MYSA: Jefferson to test free-agent market

[lurker23]

fwiw, Bruno has detailed how because of bird rights, if S/T happens then X amount the first year would be lower than with a straight signing saving the team some space the first season.

Interesting. I'll have to try and find that one. I assume RJ wouldn't mind horribly, since he'd probably make up the difference with 10.5% raises instead of 8%.

If RJ walks and leaves SA out in the cold with not cap room, he is what we thought he might be - a s bag. It screws your teammates and organization.

Nothing wrong with him looking out for his own interests. I mean, it sucks for the Spurs to not have a $15 million expiring, but with these horrible contracts being agreed to right now, I could see him pocketing an extra $21M or so on a 4 year deal, hopefully not in San Antonio.

It's entirely possible that RJ figured he'd be better off leaving a sinking ship for a longer contract prior to the impending labor problems. His time in San Antonio has not turned out the way most people thought it would.
