Backing up RJ

One of the biggest questions entering the San Antonio Spurs’ training camp was who will back up Richard Jefferson? The team appeared to have a glaring hole behind RJ, one that became even more pronounced when thinking about Jefferson struggling as much in his second year with the Spurs as in his first.

Through three preseason games, Jefferson looks both more comfortable and aggressive on the floor. His numbers don’t reflect that change yet, but RJ’s game passes the eye test. With the Spurs probably employing many three-guard sets featuring Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and George Hill this season, there won’t be extended minutes available behind Jefferson. But there will be enough to make an impact, for better or worse.

IMO I think the FO were trying to find a decent backup sf on the cheap, but by playing more 3 guard sets, they won't necessarily need a backup sf to play meaningful minutes. I don't see the Spurs spending alot of dough, or trading a major piece for a backup sf.

It doesn't make much sense to trade anyone significant for a backup SF just to leave a hole somewhere else.
