Contract.
He doesn't look that fat to me. But maybe it's just the black shirt...
from Spurs FB:
Contract.
RJ - Does this Spurs uniform make me look fat?
This amnesty dangling BS could be some weird ass test by Pop to see how he responds and if he...wait for it, wait for it...GETS OVER HIMSELF.
Or more likely, the Spurs realize they don't need to amnesty him just yet and the smart move is to wait and see a few days and let the chaos settle a little bit. I'm not exactly a fan of this move though if that was the case I could understand it. I'd like to see RJ off the team.
I don't understand those who say the smart move is to hold on to him...sure if winning is not the priority and you only look at budgets. RJ will drag this team down ever further and prevent any progress in either direction - either rebuilding/tanking or just trying to win. I don't see how anyone can say RJ will help the team grow, play better defense, and get ready for a deep run in the playoffs. It's basically not possible.
it will be an absolute abomination if they don't end up using the amnesty on RJ.
They finally have the chance to do what's truly best for the franchise, both on the court and financially.
I know that they love to make bad decisions, but I will actually pray tonight that they come to their senses.
what tha mother ??? Even worse news is how every ing knowledgeable poster knows the worst thing a new spur can do is miss training camp. If there were any doubt Joseph was going to stay in Austin all year, him missing even a few days of camp means we won't even see his face this season.
Blair is at 250? Which leg?
Yep, and we get f in nothing as usual in FA, same damn team going into this year that got curbstomped in round one by the 8th seed! WHIPTY IN DOO! This team is done.
I miss the old Spurs.
If you listen at RJ's interview, it clearly sounds like he isn't sure at all of still being with Spurs at the end of the camp. I still think Spurs have some trade options with RJ and they are in wait and see mode. If these trade options failed, they could re-think about amnestying him.
What trades do you have in mind? It's difficult to come up with any reasonable deals other than a horrible contract for a horrible contract.
If GS can get DeAndre Jordan, a deal around RJ for Biedrins.
Did yall see Manu hug'em!?
Yeah, horrible contract for horrible contract. I'd do it obviously if it came down to RJ or Biedrins even though Biedrins is scared to touch the ball nowadays.
I can't imagine a team trading for him now when they have very good reason to think he'll just be amnestied by the 16th anyway. If they want him, they can wait. And if they have to wait until next season, they can still wait.
It would take a terrible decision maker to go for it. The only hope for that is that there are some of those left.
Anything for RJ would be good. No, FAN-tastic.
Biedrins wouldn't play in crunchtime because of his free throws, but RJ was routinely benched in crunchtime during his tenure here.
How many players that are the 4 option shoot FGs at 47% and 3 Pts at 44% and average 11 ppg? Not many. He may wind up being the best option to keep for another year since it doesn't look like we'll be pulling any great SF free agent rabbits out of the FO's hat.
Maybe RJ would agree to a buyout, like Rip Hamilton just did. The bonus for RJ is that he'd get to pick his destination. If he's amnestied, he'd be forced to go to whichever team claimed him.
For the Spurs, it'd be difficult to figure out how much to offer in a buyout because with a buyout his contract wouldn't come off the salary cap books. Plus the Spurs would have to factor in that if he's amnestied he'll likely be claimed.
I still think he gets amnestied but there are a couple of other options open. And really, there's no reason to rush right now. Even if RJ gets injured in training camp, that doesn't change anything. They can still amnesty an injured RJ. In fact, if he got injured seriously enough, the Spurs could get his salary covered by insurance and get a disabled player exception.
TJ passes LESS than Parker and shoots worse. Take off those pink glasses.
Do you realize how sad a group of fans we are, that we actually have to think of things like this, and consider that they might be true? If it weren't for their track record of winning, how inexplicable a lot of their moves would be?

Every offseason, the toilets explode."
wtf do you clowns wanan trade for odom and his other half
havnt u learn ur lesson with parker on the team and his desp housewife...
fck the camera guy busy focusin on their wives then focusing on the game, fck that this aint a team of WAGS

this sounds more like a threat than anything
Does anyone think packaging Blair with RJ is enough to entice a team to give up a player like Kaman/Biedrins/Varejao....?

Perfect description of ST.
As sucky as this is for us, it can't be 1/10th as sucky as being one of The Faithful right now, having CP3 snatched out of your almost closed hands by Stern.
