Free Agency: Top 25 Richard Jefferson Replacements

[scottspurs]

I would take Bowen over some on the list. No thanks to Finley though. I say start Leonard.

Free agent Grant Hill is expected to choose a team this afternoon, according to a league source. The source said Hill will decide between the team where he has played the past four years, the Phoenix Suns, and a newly emerged contender: the San Antonio Spurs.

One thing the source ruled out: “It won’t be New York.”

The Knicks had been a rumored destination for Hill, but now they are now attempting to shed salary, not add it, so they can pursue Tyson Chandler.

The Spurs are apparently willing to give the 39-year-old Hill a second year on his contract, which the Suns would not. If Hill, a small forward, were to sign with the Spurs it would presumably coincide with San Antonio using the amnesty provision to waive small forward Richard Jefferson, who has three years and $30 million remaining on his contract.

grant is so old tho wtf.....

[yavozerb]

With as many back to backs and less days off between games this season not sure of Hill would be good signing this season...

[jjktkk]

Hill is old, but remember that he missed several years, due to injuries, so he doesn't have alot of wear and tear, usually associated with players his age. Hill would be a great bridge to Leonard.

[yavozerb]

Again, Hill will not play more than 20 minutes per game..good for the min. only

I think I may actually kill myself and to sit here and see that you guys are ok with a 38 year old that got exposed by Kobe 2 years ago picking his knees up off of the ground each play.

, who hasn't got exposed by Kobe...Gonna have to find someone who is not considered the best NBA player to prove your point my man...

[mudyez]

my list:

#1 Grant
#2 Luc
#3 Prince, Battier, Jerebko which are already off the list
.
.
.
#38 Butler, which is also off anyway

[timvp]

I had Hill as one year for $3 million but I'd go up to $6 million over two years if that's what it takes to convince him to sign. As a stopgap, Hill's the best option. As long as you have the Big Three, you might as well try to win now ... and Hill fits right in with that.

He can buy out his contract with 500k from NBA team and payback of salary if ok'd by China team. Problem is he is a RFA.

Can't imagine Hornets are doing this deal without sticking somebody with Ariza's contract. Won't have to renounce West if include Ariza.

[NASpurs]

We should start putting X's on the faces of the guys in the original post. They're dropping like flies.

please do so.

After Butler's visit to SA, the Spurs called his agent and offered $10 million over two years.

WTF, why even waste everyone's time?

[MaNu4Tres]

I'm starting to think Spurs may reconsider using the amnesty on R.J this year with how the F.A market is unfolding.

[DAF86]

why do yall like dunleavy wtf is goin on here
dude is a sf matt bonner....

Not really, Dunleavy is a big SF, Bonner is a small PF.

Nah, that ship has sailed. Time to have Tony call Gelabale, sign him to a 1 or 2 year deal and concentrate their resources on adding a big.

[DAF86]

I prefer the starting SF to be a good three point shooter than a good defender.

[monkeypunk]

I think Bonner just plays small, he's like 6'10''

[MaNu4Tres]

Or they could sit on the MLE and wait for the Wilson Chandler situation to unfold by March . WE STACKED

[Cant_Be_Faded]

ehhhhh i guess its grant hill or jack at this point. Never thought it would come to this. Have to hope leonard is a grand slam durable beast.
