Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
[QUOTE=Pokerface]Does not make sense for him, financially.[/QUOTE]
most of these players have proven over and over again they are closer to down's syndrome than they are average intelligence. The fool is looking around the league thinking he is due a max deal. What a raging idiot.
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
He actually might be a good fit in Boston
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
[QUOTE=ElPigto]Probably not considering he has been having some crappy seasons. Last year he was ok, but he will probably get no more than the MLE for 3 or 4 years. I really don't see a team with cap room throwing money at him since he isn't that great of a player. He must be really unhappy in SA since he left a lot of money on the table.[/QUOTE]
Maybe he got caught up in the rumors about the Nuggets being willing to trade Melo and he thinks he could be his replacement.

Now you are going to get in trouble with Sarah Palin.

This. He probably was just so unhappy he could care less about money anymore. I can't see why else he'd do this. He knows he's only getting 1/2 what he was making at best.
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
[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]
$51 mil after he opted out. That is NOT over the cap.
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
It'll take him 3 years to make that back...I'm sure the Spurs love it though.
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
the spurs should be ecstatic they got rid of dick jefferson
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
this sucks. now the Spurs have a big hole at SF, and they could have used his expiring contract to get some players. Jefferson was disappointing, but he was better than having nothing.
Re: Richard Jefferson opts out
[QUOTE=icemanfan]$51 mil after he opted out. That is NOT over the cap.[/QUOTE]
Let's follow the logic:
$56.1 - $51 = $5.1 million of cap space. Because the Spurs are now under the cap, you get NO MID LEVEL EXCEPTION.
The MLE for 2010 is about $5.8 million?
So actually, now the Spurs have LESS money to spend if Jefferson stayed. See how that works?

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?

We are not over the cap and now the Spurs know what they have in place. I am thrilled. No one would have traded for him until AFTER the free agency market was decimated and the team knew they needed an expiring contract for next season.

before we had no space and the MLE. We had $15m more on the books before this.
