That source is incorrect. The notification comes from both the player and the team. Just like with DeShaun Thomas, but with LJC, there is guaranteed money in the tenders, not a non-guaranteed minimum contract.
I maybe wrong, but it doesn't sound like the Spurs are locked into a contract with him, just a current salary cap hold until it's decided what Spurs will do with him. Read this old article excerpt below (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/guide-t...001850350.html)
"INSIDER INFO
Although not on the roster, the cap holds for previous first-round picks Nikola Milutinov and Livio Jean-Charles will hit the Spurs salary cap in July.
San Antonio can release the holds by notifying the NBA of its desire not to sign them, but doing so would make either player ineligible to sign in 2016-17. Both players’ cap holds were released last July when San Antonio needed cap space to sign LaMarcus Aldridge."
And I don't think it would be necessarily looked at as negative from the Spurs screwing him over because he was drafted in 2013 and just hasn't panned out as expected. After 3 years, and not signed by original club, he can always go out and get more than the rookie scale from another NBA team as well.

LJC had some pretty impressive athleticism in the summer league that's NBA level. He made some nice passes also. He needs to improve his jumper though but it's not terrible and doesn't have a bad form. From what I remember there was some talk that he wasn't being developed properly in France because he wasn't being played much. He's only 22 year old, has some years to develop he's one of the players outside of Bertans I want to bring over. Milutinov should be brought over especially if we don't bring back Boban or we aren't able to sign another mobile big man which we need. I'm not sure if Spurs would want to have almost 1/3 of their roster being rookies though.
No way they give up that much for what the Spurs send.
Zero incentive for Phoenix.
I guess the way I see LJC is, would I rather have him than someone like Thomas Robinson for that affordable energy big off the bench. I say why not?

Is it going to be Utah's pick that's headed the other way
utah has got to ditch some guards
Good trade for Indiana. I wouldn't have minded if the Spurs had gotten Teague. I think that will help them to appease PGeorge and give him a better running mate at point.
Damn, Pacers sending Hill to Siberia.
Solid trade. Wonder what ATL gets back
Probably cap fodder... lol
Well it looks like George Hill is coming back to San Antonio next year if he already hasn't made up his mind. I'm pretty sure he has anyway that he wants to come back from what I've heard
I'll accept.Well it looks like George Hill is coming back to San Antonio next year if he already hasn't made up his mind. I'm pretty sure he has anyway that he wants to come back from what I've heard
Might as well just work a deal for him now. Send Bobo to Utah and reacquire Hill.Well it looks like George Hill is coming back to San Antonio next year if he already hasn't made up his mind. I'm pretty sure he has anyway that he wants to come back from what I've heard
I wouldn't be mad, even if I wasn't a big George Hill fan again after that 2011 post season performance...
moving parker's contract should be priority #1.
Bertans definitely, maybe Milutinov depending how he looks (that why the maybe more), maybe Cady bc they stashed him in the dleague last season per agreement and they will at least give him a chance to make the team through training camp. Maybe LJC bc as a first round pick he has to agree to continue to be stashed. I definitely see more than just Bertans in.R.C. Buford says Spurs expect to bring in at least one overseas player this summer and "maybe more." Blog:

Thanks for sharing by the way.
because he is a scrub?
Livio Jean-Charles
Livio 2016 season stats:
23MPG, 6.8PPG, 5.1RPG, 1.1APG, 0.3SPG, 0.5BPG
No thanks.
How about getting 12 pick from ATL? They need capspace to try an sign Horford and Bazemore.
I'd take George Hill back now in a heartbeat coming off the bench and being our new 6th man.. He has great leadership qualities.
Utah won't give up on Hill with Exum still coming back from injury. He is the defacto starter at this point unless another one of their 20 pgs beats him out.
Perhaps but maybe we can interest them in the swiss army knife that is Kyle Anderson. lol..
