Spurs sign and trade to get exception?
Id trade RJ for Beasley and either cash or another throw in player.
Possible, but then who can you get with the trade exception?
I would def do a RJ for Beasley trade, despite the high risk
Hey, I'm all for options when it comes to a possible sign-and-trade.
If the Spurs could get a 7-8M exception or a player and a 3-5M exception for RJ, I'm all for it.
RJ for Beasley would be a win imo
Not a big fan of Beasley but it's definitely better than letting RJ walk if that's the only alternative.
Can't use a trade exception to sign a player out right, you'd have to do a sign-n-trade
I'd rather see them wait out NJ, but it wouldn't be a bad fall back option.
beasley is a scrub
rj isn't? at least beasley is still very young.
Richard Jefferson for Michael Beasley I would consider a win for the Spurs. Get it done Pop/RC.
You know why its called a TRADE exception?
Beasley is by no means a scrub, but he's not the guy you want trying to chase quicker players around on the perimeter as your starting small forward either. Beasley would be coming in with his own set of concerns as to how he would fit in on this team.
Miami would be extremely stupid to get Jefferson IMO..
I realize they're going to need a SF(assuming Lebron doesn't go there), but Jefferson doesn't fit there at all..Wade is a good defender, but he isn't good enough(or big enough) to hide Jefferson's horrible D..Wade can't shoot at a consistent level from the 3-point line, so adding Jefferson hurts their spacing..
I hope they do it for the Spurs sake, but it would be a bad addition..
true, I guess he's not getting paid much yet, so it wouldn't be terrible. I just don't see it improving the Spurs much unless we get more out of it.
Beasley would play PF. It wouldn't be horrible as McDyess would be able to go into full Robert Horry mode.
A trade exception is used to acquire players already under contract on a team, not free-agents. So if there are teams with a player they'd like to remove for financial reasons, you can take that player off their hands with nothing more than an exception that covers his salary. But you can't combine the exception with anything (players or assets) and you must use it within 365 days.
I'm praying to baby Jebus the Spurs can con Kahn into giving the (preferably) Webster or Brewer or that Morey would be willing to get rid of Ariza or Battier's contract. Those are probably a little unrealistic -- you could throw Pietrus in there as well -- but that'd be the perfect kind of scenario to play out.
Two guys that could definitely be had would be Posey or Garcia but they're not exactly the types you want to be had.
There are going to be options, I'm just hoping the Spurs will have them made available to them -- first order of business is to get the trade exception.
I dunno, I haven't seen him play any defense so far during his time in the league. He can get hot and score sometimes but by and far he's not efficient enough and he takes way too many shots. Conclusion: he's a scrub...for now, he could correct some of his ways though.
Another concern on Beasley is that exactly one year from now he's going to be looking for a FAT contract extension.
That should give him incentive to play well then.
You couldn't be all that disappointed if the Spurs got a talent like him in a contract year and a nice trade exception but I've heard that they'd like to keep Beasley -- and would be willing to -- if they don't land another max-type contract.
It might just be a straight trade exception available.
So we'd still be in need of a legitimate starting small forward and would have a logjam at power forward. Don't get me wrong, I like Beasley, he's young and incredibly talented. , I'd probably pull the trigger on an RJ for Beasley deal. But it would still leave the Spurs with a flawed roster. If you add Beasley, you probably have to move Blair or Dyess.
