No source confirming Walton involved. Its the for the LO TE i guess...
Lakers just traded Walton for Sessions. You're telling me the Spurs didn't have comparable assets?
As a Spurs fan yes I'd want Jackson over RJ.
But as a GS fan too I don't want that trash on my team either.![]()

• LAKERS GET: PG Ramon Sessions
• CAVALIERS GET: Lakers' 2012 first-round pick
I'm not good with all the financial stuff, but if this RJ trade happened, would it give us more flexibility to sign a free agent 4 or 5?
RJ for Jax make sense, since there is no chance to land Batum or Hibbert
Yazo: all I'm saying is this is much more of a buyers market than I anticipated.
Actually the downside is this trade would destroy our hope of cap space.
With RJ: Spurs amnesty him in the summer, opening up 10 mill or so
With the trade for SJax: Spurs cannot amnesty Jackson, are only able to open up the amount of the difference between what Duncan is making this season (21 mill) compared to what he signs for AFTER we get under the cap, which wont be much.
Right now we are over the cap a good deal. A Duncan resigning for much less AND a RJ amnesty gets us a huge chunk of cap space, just a Duncan resigning for much less only gets us back under with a little bit of room.
Jackson wouldnt be able to be amnestied bc we didnt sign him to that contract.
Agree...Teams trying to get situauted with new cba rules in effect.
Holy crap, Spurstalk members have been talking about SJAX for the past 2-3 years; if this goes down this would be pretty awesome! And getting rid of !
If someone can confirm what I posted concerning being unable to amnesty SJ I would appreciate it but I'm pretty sure thats how it works
The spurs do not want to waste 20+ mil. unless that absolutley have too..You talk about amnesting RJ as if though the spurs are off the hook for all the $ he is owed, they are not...
They wouldn't be able to amnesty SJax if they trade for him.
hmmm, not sure I'm convinced about SJAX. Though I've lost all patience for RJ, I'm not sure if Jax has anything left beyond his at ude, and that at ude can be cancerous if there is no game to back it up.
If on top of that it makes it more difficult to bring in a quality big because of cap space...
@daldridgetnt
Source: Spurs, Warriors "close, but not done" on deal to send Stephen Jackson back to Spurs for Richard Jefferson. Pop has always loved SJax
I'm not huge on SJax. This team needs backup PG and C help, not more offense on the wing. And given then the cap situation it would put us in, I would rather stay put than add SJax for RJ.
hm, do we want him? dont we want him? its so hard!
yeah, it would be so sweet but its not like we are getting 07'Jax nor will we be able to have caproom this summer.
BUT: its still Captain Jack and who comes here for that capspace anyway?
Well...can the spurs add Bonner with RJ...you know...as a sign of good faith?
It has already been discussed that the spurs are not gonna have enough cap space to sign a quality big man after TD re-signing in the offseason..
Yep, the only way SAS makes that trade is if they get something more than SJAX. Both SJAX and RJ have sucked in the last couple of years. SJax can't be amnestied, but RJ can. For this to make sense, SAS needs to get something more than just SJAX.
