    Why are you calling scoreboard when the story "you broke" was already reported before your sources told you






    Ok whatever floats your boat sunshine.
    Keep seeking approval and bumping threads angel.

    Jefferson will improve next year. Both him and pop will approach the situation differently. He is definitely better than any other options out there.
    Working with Pop won't make him quicker or make his 3 point shot better. There is no way he improves; because he can't.

    If there is no one better out there (which I don't agree), then you bite the bullet and don't mortgage your future.

    I don't care how good of a value he is, or how much talent he has. You absolutely do not sign him long term imo.

    That's a good news and totally different from Bonner's resign. We really have to keep RJ, we can't handle him to leave us to Clippers or Cavs without nothing on return. He is our only SF in our roster and we have no money to replace him.

    If he resings, our roster will be:
    Parker/Hill
    Manu/Hairston
    Jefferson/Anderson
    Duncan/Blair/Bonner
    Splitter/McDyess

    Not bad at all. Let's sign with Shaq for LLE, he would be a good weapon against Bynum.

    im sure the only thing Pop worked with RJ on is his kickouts to Bonner.

    He can improve both his quickness and his 3 pt shot. He looked pretty heavy to me the first time i saw him and I expect him to be a bit leaner. He really just needs to focus on the corner 3 since most his attempts will be from there. Plus, Him knowing the system will benefit him and since he wont be the new guy it will keep him from "stepping on other peoples toes".

    I don't think hes the greatest fit or anything but he will be better next season just like every spur is in year 2 and is definitely better than any realistic options we have. I don't give a what happens 4 years from now. I want to win now.... with Duncan.

    Given what's available and CBA limitations, not the worst thing. There indeed are worse things, such as using the remaining part of Duncan's career to rebuild for life after him.

    Jefferson should be more comfortable next season. With Splitter joining, Jefferson can focus exclusively on playing the 3.

    I'm not a big fan of Jefferson, but the Spurs would be worse off without him for the next couple of seasons.

    No. Does it really bother you when people make fun of your sources? Because you tell them to "just move on" constantly and call them "stalkers". I guess they really bother you because you reply to everything anyone says about your sources.

    The biggest drawback to this is we will probably have to deal with Jefferson for another few years, but it is what it is.
    It could be a lot worse. We could have nothing but scrubs manning that position for the next year. RJ wasn't great but he wasn't absolutely terrible. He had his moments.

    So nobody here thinks a Wright, Bell, fill in the blank lower level guy... would be a better fit and benefit the team more than RJ?

    Do the Spurs have such a legit shot at winning a le that it is worth RJ long-term?

    how does all this affect resigning tp
    Spurs should still be able to extend or resign Tony for the near-max (if needed) because of his Bird Rights. This is just making it harder for the Spurs to do so without bulging the salary cap, let alone luxury tax, for years to come.

    Wow, something that capitalizes for you! Hit the space bar twice at the end of sentences and it'll punctuate for you as well. Soon you'll look like you're not a complete moron!

    He is not a good 3 point shooter and even if he loses weight, he is still not quick enough to be a lock down perimeter defender. Spurs absolutely need someone to either be really good at one or the other, preferably both.

    RJ cannot do either.

    drop the whole sources fiasco, seriously. The "source' is a in joke. Mcdonald's "imminent" tweet was at the exact same time you posted your great news. You have a source good for you.... or you don't. doesn't matter

    It's that time of year again, to come down to Earth and realize the Spurs won't do what we think is the most logical thing to do. Expect a 4 year/$40 million contract.

    The spur need to fill that empty SF spot, so w/e. Jefferson showed glimpses during the season and a few games of what we thought he would have brought to the table.
    The dude can dunk, but that about it.

    A man can always dream...

    S&T RJ + Hill to Charlotte for Jack. Bobcats need a point & cap relief. Spurs need a shooter with balls.

    Those guys will sign more than LLE, which we can offer most. We can't find a decent player instead of Jeff with LLE.

    We don't have a legit shot at winning le with RJ. But winning le doesn't mean everything. We have a legit shot to reach WCF, which is not bad. And if we can sign with Shaq and Splitter becomes a perfect fit as we hope, we have a chance against Lakers too.

    By no means is he a lockdown defender but I thought his defense continued to improve steadily as the season progressed. Having Splitter join Tim in the paint will only help the cause as well. Like I said... he definitely isn't the best player for us, but he is a lot better than anything we can realistically bring in. Hairston will get plenty of chances to show what he can do and if we bring in another wing at the LLE they might be able to provide some of that D or 3 ball your talking about, but letting him walk for nothing was definitely not the best choice for us.
