来自犹他爵士）
- 马刺拥有第42号签（来自波特兰开拓者）
- 马刺拥有第44号签（来自迈阿密热火）
截至目前，马刺总共拥有四个选秀权，其中包括首轮第20号签。这得益于他们拥有与亚特兰大老鹰队互换选秀权的权利，而老鹰队则将使用马刺原本第29顺位的选秀权（德章泰·默里 (Dejounte Murray) 那笔交易真是红利不断）。此外，他们还通过其他球队获得了三个次轮签，而他们自己的次轮签则送到了明尼苏达。（在经历了过去几年乐透签的“娇惯”之后，等待第20顺位的感觉可能会显得有些漫长。）
自由市场
2026年6月14日 —— 球队可以开始与本队自由球员进行谈判。
这实际上就是昨天，因为它与总决赛结束后的第一天相吻合。话虽如此，马刺并没有太多值得关注的自由球员。其中最引人关注的是哈里森·巴恩斯 (Harrison Barnes)，他本赛季以首发身份开局，但随着赛季的深入逐渐跌出了轮换阵容，在季后赛中也鲜有上场机会。马刺的其他自由球员还包括凯利·奥利尼克 (Kelly Olynyk)、乔丹·麦克劳克林 (Jordan McLaughlin)、林迪·沃特斯三世 (Lindy Waters III)、俾斯麦·比永博 (Bismack Biyombo) 和梅森·普拉姆利 (Mason Plumlee)，以及他们的三名双向合同球员：哈里森·英格拉姆 (Harrison Ingram)、大卫·琼斯·加西亚 (David Jones Garcia) 和埃马努埃尔·米勒 (Emmanuel Miller)。
2026年6月29日 —— 提前终止合同以及向受限制自由球员开出资质报价的截止日。
后半部分（资质报价）对马刺来说几乎无关紧要，因为他们2022届的选秀新秀已经不在此处，但前半部分（提前终止/球队选项）可能会产生影响，前提是他们选择拒绝朱利安·尚帕尼 (Julian Champagnie) 的球队选项并与他续约。如果是这种情况，他们需要在此时之前完成操作。
2026年6月30日 —— 老将提前续约截止日，谈判期开始（中部时间下午5:00）。
如果马刺对尚帕尼采取上述方案，这将是他签署续约合同的最后机会，否则他将成为自由球员。同样从中部时间下午5:00开始，各支球队可以开始与其他球队的自由球员展开谈判。
2026年7月1日 —— 自由市场正式开启（以下列表由 Hoops Rumors 提供）。
- 2026/27赛季NBA联盟年度正式开始。
- 签约冻结期 开始。
- 受限制自由球员可以签署报价合同。
- 球队可以开始与球员签署一年或两年的底薪合同。
- 球队可以开始与球员签署双向合同。
- 球队可以开始与首轮秀签署新秀合同。
- 球队可以开始使用次轮秀特例与次轮秀签约。
- 球队可以开始执行新秀合同中针对2027-28赛季的第三年或第四年球队选项。
这里有几点需要说明。首先友情提醒，签约冻结期为期五天，期间可以进行合同谈判，但不能正式签约。对马刺来说，另一个值得关注的事件是列表中的最后一项，他们可以——而且实际上也必然会——执行斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 新秀合同的第四年球队选项，以及迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper) 和卡特·布莱恩特 (Carter Bryant) 的第三年球队选项。（从技术上讲，他们可以在10月31日之前完成这项工作，但很难想象会拖那么久，尤其是对于卡斯尔和哈珀而言。）
2026年7月6日 —— 签约冻结期结束；交易、合同和续约合同可以正式签署。
现在，交易、合同和续约合同终于可以正式落笔签字了。马刺将能够签下任何新的自由球员，但最引人瞩目的是，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 将有资格签署他的新秀合同续约合同。假设他拿到顶薪，这将是NBA历史上最大规模的新秀续约合同，并使他从2027-28赛季开始成为联盟中收入最高的球员之一。他五年顶薪续约的起薪基数为2.51亿美元（占工资帽的25%），但如果他在2026-27赛季入选最佳阵容、获得MVP或最佳防守球员，这份合同可以升级为价值高达3.01亿美元（占工资帽的30%）的超级顶薪。除非他未能达到65场的出场限制，否则在这份合同生效时，我们完全可以期待他拿到超级顶薪。
这些是马刺需要特别关注的主要关键日期，但自由市场期间的其他重要节点还包括：
- 7月13日 —— 向受限制自由球员撤回资质报价的截止日。
- 7月31日 —— 使用次轮秀特例签约的球员开始计入球队工资帽。
- 8月5日 —— 球队向未签约次轮秀发出必要报价的截止日。
- 8月29日 —— 球队裁掉球员并对其2026-27赛季薪水使用延伸条款的截止日。
夏季联赛
7月3日-6日 —— 加州经典赛
在自由市场的喧嚣之中，夏季联赛也将拉开帷幕，所以你甚至不需要等上一个月就能再次看到篮球比赛！首先，马刺将前往旧金山参加加州经典赛，参赛球队还包括勇士、湖人和热火。这通常是第一次看到马刺次轮秀登场亮相的好机会。
7月9日-19日 —— 拉斯维加斯夏季联赛
这当然是更受瞩目的夏季联赛，在这里你更有机会看到马刺的首轮秀，以及一些可能回归的老面孔。虽然我不认为哈珀今年会参加夏联（他不需要这个），但布莱恩特很有可能会作为球队队长出战，以便进一步锻炼自己，并向马刺展示他的进步。这对于像英格拉姆这样的球员来说，也是一个争取马刺另一个双向合同名额、甚至是一份保障合同的机会。遗憾的是，我们可能无法看到琼斯·加西亚的身影，他在2月份接受了脚踝手术，预计无法在夏联前康复。
显而易见，当你多打了两个月的比赛，休赛期就会显得短暂得多（简单的数学题），但不用经历从4月到现在的漫长空窗期，感觉确实很棒。很难相信训练营在三个多月后就要开始了，虽然马刺在这个夏天还有一些工作要做，但预计他们下赛季仍将保留几乎相同的核心阵容。
