標題[新聞]I'm still here -Richard Jefferson
時間Sat Dec 17 02:08:45 2011
Richard Jefferson, a " strong candidate" for the amnesty rule(特赦),
will likely dodge(避開) the cut deadline.
That was nine days ago. And with the deadline to use the amnesty clause (for
this offseason) coming at midnight Friday, Jefferson is still a Spur.
The Jefferson story is a strange one.
Last summer, he opted out of the final year of his contract, which would have paid him $15.2 million last season.
But then the Spurs re-signed him to a new deal worth $39 million over four
years.
"So the idea of them deciding a year later to pay him not to play for
them was a little crazy."
When it was first reported that Jefferson would be amnestied, the Spurs were
hot in pursuit of Caron Butler, who would have been Jefferson’s replacement.
But Butler spurned the Spurs, signing with the L.A. Clippers for more money.
The Spurs were also reportedly interested in Grant Hill, Vince Carter and
Josh Howard. But those three all chose to sign elsewhere as well. And now,
the free agent options at the wing are slim pickings.
So it looks like Jefferson will remain in San Antonio, which isn’t
necessarily a horrible thing for the Spurs.
Their payroll will remain "above" the luxury tax line, but they’ll retain the guy who ranked fifth in 3-point
percentage last season. (薪資仍高於豪華稅)
It’s kind of interesting,” Popovich said. “Everybody’s always asking
about amnesty, and I’m always wondering, ‘Why Richard?’ As if we didn’t
advance in the playoffs because of Richard.”(其實POPO最該負責..)
Before the collective bargaining agreement was even finalized, there were
lists out there of who each team could or should waive via the amnesty
clause.
Cleveland: Baron Davis
Golden State: Charlie Bell
New Jersey: Travis Outlaw
New York: Chauncey Billups
Orlando: Gilbert Arenas
Portland: Brandon Roy
Will Jefferson survive the night? It appears he will. And maybe the only
other candidate to be amnestied before tonight’s deadline is the Clippers’
Mo Williams, who is now one of four point guards on his team.
恩..期限剩最後一天
