Richard Jefferson Opts Out of Contract http://ppt.cc/t41I by Timothy Varner Wednesday, June 30th, 2010...5:11 pm In a somewhat unexpected turn of events, Richard Jefferson has opted out of the final year of his contract with the Spurs. This move still leaves the Spurs above the cap, but will undoubtedly ease the financial burden on Peter Holt’s wallet. The Spurs could be looking at a tax free 2010-11. 有点出乎预料，Richard Jefferson他跳了。在这动作之後，马刺全队总薪资仍高於 薪资帽之上，但无疑地这让Peter Holt的财务压力有所减轻 。马刺可能在2010-11球季 不用缴豪华税了。 Why would Richard Jefferson leave 15 million dollars of guaranteed money on the table? He and his agent are no doubt convinced that Jefferson can secure a long term contract which guarantees Jefferson more money over, say, the next 5 years. That is, Jefferson is willing to take a financial hit this season for the benefit of more cash over the balance of his career, especially in light of the next CBA, which promises to reduce player salaries. 为什麽RJ要放掉台面上可得到的15M呢? 他与他的经纪人无疑确信Jefferson能得到一 份有保障的长期合约，在接下来五年获得更多的钱。这也就是说，RJ愿意以这一年的薪 资，来换取他在剩余的球员生涯上赚取更多金钱，尤其就接下来面临的CBA来看，球员 们的薪资很可能会有所降低。 From the Spurs perspective, this is a financial blessing. Although, it’s not necessarily a help to the team’s on court success. Richard Jefferson’s expiring contract could have brought back a decent player for the Spurs, and now the team is woefully thin at small forward with only the MLE and LLE at their disposal. 就马刺观点来看，这是桩好事(财务上)。尽管这未必有帮到球队的战力。RJ的到期约 可能能让马刺换个还不赖的球员，而如今马刺的小前锋位置还蛮惨的，能用的只有中产 (MLE)与特殊条款(LLE，1M)。 The Spurs maintain Richard Jefferson’s Bird Rights, giving San Antonio the option of a sign and trade or simply resigning RJ to a more modest figure. The Spurs, however, would not want to resign Jefferson at the cost of a steep tax bill. There are a handful of teams–the Knicks come to mind–who might be in the market for a sign and trade piece later this summer. 马刺保有RJ的鸟权(Bird Rights)，让马刺有先签後换or重新以合理价钱重签RJ的 操作空间。然而，马刺不会在重签RJ上花上过高的钱。少数球队比方像尼克队可能会 在今夏球员市场中参与S&T的交易。 If I were a betting man, I’d say Richard Jefferson has played his last game for the Spurs. And, more to the point, that the Spurs will easily replace Jefferson’ production with a less sexy player, but one who is a better fit for their system. 假如我是个赌徒，我会说Richard Jefferson已经与马刺分手了。接着，更重要的是， 马刺将能轻易找到取代RJ贡献、少一些光环、但更适合马刺体系的球员。 Player Option / Team Option / Qualifying Offer / 80% Scale Offer Player 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 Tim Duncan $18,700,000 $21,300,000 $0 Tony Parker $13,500,000 $0 $0 Manu Ginobili $11,854,584 $12,981,038 $14,107,492 Antonio McDyess $4,860,000 $5,220,000 $0 George Hill $1,157,160 $2,086,359 $3,079,466 DeJuan Blair $918,000 $986,000 $1,054,000 Malik Hairston $854,389 $0 $0 Alonzo Gee $762,195 $0 $0 TOTALS: $52,606,328 $39,501,038 $14,107,492 --
