Haha true but Maggette had a 10+mil/yr offer to turn down.
Spurs will get Butler or Howard. If the 4 teams vying for a small forward are NJ, Spurs, Bulls, and Clippers, then chances are high Spurs get Butler. I'll bet one of those three teams, NJ, Bulls, and Clippers will try and get Jefferson off the waiver wire, where he'll be a big discount.

Josh Howard and Caron Butler would be a fantastic tag team at SF. Give caron some minutes at SG while Leonard plays the 3 and we'd have a wicked combo on the wings to go alongside Manu and Tony
PG Parker/Neal
SG Manu/Butler
SF Howard/Leonard
That is wicked. Now to get rid of Ginger and the undersized Blair and get some help on the frontline. The backcourt is set.
I'm kinda glad we didnt get Maggette anyway. That guy just hasnt been the same since Golden State.....
We can't afford both. It will be one or the other.
Just surprised were not hearing Battier or Prince' names more.
Nice pipe dream. The Spurs can only afford to get one of either Butler or Howard....
Indeed. I remember the huge meltdown this place had when he turned the Spurs down. It most certainly was a blessing in disguise.
Well, if Maggette had signed with the Spurs they never would have traded for Jefferson.

I see rj going to denver
Touche'. Neither would have worked out, but getting rid of the wasted money spent on Maggette would have been much easier.
Butler won't come to SA. If the report is correct and Clips and Nets offer more money, why Butler would choose to play for the spurs ? Nets and Clips are very appealing destination and hard to resist to Clips attraction, more money and a fun team with a great future to play with.
Howard and his ganja pipe would last about 5 minutes under Coach Pop.
The Nets are appealing? How so? Because they're moving to Brooklyn? Because they sure as havent delivered on the court in awhile. And other than Blake Griffin being with the Clippers, they havent done much either....

Maybe he'd rather play for Pop than Avery or Vinny.
? why in denver would want rj ?
Bonner gets torched at every front line position. Do you want him defending guys who are bigger than he is two feet from the rim, or do you want him defending guys smaller than he is 20 feet from the rim with two shot blockers behind him? That matchup also works in his favor as a guy three inches shorter is going to have a harder time blocking his threes.
If we're playing pick your poison, and Bonner's only getting the six to nine minutes a game he should be getting, I want him at small forward.
Howard may end up being cheaper and may not be here long term, but I prefer Butler. I think Howard will infuriate Spurs fan with his at ude. Both Butler and Howard scare me though. I see another Richard Jefferson situation happening if we get either of these guys. Hopefully Butler proves me wrong, assuming he accepts the Spurs' offer.
I think RJ would be a better fit than Caron if im the Clippers, especially if they're going after CP3 and going fun and gun with Blake.
If i'm the clippers, RJ @ 3-4 million >>>> Caron @ 7 million
The nets have the money, the cap space to build a nice team in the future and moving in Brooklyn would be great.
The Clippers have already a fun team with a future star of the league and some very nice young prospects.
And they are offering more money.
Probably Butler is a big fan of Pop but it isn't enough to pass on a superior offer of the nets / clips.
Smith and Chandler are in China and Afflalo is a free agent.
Just stick to not posting.
Superior offer? It's two million more and no one knows how many years any team is asking for.
The Clippers are a franchise that will pretty much always be a team always fighting for a playoff birth and the Nets are a Williams departure from being a bottom of the eastern conference team.
Bingo. Both teams can also offer a starting gig. Clipps also have Minny's unprotected pick next year in a very strong draft.
The only thing the Spurs got going for them is Pop. And that might not even last long when Caron realizes hes gonna be the backup 4 to Matty Bon Bon.
