Package the pick with Jefferson, Blair, McDyess' expiring for Kaman (his contract year) and Gomes.
We need this guy:
Package the pick with Jefferson, Blair, McDyess' expiring for Kaman (his contract year) and Gomes.
1) draft a shotblocking center with good wingspan and atleast 7 ft tall.....
2) trade RJ
3) draft a defensive SF
Get the softies out... I know, easier said than done.
This team hasn't reacted well to physicality since Bowen and Oberto walked out of that door... It got worse with Tim and Manu's decline...
It sucks. We could have had Wesley Matthews or Patrick Mills. Instead we took this guy and he turned out to be a scrub.
Why should we have to draft a center in such a weak draft class?
Cant we just use Ryan Richards? Hes got all the tools to be developed.
We should be looking for a defensive SF or F like Gerald Wallace, Artest etc.
I'm with that.
I expect big changes this offseason. A roster overhaul appears to be looming. There's absolutely no reason to retain RJ, Parker and Bonner. Hill and Blair could also become trade fodder. Stockpiling younger players and picks should be the new order of the day.
No one would want RJ's contract except maybe the Timberwolves or the Magic?
It depends on what pop want to do next year.
Does he consider to develop Splitter and Anderson for at least 15 min per game ? Or consider them not ready yet ?
If he plan to develop them, draft a long defensiv SF. If not draft the very long brazilian :

It's over for next year anyway. At least make a new oversea project that we could talk for hours
At #29 priorities are out the window...
The draft or minor moves aren't getting the Spurs a championship.
Better long term to bite the bullet and get best value possible for Parker, Ginobili, and if he agrees - Duncan and restock the shelves for the future.
LA did the same thing when they dealt Shaq. They had Kobe at a young age for the transition though. SA has no such young core piece.
unfortunately, his contract is bad. Real bad.
PHX wouldn't want anything to do with RJ. Pietrus has announced he's picking up his option if I understood PHX media reports correctly. AND they still have Childress and Dudley under contract for at least the next 3 years and beyond. PLUS they just went through watching Carter slide into oblivion. They won't want anything to do with Jefferson.
NY has small forwards, including Melo. They won't want anything to do with him either. Even if they did, the only way they could match salaries would be with sending Billups and taking back players like Hill or Bonner.
NJ doesn't want anything to do with RJ. The whole reason he opted out was to get more money from NJ with SA as his fallback. They decided to waste money on players like Outlaw instead. If they had wanted him, they would have had him.
The only interest Toronto would have in him is if A. they've lost their minds, which is possible or B. they want to get rid of Calderon badly enough to take on an extra year of RJ's trash. I guess they could do it to get Hill. And Calderon would be a decent back-up to Parker whose terrible defense would probably make him a favorite of New-Pop (post 2008 Bowen benching).
As far as LAC : Aminu >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jefferson.

Jefferson has NO value. Actually, he has NEGATIVE value. He is a past his prime, athletically backsliding, passive, unclutch, overpaid s of a reputation.
Except his 3 pt%, every big playoff stat is worse than last year, and that was hard to accomplish. Even his 3pt shot didn't hit when it counted.
Plus his lackluster defense. Plus his softness. Plus everything else you imagine.

The most likely way to see Jefferson off this team is if the new CBA has another "Allan Houston" rule in effect and Holt bites the bullet and cuts him.
that's the problem with Jefferson and Bonner contracts. Nobody in the league wants them.
Now we're stuck with them and can't rebuild.
We made a huge mistake by giving Jefferson and Bonner those contracts.
a past-prime Jefferson for 3y/30m ? A scrub that should be making the minimum making 3m/year ?
They have negative value. The only team i see giving RJ a chance is the Nets, but we would have to take Outlaw's contract back. And that's not gonna happen.
Championship? That window has now closed.
It's time to start stockpiling assets and begin the rebuilding process.