在接下来的几天和几周里，我们将带来大量关于马刺潜在选秀和自由市场目标的分析内容，以及夏季联赛的报道，所以请整个夏天都锁定 Pounding the Rock。虽然这个赛季的结局可能不够完美，但这绝对是我自2016-17赛季在这里工作以来报道过最棒的一个赛季，未来一片光明。感谢大家一直以来的支持！

Key dates Spurs fans should know this summer
The 2025-26 season may have ended in disappointment as the Spurs stumbled their way through 4 fourth-quarter collapses in the NBA Finals, turning what could have been four victories and a championship into four excruciating losses in five games. However, when you look at the broader view, it helps to remember this is nowhere near what was expected of this team this season, how far ahead of schedule they are, and how much more room they have to grow.
Another thing this year’s trip to the Finals has given us is, after years of watching and waiting for two months once the season ended in April, we immediately get to turn our attention to important summer activities, such as the NBA Draft, Free Agency and Summer League with almost no time gap. Below is a list of important dates to keep in mind as the Spurs build on a highly successful season and prepare for the future.
NBA Draft
June 23, 2026 — First round
- Spurs pick 20th (via Atlanta Hawks)
June 24, 2026 — Second round
- Spurs pick 35th (via the Utah Jazz)
- Spurs pick 42th (via the Portland Trail Blazers)
- Spurs pick 44th (via the Miami Heat)
As of today, the Spurs have four total picks, including 20th overall in the first round thanks to owning the right to swap picks with the Atlanta Hawks, who will in turn pick in the Spurs’ slot of 29th (the Dejounte Murray trade keeps on giving). They also have three second round picks via other teams, while their own is going to Minnesota. (After getting a little spoiled by the lottery in recent years, waiting for 20th is going to seem like a long time.)
Free Agency
June 14, 2026 — Teams can begin negotiating with their own free agents.
This was actually yesterday since it aligns with the first day after the end of the Finals, but with that being said, the Spurs have very few free agents of note. The most notable is Harrison Barnes, who began the season as a starter but fell out of the rotation as the season wore on and played sparingly in the playoffs. The Spurs’ other free agents include Kelly Olynyk, Jordan McLaughlin, Lindy Waters III, Bismack Biyombo and Mason Plumlee, as well as their three two-way players: Harrison Ingram, David Jones Garcia and Emmanuel Miller.
