may have been one of hte top 5 worst Spurs ever.
For every 1 game he would go off, you had 10 games of him being beyond useless.
Can anyone envision the conversation between the Spurs and Tiago, trying to convince him to take less than the MLE?

Instead of crying about it, let's deal with it, RJ is opting out. Now what are the realistic best case scenarios?
Pretty much.
the S&T would be a god send but also dependent on what they got back...
Switch your #4 and #5.
Yes.
Tears running down Buford's face as he prays Tiago says yes.
It is either re-signing RJ or sign and trade him elsewhere for a trade exception. There is no in-between, the Spurs have to sign him or else they are ed.
Keeps his arms and legs.
Enough for a backup SF spot though.
Congrats, guys.
Dunno what its worth but McDonald says the Spurs are open to giving Jefferson a LTD supposedly for a more cap friendly figure....
A redemption song more to your liking?
Of course.
peter holt is like this right now:
The story of the Spurs:
6. Trade Antonio and sign Ian
7. S&T Ian
At least he helped in 2007.A redemption song more to your liking?

Hearing #spurs would be open to giving RJ a longer term deal at a per-year figure that's easier on their cap figure.

Thanks Mel. I for one am hoping this is the case
If a team is below the cap, then their Disabled Player, Bi-Annual, Mid-Level and/or Traded Player exceptions are added to their team salary, and the league treats the team as though they are over the cap. This is to prevent a loophole... A team can't act like they're under the cap and sign free agents using cap room, and then use their Disabled Player, Bi-Annual, Mid-Level and/or Traded Player exceptions. Consequently, the exceptions are added to their team salary (putting the team over the cap) if the team is under the cap and adding the exceptions puts them over the cap...
So being under the cap does not necessarily mean a team has room to sign free agents. For example, assume the cap is $49.5 million, and a team has $43 million committed to salaries. They also have a Mid-Level exception for $5 million and a Traded Player exception for $5.5 million. Even though their salaries put them $6.5 million under the cap, their exceptions are added to their salaries, putting them at $53.5 million, or $4 million over the cap. So they actually have no cap room to sign free agents, and instead must use their exceptions.

I agree that this sucks and sets the Spurs up for financial issues this summer, but RJ was advised to protect himself with a potential lockout looming in 2011. I'm confident that the Spurs will not be left high and dry when all is said and done. The front office is too saavy, IMO. I think the following scenarios could explain what's going on:
1.) RJ wants an extended deal with the Spurs to protect himself from the looming lockout or feels he won't be able to get decent money elsewhere in the future.
2.) RJ already has a pre-determined destination.
3.) Spurs have a sign-and-trade proposal worked out that works for both parties.
4.) RJ is so miserable in SA that he decided to leave $15 million on the table and take his chances. I doubt he's doing this blindly, though.
old mcdonald.

Richard Jefferson maybe made smarter play by opting out of #Spurs deal: http://bit.ly/d0kicN

You think it's unlikely?
