  Anyone remember his Nike Commericals with Vince Carter? Those were the days… Seems like forever ago.

• unrel Posted: Jul.20 at 5:32 pm

  Dammit! Ok, im forced to trust rc and pop, I expect better things from rj going forward.

• chingy Posted: Jul.20 at 6:57 pm
  That’s right niQ, those were the days. Seems like ages ago; which just shows, athleticism can only take you so far, and it is awfully fleeting.

• BossTerry Posted: Jul.20 at 7:16 pm
  Good new for the Spurs.. Now they need to take a good, hard look at their bench if they expect to get back into contention..

• irrelevantly relevant Posted: Jul.20 at 7:16 pm
  where exactly was he goin?

• LDR4 Posted: Jul.20 at 7:50 pm
  The River Walk is full of bacteria and disease.

• The Seed Posted: Jul.20 at 8:00 pm
  Spurs are dead!!!

• olddirtyphil Posted: Jul.20 at 8:07 pm
  who ops out of 15.2 million dollars

• The Nupe Posted: Jul.20 at 8:28 pm
  curious what kind of deal he gets, will the long-term aspect be worth the short-term pay cut?

• chiqo Posted: Jul.20 at 9:51 pm
  barnes would have been cheaper and sucked less.

• LA Huey Posted: Jul.20 at 10:11 pm
  So he opted out just so the Spurs would have the cap space to ink Splitter, right? I hope Tiago’s a beast. It’s weird seeing the Spurs without fangs.

• melvin ely Posted: Jul.20 at 10:49 pm
  after a lackluster performance last year, it’s good to hear that RJ felt bad enough to agree to opt out of the contract and sign up for less money. It’s redemption time, richard

• Ronald Posted: Jul.20 at 11:40 pm
  @LA Huey: I don’t think that was it. They used the MLE (or most of it) to sign Tiaggo anyway.

• T-Money Posted: Jul.20 at 11:43 pm
  i dont think he felt bad for anything, he made a business move. he traded upfront money for years.

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Jul.21 at 12:22 am
  I can’t wait to watch Splitter play in the league he SHOULD have been playing in years ago.

• MikeC. Posted: Jul.21 at 2:08 am
  Awhile ago I read that RJ’s decision was based on the chance to get one more long-term contract before a potential lockout. It was based on him knowing he wasn’t going to get another huge deal, so he wanted to get something mid-range in case the new CBA pushed salaries lower. Smart business move, considering he’s getting a little older (damn that makes me feel really old), and if he gets a multiyear deal, even smarter.

• Stillballin Posted: Jul.21 at 2:24 am
  Why did he go back to spurs?? He scary of the head coach.

• whoooo! Posted: Jul.21 at 3:27 am
  Impressive move by the Spurs’ front office. Because Jefferson opted out & they were over the cap, they could only offer the LLE or like $2mil remaining from the MLE. RJ looked like crap overall, but he played well at times, and there was no chance they’d get anyone better for $2mil. signing Splitter for less than the MLE (while Houston gives Scola a $57mil contract) was their best move this offseason though.

• Tarzan Cooper Posted: Jul.21 at 3:33 am
  i cant wait to see tiago play

• Anthony Posted: Jul.21 at 3:54 am
  As a Spurs fan, im confident for the upcoming season. If healthy, our rotation at the 1-2 position is scary, TP Manu and Hill will be something to watch. Their are the main reason why the Spurs will be in the top3 I hope Splitter can play and adapt to the team really quickly, which is somehow, not easy. Im thinking about Finley and Horry who needed 1year to play well with the team. And I think it will be Jefferson’s case, he never really find his place last year, now I hope he understands his role and Pop should have now a better feel at how using him properly and when. My main concern is at the 4/5 position, Duncan will give us 18/9 as usual (maybe less because Pop wont use him more than 35min) but how Dejuan Blair can improve from last year, is Dyess can still give us good minute, how Splitter will adapt, I really dont know. IF it all works well, we can play anybody. But we really need to stay healthy and use the 82 games to build enough confidence for the Playoffs.

• hobbes Posted: Jul.21 at 4:47 am
  RJ’s best game was against Spurs in the 2003 Finals, he is now a overpaid dude who don’t play defense and no offense when it counts. Pop’s brain is shrinking to resign him…

• RickyRude Posted: Jul.21 at 6:38 am
  Never count out the Spurs. Never.

• JTaylor21 Posted: Jul.21 at 8:56 am
  I always knew that this guy was the player everyone made him out to be last year when he joined the spurs. for someone who alledgely has a 40+ vertical, he does a lot of weak dunks and layups. Seems like J.Kidd did a lof for kmart and rj careers. People underrate Jkidd alot and overrated steve nash even more. Dude is creeping up on Magic and he’ll probably never catch the Big O in trip dubs. It’s a shame that he has no MVPs but took the nets to 2 straight finals while steve nash has 2 MVPs but hasn’t even sniffed a Conf. Championship. What’s the world coming to.

• JTaylor21 Posted: Jul.21 at 8:57 am
  ^ wasn’t the player

• jojo Posted: Jul.21 at 9:51 am
  Scottie reynolds or Tmac will be a good addition
