It's Official! RJ NOT Amnestied

[Man Mountain]

After a week of flirting with other small forwards, the Spurs will open the preseason tonight at the Toyota Center with Richard Jefferson still on the roster and the remaining three years and $30.5 million on his contract still on the team payroll.

Friday’s NBA deadline for executing amnesty on a player – waiving him in order to clean his contract off the books for salary-cap purposes – came and went without Jefferson being jettisoned.

The Spurs had been strongly considering releasing the 31-year-old Jefferson, but backed away when they couldn’t seem to attract a suitable replacement.


Amnesty man walking.

Do you have to make a thread about everything that is already in other threads?

Not to mention that it's not officially official until 12AM EST, which about an hour from now, and 2 hours after your post.

Thank God for this thread.

It's 11:37. In 23 minutes, someone else will make the OFFICIAL RJ Not Amnestied thread. Tomorrow someone will make the Why Didn't We Amnesty RJ thread. Then the Why Don't We Trade RJ For Kobe thread seems inevitible.
