Rj coming back

[mingus]

this is good because the spurs were so ed at sf if he left. I expect him to do a lot better this year, esp his shooting.

[Ice009]

There isn't anybody that is "surprising" for the LLE, unless it's McGrady, like objective said, or somebody like Iverson(obviously not a SF)..who else would be considered "surprising"?..

I thought Shaq would be surprising. To me a surprising player would be someone who was a superstar like Shaq and McGrady that you'd never have been able to get for LLE type of money. Iverson would fit the bill too.

[SenorSpur]

Jefferson gone helps the cash flow, but makes the team weaker as they'd be hard pressed to find a decent replacement, assuming the MLE goes to Splitter and they couldn't work out a S&T with Jefferson.

We'll see if he is the kind of player who needs time to figure out the Spurs' system and will show significant improvement in season two. Assuming whatever le window remains is fast closing (instead of already closed), keeping him at a lower per season price is better than not.

Splitter, Anderson, and health will fuel whatever last hurrah remains for the Duncan era Spurs.

Somehow I don't see another season with the team helping RJ become a better defender or making him a more prolific 3-pt shooter.

Hopefully they can find a suitable, cheap backup SF. After all, this will most certainly be the "last hurrah".

Some random foreign dude

[My Fault]

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.

This and that any money shaved off RJ's contract is double the savings when in the luxury tax.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Nope

Like I said me and the source go way back and I'd like to keep it that way.

i think i have to ask you a question you keep on askn KBP, link source biatch

lies all lies

[DesignatedT]

damn eric b just pm'd me, brace yourself wow this player is going to be a perfect fit
its brian cardinal

[DPG21920]

Lol people cite the sources info all the time in the media. It's how they break stories. Why do you think they have them. Also lol at claiming sources on something that was reported well before your thread, WTF

[Marcus Bryant]

Jefferson's alright. Just not $15 mil + lux tax for a season alright.

If I'm looking for scapegoats/real issues for last season's disappointment, I'd start with the bigman rotation.

[mingus]

Last time I read Eric b had a source and he created a thread for it and it turned out 2 not pan out. Pretty sure it was Eric b

[Ice009]

What info has this source given you in the past that has been correct? I'd like a track record of this source to back this up a little.

Then you're talking about RJ... lol

[EricB]

I didn't do it to be the FIRST, just thought I'd let people know when I heard it.


Sorry....

[objective]

was it the source who picked the Cavs in 4 in 07? Or am I remembering it wrong?

[Marcus Bryant]

Not to mention TP's health.

Of course, if he's already headed to LA or NY mentally, then we might as well start counting the odds....

[Mr Bones]

I have a source too. He's on the inside-- way inside-- and he's really smart and he told me something very important and surprising. I wish I could share it with y'all, but I can't.

[crc21209]

Well if EricB...(and I trust the guy) is right...then this is good news. RJ working out with Pop is a very good sign as well. It's obvious the guy wants to improve, work hard, and probably do whatever he can to fit in with this team. What better way to start than by working out with Pop. Because if he really would bolt this team would be royally ed with no starting SF...

[Thompson]

Come on EricB, give us a hint. At least tell us the position (SF?). Is it LeBron? It's LeBron, isn't it?! LeBron for the LLE!!!

[SenorSpur]

RJ working out with Pop is indeed a good sign. It also surprising, given the manner in which he bolted out of the locker room, without talking to the media, following that series-clinching win by the Suns in Game 4.

[Marcus Bryant]

Then you're talking about RJ... lol

Cause, not effect.

. Hey EricB at least tell us this...it's not somebody that was on the Spurs last year right? Like Mason, Bogans, Bonner, etc.

[scottspurs]

Here is a list of potential shocking LLE signings IMO:

Josh Childress
Tony Allen
Michael Finley
Shaq
Big Z
Kwame Brown
Adam Morrison
Derek Fisher
Jermaine O'Neal
Udonis Haslem
John Salmons
Kurt Thomas
Darko M
T-Mac
Eddie House
Allen Iverson
Rasho
Oberto
Josh Howard

These would all be surprising to me.

I dont blame him. He had just gotten swept....

[Creation88]

people buying into EricB's source BS. hahahaha ST is always worth laughs.

[ElNono]

Cause, not effect.

On a serious note, Splitter should help with that if he comes over...
