Ticket 760: Richard Jefferson to re-sign next week.

[ElNono]

Actually we did hear neither NJ or NY were interested in him when he was actually interested in going back there, IIRC.

No official reports came out that said that from what I remember. Or at least for everyone that came out, there was another one calling it false.

Even if there was an interest, it never seemed to get close to materializing.

[ohmwrecker]

He made it pretty well known from most reports he did not want to play in SA.

I don't recall hearing anything like that. In fact, everything I've heard leads me to believe he has communicated with the Spurs the whole time and if all this pans out, has done them a tremendous "solid".

[DPG21920]

I don't see him doing the Spurs a solid unless he gets something in return, so it would be mutual. That makes logical sense, but we won't know until the numbers come out.

He might be better than the other options for 1 season, but if he's signed to 4 or 5 years, maybe even 3(one of these options is obviously likely), I will be sick..

His shooting obviously has to improve, that will help his game out a lot, but I don't see how else he will improve here, IMO..

One of the many quotables in this thread..

Everybody, delete your optimistic RJ quotes, before they're bumped..

[DMX7]

This signing really blew my mind. I couldn't believe they committed to him for that long after his terrible first season.
