Aldridge says same, at least for total money.

Sources: Spurs and Richard Jefferson both get something out of RJ's new four-year, $38.8 million deal. Story up soon on NBA.com.

Yep, 11-12 mil on a player that that will be 34 that year that relies exclusively on his athleticism
It's just what was reported by Don Harris on WOAI News 4.
Take it for what it's worth to you.....
Gotta stop calling him Bonzi Jefferson.
Thanks...any word on whether the last year is fully guaranteed?
Is the 4th year on option?
Lines up with other contracts decently, I guess. Of course, the big question mark is how existing contracts are going to be handled under the new CBA. Could be a really bad deal if salary cap is significantly lower and existing contracts don't get some sort of break, but I really don't see that happening.
Ginobili has won at every level he has played in. Sure Lebron is more athletic, bigger, stronger but when the game is on the line and its crunch time...which player would you rather on your team?
2008-2009 Parker was good enough to get some mention of MVP consideration.
and the year before that, we'll be paying 14 mill for a player who will be 35 & little more than a spot up shooter

I think if the owners manage to get a hard cap in place it will have to be phased in over the next 6 years or so to accomodate the contracts that were signed before the expiration of the current CBA. What I'm thinking is that they work towards each other so that eventually, the cap is just a higher number. For example, this year the cap and tax lines are about 12 million apart, under my plan, next year they'ed be 10 mill apart at 59 and 69 mil, and then 8 at 60 and 68 and so on... until the cap is 64 mil (adjusted for inflation and revenue of course)
That way teams aren't to harsh penalized for their dealings under the old deal, and the players get something out of it as well.
Maybe the next CBA will be set to expire right before that last year and he'll opt out again@DonHarris4WOAI R.J's new deal with Spurs: 4 years, 38.8 mil. Starts at 8.4 mil. 4th year at his option.
In the end, RJ got the equivalent of a 3 year, $23.6 million extension. Not a bad deal for him at all, considering the uncertainty of labor talks in the NBA. Only thing he really loses out on is the interest/investment income on $7 million over 1-2 years.
Not only do the Spurs gain the aforementioned interest/investment income, they also save probably close to $10 million from the luxury tax system (don't have time/energy to do more exact calculations, but it'll probably be at least that from loss of dollar-for-dollar tax, as well as payouts from other teams).
Only regret Spurs might have are the financial and basketball implications in years 2-4, particularly years 3 and 4. This would be lessened drastically if year 4 isn't fully guaranteed in some way.
please somebody tells me the fourth year is an option
Aldridge's story says 4th year is a player option.......ugh

hum ok rj's option
Not that I'm aware of, but then again, I don't have any sources.....
Player option... LOL
Nice hustling job RJ!
WGAF about years 3 and 4? If he'll suck as much as some of you think, the higher the lotto pick.
Since the Spurs' FO is so notoriously tight-lipped, do reporters must get this info from the players and/or agents, right? Maybe from the league office?
Player option
player option is better than no option.
