What exactly did RJ do as a Spur that makes so many people think he's invaluable? I'd be willing to see him brought back on the gamble that he can improve with another training camp, but he's very unlikely to be a make-or-break piece for the Spurs.
There's not way Butler is gonna sign for a 10m/4y contract.
I don't care if RJ comes back. The only thing that a don't want is a long-term bad contract. I imagine RJ wants 40M/4y. It's way too much for him.

That's the thing..
Interior defense and the lack of a productive bench (Mason, Bogans, Bonner) were the two factors that hurt the Spurs the most, not so much R.J.
Splitter will help the interior D.
And Anderson, Hairston, Temple are already better than Mason and Bogans.
If they aren't, then no amount of RJ is going to help.
Having a real center (which the Spurs didn't have AT ALL) also means Blair and Bonner don't have to play out of position. Let's hope Splitter plays like a center.

Unfortunately, Jeffersons poor rotations were a huge part of why our defense was bad at times. That and his three point shooting. In reality, his shortcomings were the epitome of our issues last season.
Hopefully this year Jefferson will not have to think and can just react and has time to work on his shot rather than completely focus on the playbook.
I know everyone wants to think that RJ is cooked but it makes more sense that he will move back towards his statistical norms. He is 30 not 35 after all.

Unless Cleveland raises multi-year offer that starts around $3.5M, Matt Barnes will sign a 1-year, $1.7M deal with Lakers, sources tell Y!

Lakers planning 2 address likely loss of Josh Powell 2 ATL by signing veteran bigTheo Ratliff for one year, $1.3M. Story up soon on NBA.com.

Ratliff link: http://bit.ly/9NR6hr BTW, Ratliff does not impact Lakers' pursuit of Barnes; LAL trying to sign Barnes with remainder of MLE.
Any chance we can go after Shannon Brown?

No Edgar. Spurs are already over crowded at the SG spot and probably don't have the money.
Thanks.
Damn, I know some people scoffed at Scola's deal, but he's a good deal compared to RJ.
5/47 only if incentives are met for year five, and 4/38.8 with a player option.
Both are 30, but one relies on savvy and skill while the other relies on declining athleticism.
David Aldridge daldridgetnt
Celtics and MarquiS Daniels reach agreement on 1-year, $2.5M deal. Story up soon on NBA.com.

Solid signings for the Lakers in getting both Barnes and Ratliff.
I thought Ratliff was done...
I just hope he and Mahinmi don't have better seasons than Splitter does.I thought Ratliff was done...
That's obviously not possible.
I distinctly remember Kevin Garnett telling me anything was possible (but I think he spelled it differently).
Nice. I quoted myself with the BUMP. I just had a feeling...The Lakers need another reason not to like them. I have no problem with us not getting him.
We'll be fine.
Good call
True. Young Spurs draft picks are incapable of playing...oh .
I would like to sign Shannon brown with the LLE. It would at least bring some excitement off the bench.
yah spurs do need 9 guards
We just signed Mario Ellie 2.0! What's not exciting about that?
