Are we still running a stripped playbook?
This troll reeks of stupidity.
Are we still running a stripped playbook?
It always takes a year to get used to the triangle.
He'll to better this Season, plus its his contract year. We just have to stop playing him at Power Forward. We got Tiago coming over, and Blair is probably going to get more minutes, so there should be no ing reason to play RJ at Power Forward.
Just work on that jumper RJ.
I didn't expect him to opt out. I really do think he'll be better this season, though. I'm not expecting superstar numbers, but I think we'll see better defense, more attacking, better shooting, and overall just better effort and hustle.
Most of the time when Pop chose to go small, it was not because the team is short-handed or something. It was just because Pop loves it.
This is a good news at all.
He will try to raise his performance in his expiring year. If he can't, we can use him in a trade easily. Good for us.
wheres all that attacking to the rim
sometime he just disappears in games or maybe players arent feeding him....
So true!
Question: given he was thinking to opt out looking for more "stability" with a contract of four years in range of 35/40 millions with Nets and nets evidently said no, given that we owe him already 15 millions just for this year...colud make any sense to propose him an extension at a little lower price range ? likey, a 5 millions for next three years after the current one ? so he could reach a little lower goal but still with the necessary stability (30 millions for four years) and we could have a decent player with a decent contract for the remaining "good" years of his career...
Predict Jefferson's stats for next season, GO:
15.3 PPG
6.2 RPG
1.5 APG
noice
Jefferson is a soft loser.
Nothing and nobody can change that.
At $15 millions, he is probably the most overpayed professional in sports.
That's sad enough.
To read that there are people actually HAPPY because he will be robbing the bank for one more year just makes me think that there is something fundamentally WRONG in the whole system.
Jefferson > Nothing. And he is not the most overpaid professional athlete even at the NBA level.
Eddy Curry disagrees.
More evidence that the system is wrong beyond any reasonable doubt.
I think the NBA is aware of this hence the pending lockout...
The notion of good years in the career of this guy is misleading and obsolete.
It's about time.
I don't think you understand why people are happy. RJ opting out would limit what we can do with this team. We wouldn't have $15 million to spend. We're over the cap right now. It would be handcuffing us a bit because we have to pay splitter and fill out the roster, AND replace RJ. No matter how bad RJ played he'd be better than a league minimum guy on the market. Him opting in on this allows the spurs to now have an expiring contract to move midseason (or before) for another player whose team is looking to shed salary. This is a good thing. This forces Holt to stick with the commitment of paying the luxury tax for at least 1 more year, and hopefully for the remainder of Duncan's career. Does that make sense?
A lot of rebounds and blocks = 12 & 0. And that 12 was a rare occasion when he gets double digits against quality compe ion.
He's still one of the best offensive big men in the game, but let's not pretend that he gives much value on the boards or as a shot blocker.
It is what it is. All that can be hoped for is that he does more good than harm.
rj's contract will look more attractive come february and if he has not panned out by then i would expect him to be shopped around enthusiastically
RJ must be move to the bench. If my expectations are correct Splitter will start with Timmy. That means we need a SF who can defend and hit the 3 from the corner. RJ wold be an asset on a second unit of Manu, Hill, Blair, and Dice. His skills complement these guys. At the trade deadline his contract will be very attractive.
RJ is better than a minimum salary project player which is the only type of player we could afford if he opted out. I would definitely rather have RJ than nobody.
HOW DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND THIS? I'll even say thanks for not opting out RJ.
You can still look to trade him and he can still improve in the Spurs system. I think he needs to lose some weight then he can get some speed back on defense. That is a key for RJ to lose some weight and get some lateral quickness back and make a concerted effort on defense from the get go.
It's also weird that I am willing to back him up a little bit now. I was saying last season in November or early December to trade him. Where were all you people back then??? Everyone said I was crazy to say RJ is no good and doesn't fit on the Spurs. I said this early last season! I just can't believe how most people thought I was way wrong. Now probably over 95% people agree that RJ isn't the greatest fit. Hardly anyone was willing to step up and say anything though.

Incorrect. "The system" didn't make Isiah Thomas give Eddy Curry that contract.
