Teams can't amnesty players they acquired in a trade.Quote:

Can't believe spurs resigned him to that ,Jesus 11 mil gl swallowing that deal gst
He's an expiring contract, right? That can be valuable for teams looking to clear future cap room.
It allowed us to restructure, get under the salary cap and sign Splitter.Quote:

Yup. :lol RJ is living the dream right now. That trade is looking so fucking brilliant right now.Quote:

:lol T Park, DesignatedT, etc. being stoked about resigning RJ when everybody else wanted to slit their wrists tbh.
Tbh, I was pretty stoked when we resigned him too but not because of his play but because of how thin the Spurs' small forward lineup was. IIRC, that was the same offseason where Hairston left.Quote:

Lol at some people thinking keeping RJ was better than trading for Jack in the long runQuote:

Hey its not the spurs fault they could not see what kind of player RJ was, it was not a blind trade. It was a dumb trade salary wise from the start,they were afraid to bring Jackson into their locker room and the spurs helped them.Quote:

Me too, I thought SA was fucked without a starting SF so I wanted them to resign RJ, he was better than nothing, or so I thought... If I remember correctly the only other SF options at that time were Rasual Butler and James Jones from the Heat, both free agents, they were of course done in the NBA.Quote:

The real question is, wth was our FO thinking giving him that egregious contract?
Cory Joseph was trying to use the traction pad and Dick was blocking him purposely... take another look at it, Dick even sticks the traction pad's plastic tear-off on Manu's arm.Quote:

Not the least bit surprised he took the option. He won't get even half that anywhere else. I doubt RJ cares what people there think about it either. . .it's 11 million dollars.
RJ is definitely climbing the "all time most overpaid players" list though.
i didn't notice this one during the game. there's another instance duncan pushing rj, that one happened at midcourt.Quote:
