Hopefully he continues the positive trend of Spurs players from Arizona (Elliott & Kerr)

Looking forward to some small ball next season especially if Gist can play.
Timmy
Gist
RJ
Manu
TP
One of many lineups we'll see. Not saying we do not need another big because we do if we want to contend with LA.

Yeah, a different word probably would have been saferThat doesn't sound right, considering Joumana's rumor.
Actually the more I think about this trade, it doesn't sound that good to me. Spurs needed more help in the front court. They overspent to get Jefferson when you compare it to the Lakers trade to get Gasol. Why didn't they offer the same trade to the Grizzlies of Oberto, Thomas and Bowen to get younger brother Gasol from the Griz? Either that or another big man that the Grizzlies had because they are overloaded on the front court. You could have gotten Hadaddi, Darko Milicic, Gasol, Warrick, Gay?
I don't really know how RJ will do on the Spurs or how the Spurs will be with him, but he is a great player to have if he can become the RJ of the early days in the NBA then the Spurs could be a great team I think looking at the lineup(sorry don't follow the spurs like I do the Nets, but this year I will have too follow more if RJ is a Spur
If the Spurs add another big to the team, then the trade will be ok.
Every trade will look bad when you compare it the Gasol trade
Jefferson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fat Gasol.
Oh no. The Spurs didn't get Hadaddi!
Well the Spurs just gave up two centers. It's thinner than ever. The FO obviously realizes this too.
The RJ trade is key for Finley.
If he wants to play he'll not pick his option because he knows he won't get any minutes.
If he just want to be part of a gooed team, playing very few minutes he'll stay.
I don't see how anyone can spin this trade into something bad.
The Spurs got Richard Jefferson for Kurt Thomas.
Its more Rockets fan scrambling now saying " , we HAD a momentary edge on em"
I think this is quite possible, especially if they are confident of Manu's health. They could use RJ to get a quality big or trade up in the draft to (maybe) get one. Either way Spurs need an athletic big that can rebound and move his feet to guard the better bigs in the league.
Agree, this is a great trade.
If we can get a decent big we're the team to beat
Yes, we do need big men..however, like others have said, you're trading Richard Jefferson for Kurt Thomas..how can anybody possibly believe this isn't a great trade?..
we still NEED a big man though..not only just a big man, but a starting big man..this should be the next step..the addition of Jefferson makes it a different need though..Gooden is no longer an option, since we can't have another guy that is looking to score..we need a big man that can rebound, play D, and finish..we won't be getting an elite player or anything, but hopefully a serviceable player that can play solid basketball next to Tim..
Mason, Bonner, and/or Finley should be on the block..Gist looks like he might be a Spur next year, and obviously Ian's health is key here..
clippers are trying to find buyers for kaman or randolph. camby is their starter. he isnt going anywhere. he is the cheapest option of the 3 bigs and the best
Some guy on the Jim Rome show already did. Saying RJ isn't an elite player, doesn't think he will fit into the system, and that the Spurs gave up two great contributors (didnt specify which two). I swear, the Spurs could get Dwight Howard for Matt Bonner and somebody would still have a problem with it.
What about Ian? Aren't those things supposed to be what he brings to the table?
That is not true. He is the most likely to go. He was almost traded to the Spurs last season, and now they have offered him up for Mike Miller supposedly.
Yeah, I saw that.

I didn't get what the he was talking about in defense when the other guy stated Bruce is likely coming back.
Give them Michael Finley and a draft pick. Or whatever makes the deal work.
Pass on both. Spurs need to move on past both those guys. With the wing position solidified, it's time to upgrade the frontcourt - talentwise. Can't do that by bringing back the same old heads. The Spurs can do better than KT and Fab.
Actually the more I think about it George Lucas should write another Star Wars movie like the first one. That made him a lot of money. If he did that again he'd be really rich.
