At first we thought it would be Brandon Roy, but now it appears as if Richard Jefferson will be the first amnesty victim. After all, it probably is time for the Spurs to get younger.
The San Antonio Spurs have decided to use their one-time amnesty clause on Richard Jefferson(notes) to waive their starting small forward, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
The decision allows the Spurs to remove the three years and $30.5 million left on Jefferson’s contract from the team’s payroll for salary-cap and tax purposes. Jefferson will still be paid the $30.5 million.
