Spurs won't extend RJ, after Duncan retires that's the last thing they need.
I also believe he'll get better next season. We'll just have to wait and see but I hope he works on his jump shot this offseason.

Lol rj
its final year of his contract....so am assuming he will play well to atleast get a decent contract
I imagine the Spurs are thinking of doing a couple of things with RJ.
1. If the right team comes with the right players or draft picks we could move him this summer.
2. They can keep him and hope he becomes a better player for one year. After that year they could sign him multi year which I doubt.
3. They can keep him and then 15 mill off the books next year.
My question to Spurs fans if they do trade him what players would you want in return? You could probably get two decent players and maybe a second round draft pick.......your thoughts?
Why? All he would do is stunt the growth of the youth that we are going to need to be focusing on...extending him is dumb...extending him for 3 years so he can play with Duncan till he retires is idiotic.
He'll be better thanks to our hall of fame coach. The 'you play like a dog' tactic worked pretty well. Hopefully the staff can use that repeatedly next season and the team and city reap the glory.
Good as gone?????
Disagreed, RJ needs to lose weight, needs to lock himself in a b-ball gym and shoot a million times, and he needs to get back to his athletic self (the one we saw in New JERSEY). He will probably not meet these requirements so he won't be better.
Yeah, RJ is not good at creating shots off the dribble. That's not his game. He's an adequate jumpshooter, and a slightly better slasher. Running him off of curls ala Ray Allen won't do much good. I wouldn't mind seeing the coaching staff incorporate that into Ginobili's and Hill's games, but I digress...
RJ excels in transition, but unfortunately the Spurs weren't good enough defensively to create enough transition opportunities for him. That likely won't change next year, unless Splitter is all-world, which is doubtful. What Pop needs to get RJ to do is shoot thousands of 3-pointers from the corner during the off-season and hammer into his brain the mentality to drive hard to the hoop if he's run off the line. If you add playing defense and rebounding like he did at the end of the year to those tweaks in his game, it'll be an improvement over last year. Here's hoping...
