Do you try to trade him, or give him another year? Im sure there will be alot of takers becuase of his low salary and outstanding performance this year!!!

He's an expiring. That by itself makes him more than palatable for many teams. I personally would like to see he and Parker packaged for some new blood on the perimeter.
There will be plenty of teams that want him. Its a matter of what the Spurs are willing to take back.
all right, we'll give you jason terry and jj barea
as much as i love tony parker, you're right. he's the most expendable player in the big three. i would miss him and be jealous of the team he would go to, but it's time to try something new i guess
I agree, but as been hashed out many times, if the Spurs deal Parker they MUST get a PG in return. So by definition that limits the moves that can be made. Throwing Jefferson into the mix might induce some teams to cough up a gem.
heh
Only if Damp comes along. We need some size in the middle.
yah, i looked to see what the raptors had on their roster. there's the obvious chris bosh, but their pg and wing players are extremely weak. i wouldn't want turkoglu (too old) but i thought about amir johnson only if he can play both forward spots
Jefferson thread!!!!!!
Here's hoping Ainge decides to help you guys out of this.
Rockets would be delighted to take him off your hands. Will cost you Hill or Blair though.
Who are you going to offer them?
I think that's about 11 threads in the last 12 hours about the future of Jefferson.
Yes, there is a way. PM me.
The Spurs will figure out something. Realistically I can see something like RJ for Rip Hamilton + cash or a pick. But I think most likely we'll see the Spurs give him another chance to produce and trade him at the deadline if things don't work out.
Before doing anything, maybe think about Jason Richardson's case in Phoenix. Last year, when he first arrived in Phoenix, he struggled and didn't really fit in. This year, ugh! Anything more fearsome than seeing him get a Nash pass while out on the 3 point line?
Maybe the FO decides to keep him until a mid-season trade to see if he needed that same year to figure things out.
RJ will stay, book it
So Jefferson didnt talk to the media today..anyone know more about THAT?
face it, Spurs are screwed. there's no way out of this mess.
I honestly don't care if he opts out or if he stays. Jefferson showed some glimpses of what we thought he would be for us.
I still think he'll be able to contribute next season along with Dyess. A lot of people were knocking on Mcdyess during the season but praised him during the playoffs.
That being said, people will have low expectations next year as far as RJ goes. So we'll see.
Kinda glad the season is over since now we can get rid of unwanted trash.
RJ ain't going anywhere...here's hoping for the sop re learning curve
My current opinion is to let him stay and to see if he comes back as an improved player. If not we shop him during the weeks approaching the trade deadline. Or just hold onto him as an expiring.
Good point. I was all for trading Richardson and now Im so glad they didnt. He just needed time to figure things out and let the team and coaching staff figure things out.
Jefferson needs to get confidence back in his three point shot. If he gets that around 40%, keeps driving baseline and tells himself hes going to just focus on those two areas on offense, he might be worth keeping.
It wasnt fair to bring him in to a situation where theres already a clear pecking order, expect him to fit in and yet be more than just a typical Spurs role player.
Probably the Houston Rocket organization! :P
That´s about right, whatever we do we´ll wait untill the deadline. Which i think it´s not the best given the time that usually take players to adapt to Pop schemes.
If he somehow finds way to contribute, great, if not, he is just an expiring contract and we take the best of what is offered. It won´t matter a lot how bad contracts we are taking if something usefull comes in the package as our window of opportunity will be 2 years. It doesn´t matter how our roster looks after that.
