bosh next season
Why did the Spurs not get in on this deal, good lord. We had plenty of expiring contracts that the Knicks covet, and we could've fleeced their next two first round draft picks from them almost completely unprotected. Not to mention, Jeffries would've been the athletic defensive wing that this team needs so badly.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
At least we get to let our expiring contracts walk away this summer and we won't even get any cap relief from them.
bosh next season
No he's not. He can be a great pickup for a playoff team with the type of game he plays. However, he wouldn't even be the biggest thing we would get out of it, we would get two HIGH draft picks to go with our own for the next two drafts, not to mention next year we could've packaged RJ (huge expriring) and one of those picks and gotten a STAR. Whatever.
YES HE IS!!! What have you seen that impress you the most. 'nough said..
He is an above average defender, and exceptional compared to our wings on defense.
Paying $14 mil for next season for Jared ing Jefferies, when the Spurs have already gone balls to the wall with a $80 mil payroll. Are you mad?
Yeah sure sure!!! I am glad we stayed away from this scrub from the trade!! I smell another benched warmer/gooden through out the whole year.
Some times you just have to realize realisticly even acquiring this scrub we will not go anywhere!! Also getting this scrub will effect our future plans!!! You have to think about gains and loses!!!
Huge contract. Good player, not great, that was overpaid. Houston only picked him up to get Jordan Hill and future draft picks. Plus Houston had what the Spurs did not. McGrady's HUGE expiring contract.
Jared Jeffries is terrible...
This young lady can explain to you why...

@ Jared Jeffries
You guys are telling me you wouldn't trade Finley/Mason for Jeffries and 2 very high draft picks in 2011 and 2012? You guys are out of your minds.
Jeffries is only getting paid 7 mil next year also.
The fact that we're over the tax(And quite likely to be next year), makes it it very different deal to the one Houston made, add in Hill and it's a 9.5 million commitment(In Salary), For Hill(Probably a 4th/5th big next year behind TD, Splitter, Dyess and Blair), and Jeffries, who would probably be the backup SF. Add the tax, and it's 19 million for Hill, who may not have a spot in our rotation, A potential swap of picks and 1 more pick. 19 million for a pick?
Either an exorbitant price, if it's a late 1st, or a decent price, If it's high. On balance, not the same value for us as it was for Houston, As Hill takes over Landry's spot in the rotation and they're under the tax(and will be next year)
Yes!! As much as i hate saying it, I RATHER have them at least you dont have to deal with them next year if we dont sign them!!!
Your out of your mind thinking because he is tall that he can help!! This mofo/scrub doesnt know how to play ball(NBA Level).
Can someone informed please back me up here? D:
I think you're pretty much right.
You're off about the picks though, it's the right to swap picks in 2011 and 2012 free and clear.
The deal wasn't just about Tracy McGrady. The Knicks gave up expirings to make it work too, Larry Hughes they dumped was worth over 13 million.
The deal would have had zero impact on the luxury tax this season, and maybe could have saved the Spurs money with Mason/Bonner for Jeffries straight up plus 1 pick. Save the Knicks more money by giving Finley for Jordan Hill . . .
This was something doable by the Spurs. And not just for this year.
Anyone ever bother to look at next year? They'll have so many roster spots to fill with just the MLE and LLE (if Holt lets them spend it) and minimum salaries. They could have had Jordan Hill, a lottery big with some potential on a cheap contract for years, and Jared Jeffries for a single year would be better than re-signing Bogans or bringing back Finley.
Houston straight up owned the Knicks. Brutally.
Jared Jeffries has a bloated contract for the caliber player he is. He would have cost us a ton of money next year basically meaning we could not resign Manu and would be forced to fill out our roster with minimum scrubs.
If you want to make that trade purely for the picks then you concede you are in complete rebuilding mode and ready to blow up the team. If that's the case there are probably better options to rebuild then taking on an awful contract for next year.
lol "only"
Who in their right mind would trade 2 first round draft picks for Mason and Finley?
This thread is full of fail.
2009-10 Richard Jefferson > 1981-2010 Jared Jeffries. Jeffries is a fail.
