if the spurs trade jefferson, they're not going to get anything good in return. this season will be a complete waste because popovich did a horrible coaching job, again.
Just got a text from ESPN about this and didn't see it anywhere. Sorry if it is

Displeased with the way he has fit into their system, the San Antonio Spurs are attempting to trade forward Richard Jefferson just days before the trade deadline, multiple league sources have confirmed.
However, because of Jefferson's lack of production this season, as well as his $14.2 million salary, it does not seem likely the Spurs are going to find any takers.
"They're trying, but there may not be a market for his contract," one Eastern Conference executive told SI.com.
Jefferson has one year and $15.2 million remaining after this season.
The calls being placed by Spurs general manager R.C. Buford are a stark admittance that he made a mistake when trading Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto to the Milwaukee Bucks for Jefferson, envisioning him as yet another talented scoring option to complement Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
Instead, the 29-year-old Jefferson is having the worst season since his rookie year, averaging 12.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists as he has struggled to fit in with the Spurs' primary trio.
Perhaps even more intriguing is whether Buford's intentions with Jefferson is a sign that he thinks the Spurs in their current form cannot win a le. The Spurs are essentially tied with the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Phoenix Suns for the fifth seed in the Western Conference but have lost eight of their past 14 games.

Not your fault but this is old news posted new by SI.
I hate when people say trading for jefferson was a mistake. As ty as he has been, what we got him for would've been much tier right now
Displeased with the way he has fit into their system, the San Antonio Spurs are attempting to trade forward Richard Jefferson ..........
Chaos is not a system............
Extra cap room this summer would not have been that ty.
well jefferson is expiring contract next year and could be tradeable but like pop said we would of probably got the same kind of impact player in 2010 if we signed someone next year
Praise God.
I would trade him for an open rotation spot that can be filled by Finley/Mason/Mahinmi or whoever the you want to choose.
May the Spurs find a sucker...er buyer before Thursday.
lol nobody's going to take that ty player. We're stuck with that POS until next year
someone created a thread about this a while ago but it was merged with the official trade thread.
This.
I hope people realize that this wasn't RJ's fault. He is a great player. It's Pop's job to fit players into the system, and he didn't do a good job doing that at all with RJ.
hmm.. well lets see if the Spurs can trade him back to the Bucks for at least Kurt Thomas :P
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.
Last year's record at this time of the season begs to differ.
Oh gawd...poor rj.
Pop has tried everything with him. He's just another great player when on a bad team. He sucks.
failed logic because this team is currently bad so he should be great, but he is not obviously.
AI2, and tyrus thomas. that is who we should try and get.
To all the people ing now about R.J.
Hindsight is 20/20
It was an awesome trade to begin with but didnt pan out like we had all hoped. Cant fault the Spurs front office for taking a gamble that looked like a blockbuster trade when it was made. Who knows, if they cant trade him, maybe we will see a miracle and it all pans out in the end and R.J. starts to "Get it".
Roger Mason and George Hill can play side by side as guards, trade TP, Ginobili, and Jefferson for a real small forward.
Well Forrest, I can't say I agree with you their.
im gonna go out on a limb and say RJ will become atleast a 15/5 guy within a week.
doubtful but hey so was ms cleo!
I already posted this ......
how bout no.....
nobody wants a gay washed up player
