No one respects or trusts RJ on this team. It was evident on the court. I don't care what the Spurs get for him, but I hope they move him. I have nothing against RJ, I think he tried pretty hard and was a decent guy, but I don't know if the Spurs players will ever warm up to him.
I guess I can see some kind of dramatic turn around in theory, but I don't think that is realistic.
Why the would NJ want RJ?
I knew that would happen. He is not worth what he is getting.
RJ staying put is good news. A few reasons:
1.) If he left, Spurs still wouldn't be under the salary cap; basically, losing a player without any way to replace him.
2.) Despite the fact that he didn't fit well, RJ is still more talented than 80% of the free agents on the market, and most of the remaining 20% would be out of the Spurs price range, even if they had the full MLE to play with (for the sake of Splitter, let's hope that they don't).
3.) On the optimistic end, players tend to fit better their 2nd year with the Spurs.
4.) On the less optimistic end fit-wise, at least he's a large expiring contract for the Spurs to play with.
exactly, this is definitaley a good news
Contract year, he'll play better. I hope he works on his J on the summer
i like this post. that's been my thoughts, i'm optimistic about rj. i've let him start over in my mind. until he proves otherwise, i'm believing he'll be much better
You mean teams weren't lineing up to pay him $15 million per season.
I just don't want to see him at PF anymore.
I would have settled for less talent if it meant a better fit.
Eh nothing we didn't all expect. There's a lot of positives with this so it's not really as bad as it seems. I don't they'd be even able to find any real good talent if he did opt out.
Anybody even on the fence about RJ coming back being good or bad is crazy.... he may have disappointed last year, but if he opted out, we were left with nothing. RJ>>>>>>>>>>nothing, believe it or not..... Plus, like mentioned before: Year 2 is historicly much better for new Spurs, and if he doesn't step up, he can be moved as an expiring.
Sarcasm or not... I'll like it.
Splitter doesn't really make it a problem unless it would prevent him from wanting to come over (I don't know if that's what you meant?)... I'll take a big man rotation of Timmy, Amare, Splitter, D. Blair, and Dice.... Give Timmy and Dice all the regular season rest we can stand.... and Dudley could ball here. Not as talented, but a way better fit at SF than RJ imo.
hopefully he turns some heads this year around.
If Jefferson is a starter all year, the Spurs are going to have some serious problems on both ends of the court..he would be a very solid 6th man, but he shouldn't be starting..the only way it could be passable is if he dramatically improves his 3-point shooting, but he really only had 1 season where he was a consistently good shooter, so it's safe to say that it was an anomaly..
Any chance we can trade him for Brand?
Duncan needs a guy that can get 20 and 10 next to him. Splitter will be too much of a gamble and with Brand, Spurs will be getting a guy that has many 20 and 10 years under his belt.
Get it done. Any thoughts?
This ain't 2006.
(can I get a blue Larry O'Brien?)
Brand had surgery on his Achilles over a year ago, he was due for a bad year getting used to things again. This year should be a breakout for him. IMO
And he's younger than Duncan.
LOL troll. Get out. He isn't good anymore.
Anyone wants Jermaine O'Neal on the team?
You wouldn't take Jermaine O'Neal over Bonner?
Not a fair question. Most Spurs fans would take Jermaine Jackson over Bonner.
That troll sucks.
, I'll take o..... or even, Mike. RIP
Spurs could probably get Igoudala when they get Brand too. BTW
