The Spurs need to not sign him. They also need to NOT take back any contracts, unless it's a passable SF. We've already taken out the garbage. No need to take on more just to get a higher raise per year.
The only way this could work, is if the Spurs got about 4 or 5 million under the cap, KEPT the MLE and LLE
and could convince a FA with the 5 million in capspace to sign.
Other than that, I do not see hwo this is a good thing for the Spurs bad fit or not...
lets get one thing straight: Jefferson was NOT gonna do a damn thing to help this team with a Championship this year. we witnessed that last year. at the very least he was gonna remain a scapegoat for all you ing idiots that are now defending him.
I think that Jefferson can blame one bad year on adjustment and not fitting in, but 2 bad years could have spelled doom and gloom for next off-season. This way, he doesn't look so bad, and some team will think he would work well on their roster.
The only one happy is Holt.
Anyone do the math of how much this saves Holt?
Party at his house tonight . . .
Yeah its possible, but, I guess we will just have to wait but I just again don't see how that could work.
We shall see....
Barnes is so far down on the pecking order of this game of "financial" musical chairs, he may not get an offer until mid-July.
Seriously though, there is a lot of money out there in a very volatile free agent market. With the players that have hit the market, I simply can't imagine Barnes having "unrealistic" salary expectations.

Jefferson also knew how little use Popovich had for him and money may not have been worth another year of misery there. Pop rode him hard.

You're going to no matter what so why should we care what you expect?
That can't happen. You can use cap space or the MLE, not both.
yeah holt loves not winning le
It's Matt Barnes. I can maybe believe some stupid spurned FA suitor money might make it down to the Jefferson level, but it will never make it down to the bottom feeders like Matt Barnes.
according to 82games.com, rj played the vast majority of his minutes at sf, and about 16% of his time at the pf spot.
When in the starting lineup, he was clearly the sf, with duncan and dice on the floor.
wow, just wow. I trust that the FO will figure something out, for some reason this makes me excited
Not if he still gives a about winning.
we are under the cap $5 mil. we're at 52.6 mil and the salary cap was $57.7 mil. dumbass.
Well, after that I think he won't be back
Matt Barnes has said on many occasions (don't quote me on it though) that he likes to play in the coastal areas.
How many people have to tell you how ing re ed you are until you stop posting?
Oh and the front office better plug in a small forward that can actually shoot from the outside. It was ugly watching the non-existent spacing. Another year would have been painful.
I'm starting to like this non-RJ thing.
b.y.o.b.
Alright I'm getting two different stories now.....
Yeah... no matter what, the Spurs have only MLE and LLE (or cap space worth the MLE plus the LLE).
RJ to the Nets for a protected second round pick. Spurs get a trade exception for the value of RJ's new first year salary. No real reason for the Nets not to do it.
We are not under the cap. We are under the luxury tax. Why are you still talking?
