yeah expected, i want contract details.
Now the really important question is, what are the terms of the deal?
Also as expected the details are not disclosed and non of the usual sources have even noticed so far.
good.....what next
I tried to go to 'the other Spurs fan website' to see if any more information was available (long shot, but I was bored). My computer now blocks that site though as 'dangerous.' I noticed that 'mavtalk' has been like that for over a week now (from several computers). I wonder if this will be the final deathblow to the other site.
Expect 8 points on 2/20 shooting with a couple free throws
Great news! All the pieces are ready for our run at a championship next year. Would be nice to have a back up SF for spot minutes but I'll take the current roster against any other team out there. We are stacked from 1-8 and with Anderson and Bonner as 9 and 10 we have a very deep and talented team.
You serious? I mean, I love the spurs as much as the next fan but I wouldn't say we're stacked.

Little slow on the tweet today, but #spurs make Jefferson re-signing official:http://bit.ly/bKLT09 More to come ...
How can you look at those highlights and think that if RJ can do that on a more consistent level that he is a "bad fit" on this team? How many seasons did you people and complain about the Spurs needing an athletic wing who can dunk and block shots?
I just want consistency. I don't want nights where he is 1 for 8 and 3 rebounds. He's shown he can be good and he is. Just wasn't consistent enough. I thought he was overpriced at $15 million for what he was producing. If he can be more consistent and average around 15-16 pts and around 7-8 boards a game, I will be more than happy.
That is one of the things many people here forget. We have 3 all-stars (one of the GPFOAT), 1 former all-star (RJ), 1 great up and coming player (Hill), the best outside the NBA player, a beast waiting to be unleashed when matchups call for it, a serviceable big man who plays his heart out when it counts and has sweet stroke from mid range and rookie scoring wing with chip in his shoulder. On top of that, from 9-15 on the roster we have 40% 3pt stretch 4, several young athletic wings waiting for their chance and a couple of decent emergency PGs with system experience. On top of that we still could get 1 or 2 decent bench players with the LLE and remaining of the MLE. I like our chances.
I'm going to choose to be cautiously optimistic that the vaunted "everyone needs a year to learn the Spurs' system" line of thinking will apply to RJ and that better things are to come with increased familiarity.
For the record, though, I don't think it's particularly realistic to be that optimistic . . . .
RJ hasn't ever been an All-Star.

But the Spurs do have a one-time former All-Star: McDyess:

I'm thinking 4 years with the 4th year as a team option at around $25.5 total.
I don't think his contract will go past Manu and Tim's. So I think its 3 years.
If RJ is putting up numbers like that it means that someone out of the big 3 is hurt. No way that RJ gets those kind of numbers having to share touches with Tim, Tony and Manu all playing.
The 12 & 4 RJ averaged last year would be just fine this year if those numbers came with the following:
- a more consistent scoring where every night he was between 8-16 instead of scoring 20 one night and 4 the next.
- an improvement in his 3pt %
- fewer defensive lapses
I'd set the over/under at $9 million per season for RJ's contract.
I'm hopeful for the under but I'd probably bet on the over.
At least we might get to see a few sweet dunks again...
Quit showing off your wisdom there chief.
I have to agree.
I hope it's on the under as well, although I can see him getting 9-10 million per on a 3 yr deal. ( The shorter the deal, the more expensive the salary will be per year; vice versa- longer the deal, the less expensive the salary will be per year.)
Hoping we get Tiago'd . . .
Weirdly, I can see that. The signings have been consistently surprising: Bonner getting resigned and with a raise, then Splitter getting signed for peanuts. RJ will probably still be overpaid in most people's eyes.
