Tom Orsborn of the Express-News summarized in a column on June 13, 2007, the money the Spurs made during the playoffs. Below is an excerpt from that column:
The disappointment that goes along with losing in the Finals has a hefty price. The difference between the share of money from the league's playoff pool that goes to the winning team, as opposed to the losing team, in the Finals is $597,473.
Winning the title would give the Spurs $2,542,637 to distribute among players and support staff. Should they lose, they would have $1,945,164 to hand out.
All teams that qualify for the first round receive $149,243, plus an amount based on their regular-season finish in their conferences. The Spurs got $151,421 for finishing third in the Western Conference.
Advancing to the second round earned the Spurs an additional $177,579; beating the Suns in the conference semifinals got them $293,447 more.