June 29, 2026 — Last day for early terminations and qualifying offers for restricted free agents.
The latter part of this day hardly matters to the Spurs since their 2022 draft class is gone, but the former could matter if they choose to decline Julian Champagnie’s team option and sign him to an extension. If that is the case, they would need to do so by this time.
June 30, 2026 — Last day for veteran extensions, negotiation period begins (5:00 PM CT).
Should the Spurs take the previously mentioned route with Champagnie, this would be the last chance for him to sign an extension, otherwise he would become a free agent. Also beginning at 5:00 PM CT, teams can begin negotiating with other team’s free agents.
July 1, 2026 — True beginning of Free Agency (list is courtesy of Hoops Rumors).
- Official start of the 2026/27 NBA league year.
- Moratorium period begins.
- Restricted free agents can sign an offer sheet.
- Teams can begin signing players to one- or two-year minimum-salary contracts.
- Teams can begin signing players to two-way contracts.
- Teams can begin signing first-round picks to rookie scale contracts.
- Teams can begin signing second-round picks using the second-round pick exception.
- Teams can begin exercising the third- or fourth-year team options for 2027-28 on rookie scale contracts.
A few notes here. One is as a reminder, the Moratorium Period is five days in which contracts can be negotiated but not signed. The other notable occurrence for the Spurs will be the bottom one, in which they can — and for all intents and purposes will — exercised the fourth-year option on Stephon Castle’s rookie contract and third-year options for Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant. (They technically have until October 31 to get this done, but it’s hard to imagine it would take that long, especially for Castle and Harper.)
July 6, 2026 — Moratorium period ends; trades, contracts and extensions can be officially signed.
Now pen can officially be put to paper for trades, contracts and extensions. The Spurs will be able to sign any new free agents, but most notably, Victor Wembanyama will become eligible to sign his rookie-scale extension. Assuming he takes the max, it will be largest rookie contract extension in NBA history and make him one of the league’s highest paid players beginning in the 2027-28 season. The base salary for his maximum extension is $251 million (or 25% of the salary cap) across five years, but it can turn into the super-max worth up to $301 million (30% of the salary cap) if he earns All-NBA honors or wins MVP or Defensive Player of the Year in the 2026-27 season. Barring him missing the 65-game limit, expect the super-max to be the case by the time it kicks in.
These are the main key dates that will be notable for the Spurs, but others within FA include:
- July 13 —Last day to withdraw qualifying offers to restricted free agents.
- July 31 — Players signed using the second-round pick exception begin to count against a team’s cap.
- August 5 — Last day for teams to issue required tenders to unsigned second-round picks..
- August 29 — Last day for teams to waive players and apply the stretch provision to their 2026-27 salaries.
Summer League
July 3-6 — California Classic
Amidst all the chaos of free agency will be Summer League, so you don’t even have to wait a month to watch basketball again! First, the Spurs will participate in the California Classic in San Francisco, along the Warriors, Lakers and Heat. This is usually a good place to at least see the Spurs second round picks for the first time.
July 9-19 — Las Vegas Summer League
This of course is the more notable of the Summer Leagues and where you stand a better chance of seeing the Spurs’ first round pick, as well as possibly some returning faces. While I wouldn’t expect Harper to be in SL this year (he doesn’t need it), it’s quite possible Bryant gets a run as team captain so he can develop more and show the Spurs how far he has come. This could also be a chance for players like Ingram to vie for another two-way spot with the Spurs or possibly even a guaranteed contract. Unfortunately, one face we may not see is Jones Garcia, who underwent ankle surgery in February and is not expected to be ready for SL.
It’s crazy how much quicker the offseason is when you play two extra months of ball (because math), but the lack of a long gap between April and now is certainly nice. It’s hard to believe that training camp is just a bit over three months away, and while the Spurs have some work to do this summer, expect them to return pretty much the same core team.
We will have plenty of content on potential draft and free agency prospects for the Spurs in the coming days and weeks, as well as Summer League coverage, so be sure to stick around at Pounding the Rock all summer. While this season may not have ended ideally, it was certain the best one I have covered since starting here in 2016-17, and the future couldn’t be brighter. Thank you all for your continued support!
