Richard Jefferson opts out

[QUOTE=bdreason]Something has to be up. No way this guy just opts out of 15 million.[/QUOTE]
I would laugh if the Spurs and him had a verbal agreement then the Spurs reverse-Boozer'd him and told him to GTFO.

This is great news for San Antonio.

Richard Jefferson sucks...lmao dude needs a reality check.

orlando for the min

[QUOTE=bagelred]I'm not sure I understand. The Spurs have no cap space to get anyone else. So isn't having Richard Jefferson better than NOT having him, even if he's a disappointment? :confusedshrug: At very least, its an expirer.....[/QUOTE]This.

Only stupid people think this is good for the Spurs.

I would hazard a guess the Spurs will extend RJ at a more reasonable contract money-wise and longer, giving him more money, and allowing the Spurs to sign a free agent via MLE to upgrade the bench.

Say 3 years, $30 million.

[QUOTE=niko]Doesn't this hurt you in your pursuit of Tiago is now you are barely under the cap whereas you had more space in the MLE? Am i wrong in this?[/QUOTE]
of you are less than the mle under the cap, you can use the mle and the bae (if you have it)

[QUOTE=icemanfan]or they can sign someone and then still use the MLE to sign another player. Being under the cap does not kill your MLE.[/QUOTE]
you are completely wrong on this. Its either or, not both.

good another bum who knows he's worth. :applause:

[QUOTE=rezznor]is this possibly some kind of back deal with the spurs to lure one of the big FA?[/QUOTE]

Exactly what I'm thinking....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

He can

Dude heard Joe Johnson is getting max money and got overexcited :lol

Almost as bad as Nomar Garciaparra turning down the Boston Red Sox contract. What an idiot. All those poles to his derriere must be affecting his cognitive skills.

Shit is out of control.

:roll: :applause:


[QUOTE=Rowe]I disagree.

That $15 Million was based on his contract he signed when he was a borderline All Star talent with New Jersey competing for a NBA Title. He mentioned several times that playing in San Antonio's system was killing his value as a FA in 2011. He realizes hes a MLE player, but with that big contract people were looking at him as a bad contract rather than a good SF in the right system.

So he gives up 15 Million? He did this to help San Antonio. San Antonio can S&T Jefferson(similar to Toronto with Marion) for Jefferson to get maybe a 5/$40 Million Dollar Deal while San Antonio can bring back some talent as well since they wont have a MLE this season. They weren't going to find any suitors for Jefferson's expirer post-2010 FA Frenzy.[/QUOTE]



how will they do this and pay splitter?
