Yeah, the Spurs just want players who will fit into the system. T-Mac would be a great addition for us, if he was just willing to accept the fact that he is a bench/role player now. I would love him backing up Jefferson.

I'd probably take T-Mac (if he's healthy) over Jefferson at this point. I've always liked Jefferson as a player, but it doesn't really seem like he did shit for you guys last year. At least T-Mac can be somewhat of a facilitator on offense.

Jeffersons skill set just didnt mesh well with the Spurs system last year. We needed a slasher, but we also needed him to be able to hit the outside 3. he didnt do that so well last year. He's obviously a solid player. He just needs to work his way into the system. Guaranteed he will be better this year after a summer of working with Pop. I kept sayin I would almost rather see him run with the second unit. Not because of his skill level. But the same way we've used Manu in the past. With Jeffersons athletisism he would more than likely excel playing with a second unit of Hill, Blair, maybe Splitter (if he isnt starting), Neal....a younger more athletic group that would probably do a lot of running.

Jefferson will play better this year. Most players take a year to really make an impact in the Spurs sytem. He will find his role better this year.
As for the contract. Understand the way the salary cap works. Jefferson was due to make 15 million this year. Crazy. He opted out of it, and it helped the Spurs. They were able to sign him for a longer contract (which he wanted) but for less money per year (which we wanted). We would have been on the hook for 15 million if he hadnt opted out. There wasnt gonna be a better small forward we could have signed out there anyways. Once Jefferson opted out, it left us only about 2-3 million under the cap. Who were we gonna get for 2-3 million that would have been any good? Jefferson we could resign for more, and he wouldnt count against our cap (Bird Rights). Players are almost always able to sign with their current team for more then they can get on the open market with the Bird Rights.
Look at you guys....you are paying Sasha and Walton around 11 mill combined lol. Id take Jefferson over both of those clowns together.

HOLY SHIT!!! LMFAO... you almost had me crying...
I stand corrected... JaMarcus is worst 11 million, no wait, 13 million per year, $40 million over all, spent EVER.
Man, once I root for a team, they just waste money, except my Angels, they are like the Spurs or Broncos of baseball, they have a system and they make sure their players fit that system. The Lakers just spend on the biggest name possible, and the Raiders... well Al spends on speed and big arms... lots and lots of speed and big arms.
