Rj coming back

[HarlemHeat37]

What exactly can Pop do for him?..

He doesn't have any lateral quickness and he often shows poor basketball IQ..the best we can hope for is that he improves his shooting and picks up better on the system(rotations, hot spots)..

He is better than nothing since he adds to depth purposes, but is it worth having him for 3 more years?..

[Trainwreck2100]

you people realize this hasn't been confirmed right?

[Sisk]

I'm betting between 8-10 million a season for 4-5 years.

I think it's a positive thing. He's getting more comfortable with his contract, taking less per year which helps holt's checkbook/cap space, and he's showing he wants to be better by working out with pop 1 on 1.

Hopefully by us scratching his back, he'll scratch ours. (waiting for gay jokes tbh)

[Creation88]

all you ing re s suddenly caring for Richard Jefferson because you valued his CONTRACT have now morphed into you wanting him here long term!? WTF unbelievable

you guys will also be the first to about him on this forum

[EricB]

interesting indeed, we lose our big trade piece but at least we still have a starting sf. we arent going to find anyone of RJs calibur despite the bad fit - plus now we can operate with our LLE for another potential back up SF with RJ here or not.

Under the luxury tax, which makes giving the FULL MLE to Splitter more palatable to Holt, and able to build depth with the LLE.

Can't reveal who they have in mind for the LLE but I was surprised when I heard it.

That's a strike against your sources. McD is an assclown.

WE'RE his ing source

I cant stand RJ, never could....however, I cannot be too down on him about last year. Pop's system is tough to learn, especially for a player who has a history of playing on teams that don't play defense. It usually takes a year to get adjusted. I feel that next season he should be much improved and far more comfortable with the team and the system on both ends.

[EricB]

Passes the common sense test. 3yrs/24M would be great, wouldn't be surprised if its more.

Yeah like I said I wasn't given numbers, purely my guess, and was told the contract was quote "nicer"

Richard Jefferson’s decision to opt out of the final $15 million season of his contract might not be a sign he’s willing to leave the San Antonio Spurs.

Sources said Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has been personally working out Jefferson in San Antonio. The free-agent forward could re-sign with the team at a number that lowers the franchise’s luxury-tax hit while guaranteeing him more money on the back end of a multiyear contract.

Whatever makes you feel better.

See ya, nobody likes fans like you anyway.

the choice is between letting jefferson walk for nothing or giving him an extended contract that would tie up money for the next few years. hard decision. jefferson hasn't proved he can stay with the spurs long term, so why give him a longer contract? but if he walks, spurs get nothing in return except for massive tax relief.

I think the choice has already been made. Like stated many times it's highly doubtful RJ would opt out of 15 mil without another deal in place. Pop personally working out with him shows they are both dedicated to try and make it work. The biggest gripe on RJ all year long was that he was making 15 mil a year. Now he will make what hes worth and save the spurs some money. Great deal for both parties.

This is good news if this is in fact what happens. As Harlemheat said Rj would make a good 6th man. His defensive deficiencies would not be exposed as much playing against another team's second unit, their second unit can play a faster tempo which is where RJ can be at his best, and he will get more touches.

I wouldn't have minded Jefferson being moved for the right pieces, but the fact of the matter is he is the most talented option the Spurs have at the SF position. He also makes for a good 4th option, or a deadly 5th option if Hill continues to improve.

well then take your fairweather ass on and dont let the door hit ya where the good Lord split yeah....to stop watching them cause of RJ is stupid.

Now if you were to stop because they signed Karl Malone, I would understand, and think strongly about joining you. But RJ is nowhere near the putrid level that Malone was, not even in the same galaxy.

correct im not, but how many times have we said here and poof it gets reported?

[ducks]

I said the same thing in middle of the season.

[SenorSpur]

Probably a back-loaded contract that will ease the financial burden on the Spurs.

No one is stopping you on here. Let it spill
