RICHARD JEFFERSON opts OUT!!

[Creation88]

How many people have to tell you how ing re ed you are until you stop posting?

it's true. he's wasted ing space. can't argue that moron.

[pjjrfan]

Wow, things are looking up.

[EricB]

we are under the cap $5 mil. we're at 52.6 mil and the salary cap was $57.7 mil. dumbass.

Alright dumbass

how do you sign a SF and Tiago Splitter at the same time now?


Waiting...

[Nazrat]

Welcome to the starting lineup, James Anderson!

[Juanobili]

Let's just get rid of Bonner and Mason now lol

[JamStone]

Matt Barnes would hang up the phone laughing at 1.8 r u kidding me?!

Do you realize how much Matt Barnes played for the last two seasons?

He must do a really ty job of selling himself or have a really horrible agent.

He might not give $1.8 million serious consideration with all that free agent money teams have this off season, but I don't think he'd laugh or hang up.

[DesignatedT]

Quick question: let's say he opts out of his 15 mil year deal. Could we sign him back for less $ not including now money? Do we have any kind of rights like that or we can only offer the mle to him?

[ChuckD]

we are under the cap $5 mil. we're at 52.6 mil and the salary cap was $57.7 mil. dumbass.

That was last year's cap, and you don't have the placeholders up to 13 roster spots in there. dumbass.

[spursfaninla]

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.

Tim, do you really want to be back to what we had pre-RJ? Because that is what we are looking at.

If we are lucky, sure we get a 3pt shooter. But what else are we getting from an LLE starter and a vet min backup?

I think best case is a defensive sf who can shoot the 3, and a scrub defender.

[Das Texan]

The ? No. Pop defended RJ and said that he was getting too much blame for the Spurs not clicking from what I've heard.

What Pop says in public probably isnt want Pop says behind closed doors.

[Spurs Brazil]

Butler and Jones are two names that fit the shooting thing but I don't know how far a team can go with Butler or Jones starting at SF.

And I think we can get one of them with LLE

[Marcus Bryant]

[EricB]

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.

That would be the only bright side in this happening.

Thats the only way I can see them getting something sometime to replace the SF position.

Spurs retain full Bird Rights and can sign him to any size contract without affecting their MLE.

Trade for Hedo!

[jag]

it's true. he's wasted ing space. can't argue that moron.

lol we have people in here hoping the Spurs can sign Matt Barnes. hoping for Matt Barnes. The spurs have one more shot at a deep playoff run and youre pimping Hairston and Gee. Stop ing posting

[Creation88]

We are not under the cap. We are under the luxury tax. Why are you still talking?

according to this: http://hoopshype.com/salaries/san_antonio.htm we're at $52.6 mil w. Jefferson off the books.

and according to this last year's SALARY cap was $57.7: http://www.nba.com/2009/news/07/07/s....ap/index.html

[TDMVPDPOY]

we are under the cap $5 mil. we're at 52.6 mil and the salary cap was $57.7 mil. dumbass.

given that the left over is 5m greater/smaller then MLE value...

should we sign splitter to remainin capspace of 5m or the MLE?

then split MLE + LLE fill up roster needs?

ps. why not just sign matt barnes to a contract for 1yr rental he cant refuse?

[Kori Ellis]

For those who are questioning, it doesn't matter if the Spurs are a little over or a little under the salary cap when it comes in. They are only going to have the same amount of money to spend. And if Splitter is eating the MLE, then basically they have the LLE and minimum contracts.

Yes, Spurs have RJ Birds Right

[SenorSpur]

Obviously, this puts the Spurs in sort of dire straits. However, I simply couldn't envision the Spurs being successful with RJ at SF. He's not a bad player at all. He was simply a terrible fit here.

Personally, I couldn't take watching another year of him struggle to fit in. Even late in the season, he was making the same mistakes on his defensive rotations that he was making early in the season. He just never caught on.

Watching him trying to fit into this team was like watching a drunk stagger up and down the street looking for loose change.

Now, we'll see what direction the Spurs go in.

[EricB]

Phila is connected, so I'd say Pop said that in private as well...

You have to add in a hold amount for each player to fill out the roster.

No matter what, the Spurs have the MLE and LLE - that's it.
