Very good for year one, $5M less with tax and cap implications.
Year two is cost for year one.
Years three and four ... meh.

Edit: Dr. Pepper to CubanMustGo

Cue TPark justifying the amount and why the FO payed it.

The Spurs were handed a Get Out of Jail Free card and promptly traded it in for that crappy one that forces you to pay fees for other people's hotels and crap.

That wouldnt have happened if not overpaying for fucking Matt Bonner !!! :pctoss

Basically, since RJ is better than Bonner, Spurs have to him more than the Red Rocket

how the fuck does he get 40 million wtf is this 40 million for 6 rebounds a game hell naw man fuck this why the fuck did i log on fuck this ima go punch a tree fuck this im out

Had to be deal in place before hand. Otherwise that makes no sense.

Spurs planted this contract in RJs head way back in Feb when he first mentioned opting out. It was a brilliant master plan until this summer came around: little did anyone know they would be overpaying.

EDIT/ vastly overpaying

He better have a fourth year team option for $15.2M . . .

Paying 40 million dollars is not...and was never a brilliant idea.

...and an expiring CBA...

Fucking Matt BONNER contract









:pctoss

I'd rather that 4th be fully non-guaranteed rather than simple team option..

No it's not, especially for a FB offensive sf in a 1/2 court, defensive system. But I gotta hope that the FO realized this FUBAR situation w/ RJ and tried to come out of it the best they could.

If there is a trade of the contract after 2 yrs (Or yrs 3-4 are some combo of team options and/or partial guarantees,) the FO at least breaks even on the mistake.

The more I think about it

If i have not made a mistake the 1st yaer would be at 8,6 mil.

Do we have any margin for the luxury tax for a defensive SG/SF ?

This news wasn't worth waiting for.

I told you guys in the very first thread about this that it would be 5 years for $45M and everybody said I was crazy. I can't believe they actually signed a worse deal, unless year 4 is non-guaranteed.

I also gotta believe that Pop thinks RJ will be better this yr, or else Pop wouldn't be able to look TD in the eyes.:ihit

EIT: JEEBUS, I sound like ErciB sticking up for the FO no matter what -- someone shoot me
