Richard Jefferson is at Spurs Practice Right Now

[smrattler]

No, only the Spurs can use the amnesty on RJ. That possible loophole was closed in the final CBA negotiations.

Oh well, forget my previous post.

Burger looks disgusting.

[ElNono]

Still confused on the Dice situation... Is he retired now for sure?

Not until we hear official word... he could've permission to skip first day of training camp...

[Mel_13]

For example, the other team has a large salary they want to dump, but someone the Spurs could use. They swap, maybe throw in some other peices in the mix. Spurs keep the high salary player and the other team amnesties RJ. And maybe that team wants to dump salary this summer too, maybe we can throw some expiring in there too?

Just thinking maybe, maybe they can still use RJ in a trade like that. Remember supposedly the Spurs were shopping TP last year and kept insisting RJ be part of the deal? Well, we need TP now, so we won't trade him anymore. But maybe they can work a trade of some kind and still throw RJ in a trade and a team that wasn't going to use their amnesty before, now can take RJ and then use the amnesty?

I'm reaching, I know, just trying to think of how else we can get rid of him. Truth is maybe the Spurs really do want him and this was some sort of twisted way to light his fire one more time.

Cory Joseph (Canada) is still wading through visa process. That's why he's not here.

Apparently Janet Napolitano is keeping a close eye on Canadians this week.

So they print out a new list before every day of camp?

I'm sure the list gets updated if they sign somebody else too. I don't think it's a set-in-stone list.

Voodoo priestess in the offseason didn't work. Even his head stayed the same size. That was our last, best hope.

[DesignatedT]

Gotcha. Thought he had to decide by today was why I'm wondering.

Pop says team has "a pretty good idea" of what's going to happen with McDyess, but unsure of the timing. Speculate away, tweeps.

I'm pretty sure the decision should've been today too, otherwise his contract becomes guaranteed. That said, he could still be a trade piece.

[Trill Clinton]

So was Jefferson at the practice saying his goodbyes or was he participating, let a play know sumthing.

[Russ]

In Pop we trust.

Once the obvious solutions are gone, the brain trust kicks it up a gear and finds the Bowens of this world.

It's that balance between great options and no options -- its that nederland -- that's where the Spurs hit their zen.

I'm feelin it.

He was handing out christmas gifts and Hershey's Kisses...

How is RJ feeling now?

Could this be a motivational ploy?

Can RJ be "scared straight"?

This has the early lead as the best post of the 2011-12 season

[xtremesteven33]

The bar is set really low for RJ..just dont suck

Is the deadline you speak of due to his contract or amnesty cause amnesty option doesn't have to be used till the 16th of Dec. from my understanding.

[Dr. Gonzo]

That's a pretty high bar for RJ.

[Hooks]

All of the listed weights are from either the combine or their rookie season so don't worry lol, Blair is probably at 250, Kawhi said he gained 15lbs this summer bringing him up to 240 etc.

I wish this was true, I really do

[alamo50]

Spurs will not sign Howard.
If they do, they do it because they are desperate.
He will not fit in with the group of players we got and Pop knows it.

Yeah, it's not completely out of the realm of possibility, but it's close. It would definitely have to come from a team who is looking to shed significant salary, and the Spurs would probably be left taking on a lot of that. I doubt they would be willing to do that unless it's a player that just absolutely fits our needs, and even then they'd probably be weary.

[gospursgojas]

Kinda ok with this....I was begining to think that he was the best option w what's now availavble sf wise.
