    You're looking bad right now. Just because 15 came off the books doesnt mean we have 15 to spend. And we cant go sign a player for a lot of money and say with the salary cap. If that was the case. New York would sign LeBron, Wade, Amare, Bosh, and Dirk.

    Do you believe the Spurs may re-sign him for something like $21 million 3 year?

    Spurs have 2 options, re-sign RJ with the Bird Rights or go with 2 players at SF, one with LLE and other with minimum salary
    Or do a S&T with the team that wants to sign him. I very much doubt that the Spurs would sign him to a new deal. You also have to think that RJ must expect to get more than 3/21 if he gave up 15M guaranteed.

    THIS . . . is exactly why he opted out. He was made the scapegoat for a disappointing season. Nice going, assholes. Spurs fans suck.
    Nah I gave alot more breaks than most fans did this past season, was even looking forward to him making improvements in his 2nd year...ala Brent Barry. Him opting out royally screws the Spurs though, thats what Im most upset about.

    Hey , Spurs are over the cap, how the do they replace him and with what?!!?
    Him opting out puts them under the cap. But that's bad because now they can't use the MLE.

    That's not how it works. The Spurs only have the MLE and LLE (and minimum contracts) to spend. They don't get any more money to spend with RJ opting out.
    This. Just when things were going our way....

    at people being happy about this. Seriously, get a clue.

    As for RJ - I can't blame the guy. He was unhappy here and I'm sure he knows he's leaving serious money on the table to find a system he'll work better in. Sucks for us, but so it goes.

    I don't think it puts them under the cap. I think it's close, but I didn't look at the numbers.

    Mel_13 will correct me if I'm wrong but now the Spurs can't use the MLE or LLE. Basically they can re-sign Jefferson/S&T him or only have $3-$5 million to use.

    This is bad for the Spurs. Now they have no SF - and still no money to spend.
    Kori, do you see Spurs re-sign him with his Birds Rights since there's no better option with the money they have to spend?

    Jefferson opted out for financial reasons. He can get more money, even if he makes less per year. Spurs will probably try to re-sign him, if not, hopefully they can do a sign and trade, but how will they get a quality small forward in return. They won't.

    This is bad news for the Spurs unless they can resign him.

    Under the luxury tax NOT the salary cap.

    None the less, Whether Jefferson sucked or not, he was a starting small forward. Now they have JACK for a starting small forward...

    I hope this means a sign & trade is going to happen.
    this probably confirms the Paul George rumors

    I'm not sure that the Spurs will try to re-sign him. I'm not sure he was a 'fit' here - basketball wise or otherwise. But maybe.

    Do you see a team willing to pay more than MLE for him?

    You still get the MLE if him opting out puts us under the cap, which it does. As logn as you over the salary cap at the BEGINNING of the offseason, you get the MLE.
