for lots of reasons, but most of all because Richard Jefferson’s ears are way to small for his head and it sort of creeps me out.

Everytime I see Richard Jefferson I think when he contested Amare’s dunk…Owned…Also I like Hedo..I actually think he would be better with the second unit and start Warrick..Dragic is a good spot up shooter and Hedo can make more plays I think people will be surprised at how well Hakeem Warrick finishes pick and rolls..He’s the poor man’s Amare in my opinion I’ve liked him since he was an Orangemen

been berry, berry good to me !!

Let’s see….Turk- Pass, Dribble, Create shots for self and others, 3 point shooter. Jeff – occasionally drives to the basket, More miss than hit shooter, ,,,,,is there another talent that I’m missing? Tough choice but I’ll take Hedo, whether he was on the Suns or not!!

I first met him at ASU summer camp. Don Newman, ASU’s coach at the time, was recruiting two valley players, Donnell Knight from St. Mary’s and Richard Jefferson from Moon Valley. Imo Knight was the better player at the and he never became more than ASU’s 6th or 7th man. I happened to be on Jefferson’s team and of the 8 games we played that week he only played in 3 of them, 2 we lost. Ever since then I have always followed his career closely and it always surprised how well his game has been received over the years. I’ve always hated his game. He’s never really improved/changed his game since then. He still has an extremely slow release on his J, he’s still soft, doesn’t defend particularly well and has no killer instinct. His game is going to continue to diminish year after year as his athleticism gets worse with age. That said, he’s made tens of millions and done well for himself and he’s deserved whatever he’s been able to get, but the player the Spurs will be getting over the life of that contract is not worth more than MLE $. I can’t think of one reason how someone could argue he’s worth over the MLE. I would rather have CHildress than Jefferson.
Hedo is very similar in that he too just came off a abhorrent season in which he didn’t earn his 8 figure salary. He’s either going to play like he did in Toronto last year and be the same underwhelming 10 million a year slouch that Jefferson is going to prove to be with the Spurs. I desperately hope that doesn’t happen, but I know he can’t get any worse than that at least. Or he’s going to come to camp in shape, slightly refreshed from not having to go thru playoff basketball, and in game shape from playing for Turkey in the World Championships. I will be trying to catch every Turkey game to see how Hedo looks, and anyone who wants some advanced insight into what we will be getting from him next season should be trying to do the same.
Answer to post: HEDO

Jefferson’s game is based completely around his athleticism. Everyone knows, that’s the first thing to go as a player ages. Just look at ‘Trix. I wouldn’t touch Jefferson with a ten foot pole. I’m ecstatic that he will be killing the Spurs’ cap for the next 4 seasons.

Hedo will age nicely as he can shoot the J and has great court vision. Both are attributes that don’t diminish with age.

HEDO

I think R J and Hedo had similar seasons in that they both didin’t live up to expectations. RJ has been working out with Greg Popovich personally and was the best sf on the market available to them thats why we resigned him (plus all the new spurs suck there first season according to Tony Parker). Hedo had to be traded because of his poor attitude and bad relationship with the fans and the team.
