I can deal with RJ coming back, but they need to work with him on his three point shooting.
i hope he gets a splitter-type amazing deal. anything more than 3yrs/$20 million would be pushing it.

fail
he gave up 15m to sign 3/20m? drop the crack pipe
We believe you
No worries

Well, Don... that didn't work out.
What's up with this guy?
Are the Spurs waiting to see who else they sign with the rest of the MLE to work out a contract that doesn't put them over the tax?
Are they lowballing him now that no other team seem interested?
Anybody have any updates?
yeah its been real quiet when it comes to jefferson
He's probably in shock that nobody wants him..he's still taking it in that his stock has fallen so much..
Holt and the front office are probably in tears, since they pretty much have to sign him to a multi-year deal, which will be a failure either way, but I guess there is no better option..
Both sides are saddened..give them time..
Any news from the sources?
BTW, it would be Bonzi Wells-esque if he gets a contract for about $15m
for shoo spurs are just delaying the inevitable what a shame
we can say whatever we want, RJ is the best option spurs have right now. I really hope they find an agreement quickly
I agree with Brazil. Sign him and do it now. There aren't a lot of options that are better out there. They need to get this done.
Spurs will definitely be worse off without RJ. They need to sign him up quickly and hopefully they can do it for 3 years. I was impressed with RJ's improvements on the defensive side of the ball as the season progressed. He rebounded well and is still a big strong athletic body. Offensively they're definitely problems but it won't get any worse, everyone knows players significantly improve after there 1st season with the Spurs. He might not be the best fit, but he is by far the best player available at that position.
I'm not saying they don't need to do it, I'm wondering what's the delay... I'm also wondering if they're lowballing him now that nobody wants to have him.
I mean, if the Spurs asked him to opt out, then I can see a pre-arranged deal, but I haven't read anywhere that they did.
spurs have a low offer on him
why offer more no one wants him
Could be a lot of things. I definitely could see the Spurs trying to low ball him a little on years or I could see RJ wanting to wait it out for that offer from new jersey to somehow appear.
Well, if they had something pre-arranged, then you honor that.
The question is wether they did have something, or RJ simply thought he would fetch good value out there and it backfired.
I don't think the Spurs and RJ had anything pre arranged. I don't think the Spurs objected to RJ opting out and then told him they would like to have him back. IMO it's RJ who is trying to delay this thing. Spurs need to re-sign them and they know this.
they did not atleast publically they acted surprise
if they had a prearranged deal they would have already got it done
Since when did we all decide to pretend that we forgot RJ doesn't fit into the Spurs system and basically sucks. Even at his best last year he wasn't anything special. Crap defense. He quit shooting 3ptrs completely even though he was supposedly a 40% 3ptr. I just don't see why everyone on this board wants him back. I know the Spurs don't have another proven SF but anyone would be better than limpy y. IMO the Spurs FO should be doing cartwheels that he opted out. The fact that no other team wants him proves that he really isn't that good.
Ok, maybe it's not a fact. But if another team outbids the Spurs and snatches RJ from our clutches I won't be crying.
Neither will the Spurs if they can snatch a big fat trade exception...
And get who?
From who is the better question.
