No offense but biedrins is softer than tiago, in the paint...spurs need toughness, not softness.
Amnesty?

Some Warriors fans were happy about this trade
What makes it even better was that 2012 draft was horrible, I don't think there was a single quality NBA player drafted after 20.
Teams can't amnesty players they acquired in a trade.
Can someone explain to me why Manu and Tim were being so agressive to him? That didnt look too friendly...
taking on RJ's abortion of contract so they can draft Festus Ezeli
Can't believe spurs resigned him to that ,Jesus 11 mil gl swallowing that deal gst
He's an expiring contract, right? That can be valuable for teams looking to clear future cap room.
It allowed us to restructure, get under the salary cap and sign Splitter.
Also, while Jefferson was overpaid and a major disappointment we got him for retiring players/spare parts. So it was a good gamble for the Spurs, just one that didn't work out.
Yup.RJ is living the dream right now. That trade is looking so ing brilliant right now.
Given the limited window of our stars still being capable of championships, dumping the RJ contract was CRITICAL. We already won the S Jax trade just for that.
Tbh, I was pretty stoked when we resigned him too but not because of his play but because of how thin the Spurs' small forward lineup was. IIRC, that was the same offseason where Hairston left.
Lol at some people thinking keeping RJ was better than trading for Jack in the long run
Getting all worked up over missing out on Ezeli when the Spurs probably would have drafted a guard with their pick.
Hey its not the spurs fault they could not see what kind of player RJ was, it was not a blind trade. It was a dumb trade salary wise from the start,they were afraid to bring Jackson into their locker room and the spurs helped them.Honestly, it's a shame. The more trades we pull off like George Hill that end up with happy trade partners, the more likely we are to have more trades available. When you rob your trade partners blind, other front offices tend to be afraid of trading with you.
Me too, I thought SA was ed without a starting SF so I wanted them to resign RJ, he was better than nothing, or so I thought... If I remember correctly the only other SF options at that time were Rasual Butler and James Jones from the Heat, both free agents, they were of course done in the NBA.
Sucks for the Warriors. Smart move on his part.
The real question is, wth was our FO thinking giving him that egregious contract?
Cory Joseph was trying to use the traction pad and was blocking him purposely... take another look at it, even sticks the traction pad's plastic tear-off on Manu's arm.
Their ready for a damn le is my guess. "Just don't suck."
RJ is looking like an evil genius for restructuring his contract with the Spurs a couple seasons ago now.
Not the least bit surprised he took the option. He won't get even half that anywhere else. I doubt RJ cares what people there think about it either. . .it's 11 million dollars.
RJ is definitely climbing the "all time most overpaid players" list though.
i didn't notice this one during the game. there's another instance duncan pushing rj, that one happened at midcourt.
From a Warriors stand point, i still don't get it... I mean, when you take on such a big contract, you look at the player who is behind it. And back then, it was obvious for EVERYONE that RJ would remain this useless veteran whose contract annaly s any kind of salary cap.
That's the better question.
