He is the missing piece.

Height: 6-11 / 2,11
Weight: 240 lbs. / 108,9 kg.

Info
Great size at the 3, can play some 4. Good range on his shot and fine on the glass. Restricted free agent though Wiz might not match.
He is the missing piece.
6-11..wow
Wizards would match, especially since we have nothing but the mid level, and the Spurs won't use it all on one player. Unless they're sure they can trade Rasho or Nazr for some value back.
Would they match if the Spurs gave him the years?
He'd be a terrific fit, and I'd list him as a higher priority than both Scola and / or Javtokas. I wouldn't be so sure about Washington matching, particularly considering they have a lot of money already invested in Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison (SF/PF tweener).
Would Washington be interested in Scola or Nazr? How about some kind of trade to lure him away from Washington?
I think that a switch between jaffries and nazr could be in the best interest of both teams...
They have a lot of outside shooters and an offensive rebounder like nazr could be one of the best assets for them...and we need the long small forward that Jeffries is (this is thinking we should replace Nazr with Javtokas...that is quite like the some kind of player)!
FG% and rbds/game pls?
we need a rebounder badly next yr.
all i know is this guy had 15 rbds against Detroit 4/19/06 in 34 min of play & can block.
nothing more.
Jeffries will get the full MLE.
Jumaine Jones for $10M/3 years >>>>>>> Jeffries for $31M/5 years
They could use a big man.I think we have a few we can throw there way.
Well he's not a true big man. He's pretty much a tall small forward.
That's wha I meant...
They could use a Nazr type player down low.
Wait
That would be a sign and sign and trade =/

He'd probably be a good fit here but I don't think a sign and trade would happen. And the Spurs don't have the money to overbid and just sign him.
6'11' small forward...but...but...I thought we were going to small ball with the rest of the league.
Big guys are so passe'. Basketball is a game for small guys. [sarcasm/]
It would have to be part of a deal. If we offered him the full MLE, even if we gave him the max years, I think Washington would match and send a thank you note to RC and Pop.
How many teams with more than MLE to offer have a long 3 as their main target?
Jared Jeffries is the player I have been touting all along as the Spurs big acquisition.
His stats are nothing great throughout the season, but he did come through in the playoffs for Washington. He played good defense (agile enough to run the floor, and arms long enough to block shots...think Tayshaun Prince) on LeBron James.
As of now, most Wizard fan's claim that Jeffries won't be back. The Wizards have money tied up in Arena's, Daniels, Butler, Eaton, Brendan Haywood, Jamison, and will have to resign Jarvis Hayes soon.....thus, they think the team will not offer Jamison the MLE off the bat......and when he tests the waters, they don't expect him to sign a contract such as Bobby Simmons because Jeffries was no 6th man......Therefore, if they feel comfortable with the offer Jeffries will get from another team......then they will decide to match or not....with the outcome more than likely being not.....
Jeffries won't command the full MLE....he did not have a breakout season, nor did he excell in anything in particular; however, his physical tools do make his stock rise....and of course the hidden potential.....ala Boris Diaw....
Now, ideally he is exactly what the Spurs need. A 6-10 SF, who is versatile enough to play big SG, SF, and PF's who are perimeter oriented. He's athletic enough to dunk, slash, and with Chip Engelland on board....to gain a consistent jump shot. His long arm's do not only help with his own defender, but it helps with rebounding and the passing lanes.
The Wizard's might want to stay away from a sign and trade with Mohammed because they already have a lot of money due to other players. Now, they might be interested in Scola, but that might not be enough.
The best chance is the Spurs to sign him outright with the MLE, which I am for.
I want him
trade barry for him!
I'm searching for a reason to like this guy. His stats are so nothing. He doesn't do anything well
I love his height for being a small forward. But that's it.
Maybe the Spurs think that putting him on a team that actually passes could help him. If there is a Derrick McKey type player on the market, this guy fits the bill because of his size and unselfish style.
hes the original tyrus thomas thoughI'm searching for a reason to like this guy. His stats are so nothing. He doesn't do anything well

not even 1 good year, just 1 good tournament that ended in no championship, led to being overchoderated
spurs coaches are better then washington
can he defend is the question? spurs really do not need alot of o out of this spot right now
I'm sure there was a lot of people who could not see a reason to want Boris Diaw. Although, someone took a gamble because he had the physical tools they needed...and that do you know....his poor stats, limited playing time, and apparent to passive style....all flipped around. Playing with solid teams, MVP's, and good coaching can do that to a player.
Can he defend? Yes.
Tyrus Thomas? I can see what you're talking about....Freshmen leading his team to the final four,etc...Jeffries was still raw when he came into the league, got injured, and next thing you know Washington deals for Caron Butler and his minutes just shrink....
Personally, I rather invest in this kid. Who is versatile enough to play 3 positions and guard three positions, does a bit of everything, has the physical tools we need, and has played in the league.....than give the majority of the MLE to luis scola.
