You do realize that it doesn't matter. Splitter was paid less than that. Worst case scenario from RJ's opting out is really that Splitter would get a contract and Bonner wouldn't.
As I said, it's a difference of opinion. It's not my problem that all of you decide to get all butthurt because someone doesn't just fall in line and agree that signing RJ was this brilliant idea.

I don't see yall saying this in Timvp's game thoughts, were he is saying the exact same things
Paste everything else I said.I don't see yall saying this in Timvp's game thoughts, were he is saying the exact same things
Of course it is premature to say RJ's second year is a failure at this point. You have to give it time. But all we have to go off of at this point is a bunch or cheerleader talk from Pop and RJ and the handful of practices, scrimmage and game.
Based on what was seen so far, combined with all of last year, acting like there is not a legit concern is just as silly as calling him a bust at the moment.
BTW, I cannot believe people keep trying to use the "RJ allowed the Spurs to sign Tiago" argument. You might be able to argue a few things about RJ's contract, but that is not one of them. Go a different route.
^ Not the point and I don't care what you say. The big RJ 3 (Ohm, you andYazo) when certain people say (obvious) things about RJ at the moment, but you don't when someone else (like Timvp) makes the same observations (although maybe in a more palatable way for the big 3).
Is he a complete bust yet? Not sure. Is what we have seen so far after all the hype positive? No.

How is this ing...
Hey but if it makes you feel better, keep trying to group me with people that bring up completely different reasoning on this issue.
Do you honestly not see the difference in the posts? Jesus, dude . . . take a couple of days off from the doobage and clear the head.
Making a one game analysis of RJ's (and all other players) performance where there is context is completely different than months of "lol RJ", "lol 40 mil", "lol gay" posts followed by bumping your own stupid thread, telling everyone what they think and that you are, in fact, not a mouth breathing mongoloid, but actually, a devilishly clever genius who has fooled us all.
I'm sorry, but . . . L O ing L.
As far as the ing goes . . . it goes both ways, sweetheart.
I about you? I follow almost every single comment on RJ from you? I make RJ observations in RJ applicable threads (games where he is playing, discussion on SF's, his interviews) and you come sprinting in
I don't call him gay or "lol" him, and I don't bash him for things that aren't there. Many people see what I see, but when myself or someone else makes an argument, you guys cry, but when Timvp does it, you say "ohhhhhhhh, ok".
So the fact Timvp post other thoughts alongside his doubts of RJ make it ok
I don't " " about you . . . ever. You have a real gift for exaggeration, dude. I was referring to what is interpreted as " ing" about the topic.I about you? I follow almost every single comment on RJ from you? I make RJ observations in RJ applicable threads (games where he is playing, discussion on SF's, his interviews) and you come sprinting in
I wasn't talking about you there, cowboy. I never "cry". I just disagree. I don't begrudge anyone their opinion, just the method. I've never been a Timvp yes man. That claim is patently ridiculous. I've always thought of our discussions as just that . . . discussions. I don't come back later and say you are ing and crying. If anything, you obviously seem to have more of a problem with me disagreeing with you than I do with you.
No, because it is relevant to a bigger picture and not (I'm not talking about you specifically) peppered with gay jokes, lols and emoticons. I didn't wholly agree with Timvp either, by the way.So the fact Timvp post other thoughts alongside his doubts of RJ make it ok
And as far as game threads go . . . that is a different animal and I treat it as such. I am very rarely serious in a game thread. If I offended you personally, or upset you by responding to something you said, just let me know and I will stop. I'm not going to call you a crybaby or a .
As far as I am concerned, you and I are cool. If that's wrong, that's OK too.
I don't get it. Could you elaborate? Ask somebody for help if you need to.
ElNono, no no no no no . . . you just don't get it, man.
And, really? The Ralph Wiggum pic is ing? If that is your criteria, you are a little too sensitive.
It's crazy that I've become somewhat of an RJ backer or one who sympathizes with the Spurs' decision to re-up him, but crazier things have definitely happened.
I was against the trade from the jump, have stated on multiple occasions he did not fit, and I've also said he couldn't be a legitimate starter on this team if they planned on winning a championship.
I haven't changed my tune or belief.
But, The Spurs were guaranteed to not win a championship this year had he gone elsewhere. Guar-an-teed. The bulk of their MLE would have gone to Splitter and then the Spurs would have been forced with the proposition of signing borderline NBA players and vet minimums to fill out their roster -- in a year they're thinking could be their last with the Big 3.
However small a chance it is that the Spurs could win a championship this year with RJ on the team, there's still a chance. They could conceivably win a le with him being a token starter, bench player or someone who's just not in the starting 5 that finishes the game. There's a chance the Spurs could find a rotation player for their defensive needs on the wing. They could maybe even go smaller and quicker on the perimeter to take away the lane and give up the jumper. There's a chance a player could be attained or a scheme could be devised.
The Spurs promised Tim they'd put together the best team possible when he signed his extension for less. They gave him and the team a chance.
So it's not about RJ being the difference maker anymore or lamenting the re-signing. It's just coming to terms with the reality and hoping for the best.
Now excuse me while I get off this thing . . .
Lighten up, Mr Wrecker...
And no, it's not the picture but what I quoted. Think about it for a minute.
This thread has ran it's course a long time ago. Either RJ is going to get better or he won't. And time will tell.
In the meantime, we can keep on wasting time until the season starts.
Please proceed...
No . . . Do I really have to use the ing blue font?
Are you ing again?
You're cracking me up.

Do you really have to use such in' foul-language?
Whatcha' drinkin'?
"When people disagree with me they are the ones ing and crying, not me! I use lol and emoticons to illustrate how I am superior and mature. I am right. How dare you disagree with me?! You are the one taking this seriously because I am loling . . . See? See how I lol?!"
I love the gang here. Even if we're on completely opposite sides of the aisle.
Don't you all ing forget that...
ing A right I do.
