@WojYahooNBA: The Spurs have decided to use the amnesty clause on contract of Richard Jefferson, league sources tell Y! Sports. He has 3 years, $30M left.

He just rocketed up the board ahead of Battier and Hill for me, but I bet someone will offer him a multi-year deal at the full MLE or something.

AH, ya got me by what..28 seconds!

Good for me, I got him on my Fantasy team, I think a change of scenary will do him alot of good.

Interesting..are they going to target Caron Butler now?

Haha yeah I got that one in fast. He's probably not in our price range but he would be a nice pick up.

I mean the Clippers and Nets are offering Caron Butler about 7 mil per year so I'm guessing Jefferson will get decent money.

They already were but they're still only able to offer the MLE I think.

TP to the OP for beating me to it.

I havn't been a Richard Jefferson fan for a few years now.  He's pretty much the equivalent of Jeff Green at this point.

The best tweet I saw about this:

"I'm surprised Greg Popovich used the amnesty clause on Richard Jefferson, instead of simply murdering him."

Is that a bad thing? He obviously wasn't worth his contract but under a reduced contract he's much better. He's pretty good for the 5 mil midlevel (which we don't have).

I value RJ at about $3 million per. I wouldn't give him a full MLE deal.

I would say 3 would be a very good value for him. He'll end up with 5 I'm guessing cause that's about what his actual market value is. Anything more though is a bad deal.

Yeah, I agree, I think R.Jefferson will get the full MLE ... but because of reputation. Not performance.

I'm all for him at the mini-MLE, if we can't get a big man worth it.
