it sign him up.![]()
Bell is evidently the Spurs first option, with Jones as the fallback.
anything more than vet min is overpaying imo....
one thing I've noticed, although he seems to be a little injury prone now, none of those are Knee related, that is always something I look at. I get worried when a player has knee issues when they sign with a team, especially the Spurs.
If the Spurs could somehow get two of Jones/Butler/Bell with the MLE remainder and LLE, would they let RJ go completely?
I hope not we would already add to our strong bench we would proably be the deepest team in the league
spurs are letting the price for rj keep going down
Parker
Manu
Jefferson
Duncan
Splitter
Hill
Anderson
Jones
Blair
McDyess
Temple
Gee OR Hairston
Bonner
I like.
And it's under the luxury tax.
Well, I meant after re-signing RJ (if indeed that's going to happen). Ultimately, I want to have some minutes for Hairston/Anderson/Temple...
Can spurs go over the cap to sign RJ now after signing splitter?
If so, why can not heat go over cap to sign their FAs?
That'd be great. I specially like the place where Bonner is on this list.![]()
Yes.
They renounced their rights to do so in order to use the cap space on outside free agents.If so, why can not heat go over cap to sign their FAs?
James Jones is slow as ..... I have Seen Paint Dry Faster Then He moves..... Not A good sign..... I say Raja Bell, Or Rasual Butler.....
Teams typically have rights to sign their own free agents (you'll often hear them referred to as Bird Rights or Early Bird Rights, which go into effect after 3 and 2 years, respectively, under the same team and/or same contract). However, these rights also come with "cap holds," which reduce your salary cap space. The Heat renounced these rights on their players to increase their salary cap space.
we are already over the salary cap as it is, whether we re-sign RJ or not.
we are, however, under the luxury tax 'cap'
very clear, thanks for ur answers.
James Jones 2009-10 Shooting Chart
Wow. I knew he's become a really soft player and I knew he relies on three-pointers but that shooting chart is ridiculous. He didn't make one shot in the paint all season. 1-for-19 on two-pointers excluding long corner twos?
He should improve if he can stay healthy but to expect Jones to do anything other than shoot three-pointers would be foolish. His length could help some on defense but he won't be an above average defender and it'd be a mistake to play him as a stretch four.
Jones has great size for a small forward and can shoot threes. Luckily for him, the Spurs can use that.
Sign up him and Jonathan Bender for the minimum and have the all-knee problem rotation at SF. I'd be fine with that.
Very good assessment. I will add that, IIRC, James has had a couple of questionable plays where a player was injured by his actions on the court.
The length and shooting can help but James is not a great defender. I would favor a healty Raja Bell, but James would provide 2 traits the Spurs need. Experienced shooting and length as a 3-4.
he's been injured for the past 3 seasons, i'd rather have bell, or butler
or if we gonna take a gamble on a player who has recent history of injuries, i'd rather have howard if we can get him cheap
rather roll the die with butler or bell. both bell and jones are injury prone but bell has the higher payoff.
You can forget Matt barnes as well. According to 760 pop is not a fan of mr barnes.
That's understandable. Did they say why?
According to 760 Barry Larkin plays for the Reds.
On the bright side, his 3s comes from the arc - not the corner 3 where Hill usually shoots from. I wonder where Anderson shoots his 3s from.
