Unfortunately it will take Neal or Tiago to get ride of Jefferson.
You would think that, but who in the is going to take him? There are too many better players who cost less than 1/2 the price.

God, I hope so.
I want to be pissed off at RJ, but it's not his fault that he's here.
Pop and RC are to blame. RJ was never a fit here. I knew they were off their rocker, when Pop talked about RJ "helping to fill the defensive hole that Bruce left". Huh? Are you kidding me? Talk about your misevaluations. RJ isn't even an average defender.
I don't know who else was available a couple of summers ago, but this was not the answer.
Why the Spurs did what they did is still beyond me. He was at worst an expiring deal whom they might have been able to move at the trade deadline, or just let him go at the end of the year. Instead, they were convinced somehow that basically bringing back last year's team was good enough if Parker, Manu, and Duncan rested over the summer.
He's done.
Get him the f*ck off this team. I don't care what it takes.
Huge disappointment. He might be good enough to be a bench player. Big 4 my wet ass.
What happened to him? He was solid most of the season. Bounced back after slumps better than ever but he was MIA in the playoffs. Fell right off a cliff never to be seen again.
Sadly, Finley played better than he has in the playoffs.
The same thing that happens to Vince Carter in the playoffs.....no wonder Kidd wanted out of NJ. Actually, to Carter's credit, he still TRIES to score and contribute.
The options they had were not good and they took the best bad option in RJ.
Jefferson is just a wasted roster space going forward.
The Spurs cannot afford to buy him out. They are stuck with him.
The rebuild will take at least 3-4 years. They will probably have to trade some of their young talent to get rid of RJ in the next year or so.
I wish they would get started on it in 60 days, but they will probably stand pat with on old broken down core. Management has to sell tickets next year and their best players are mostly past their prime.
This is rjs final worthwhile contract. HE'S done.
..but but but the RJ resigning was brilliant! Saved millions for Holt. Pop is a genius.
So are Pop and RJ going to do offseason workouts again? You can't change a mental midget Pop. You made your bed, now lie in it.
Would have to see what options are out there, but perhaps the Spurs can find another bad contract with shorter duration/years to it to turn around and dump off.....Orlando was basically able to trade for Arenas stright up, though they still owe him money, but that's the only general example I can think of right now. As long as we get something in return if we have to part with a piece so be it, no way dude sees the floor next year even if he's still an employee.
Of course, even he said that.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!! Jefferson was totally worthless out there.
RJ, Spurs 2010 1st for Biedrins...
Heck, add Bonner and Blair and get back Dorrel Wright as well.
He'll still be here. No one wants his ass. Start Anderson or Green or some other project guy and bring RJ off the bench.....
They'll find a way. It will hurt. Not as bad as the Scola trade, but something like Hill, Blair, or one or more of our other young assets to make it happen.
you just gave me the image of Pop n RJ laying in a bed together.. damn u I'm scarred for life!
In the past I would have scoffed at a Tony trade, but after the Barry ordeal, I soured on him a bit. That's a ty thing to do to a friend. If he was traded, he could end up possibly in LA or NY.
Everything LA has is old or fragile, everything of value in New York went to Denver.
Let us pray.
C'mon CBA!
I just don't understand why the resigned him? Spurs have made A LOT of mind boggling signings the last few years, but this by far is the worst.
