In one of the think tank threads Bruno proposed a sign-and-trade w/ NY of Jefferson for Curry and Wilson Chandler. Is this still possible? His rationale was that it would give the spurs a $10 million expiring contract to trade at the deadline and a young long three in chandler. Jefferson would get his long term deal. The knicks get a little more wiggle room under the cap to try and sign 2 max FAs.
How can this affect Tiago's decision?
This would eclipse the Scola trade if he doesnt come over lol...
Wait......... So if RJ opting out puts us under the new salary cap that means we don't have the MLE anymore to hand out? Or am I way off?

Yeah would be a slight silver lining I suppose.
Still though, to go from taking an expiring deal and turning it into a solid player to now praying you get a Matt Barnes or Rasual Butler is just a punch to the gut..
The Spurs will be either barely under or barely over the salary cap. Either way, they will still just have the MLE and LLE.

The Spurs will still have the MLE, LLE, and minimum contracts to offer. Read the thread.
I don't have to look very far.

Oh, I doubt he comes over. I see Hariston and a Free Agent playing SF for us next season.
Richard opting outcalls for a championship parade of its own on Friday! See You There!
With that said, lets work on next order of business. What to trade Parker for?

Did anyone remember Brent Barry coming, everyone has high expectations of him as a 3pt shooter, but his first season sucks, everyone thinks its a bad move, but later on he got used to the system and some praised him. As for RJ, I think we should give him a chance, look if he do what he's expected on the second year.
My 2 cents thought
Lets say NY or NJ wants to spend 40 mil over 4 years on . Spurs can sign and trade and receive a 10 mil trade exemption in return. They can then go out and use that chip now to find their starting SF. I think that's how it works. I'm sure RC has some sneaky like this up his sleeve...
I remember Elson had one nice dunk though
Now that I think of it, if RJ signs with a team using cap space, a sign-and-trade is likely. Doing a sign-and-trade will allow the other team to save a bit of salary cap space this season. It'll then give the Spurs a large trade exception. Having a trade exception in this market is gold.
Now we have to pray that RJ is going to a team with cap space. In other words, let's hope RJ is going back to New Jersey.
has anybody even thought of Holt maybe prepared to go over the luxury tax again to get someone BETTER than RJ?
and someone BETTER than all the trash that has been mentioned so far for LLE prices?
Maybe Holt just wants to get better value on his splurging.
just screwed himself and the Spurs.....gotta give the man props for giving up the cash. Maybe Cuban talked him into doing this lol
Well done.
Not counting the 96-97 disaster, these 5 would do:
Vinny Del Negro
Steve Smith
Samaki Walker
Paul Pressey
JR Reid
