The San Antonio Spurs will use the amnesty clause on Richard Jefferson once the collective bargaining agreement is ratified, allowing the team 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.
The Spurs are aggressively looking for a small forward, with Caron Butler and Josh Howard high on their wish list.
Jefferson, 31, averaged 11 points and 3.8 rebounds last season.

Another source close to Howard confirmed that Boston, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, San Antonio, Denver, New Orleans and New Jersey have all made obligatory calls, with the Wizards, Bulls and Spurs engaging in more frequent conversations.
The Celtics, Bulls and Heat tried to sign Howard last summer before he re-signed with Washington.

What is the worst-case scenario for Spurs fans as it relates to Tim Duncan?
The NBA lockout devours the entire 2011-12 season, and then Duncan retires. Duncan's contact is set to expire after this season. If the NBA labor impasse winds up cancelling the entire schedule, would the Spurs' franchise icon simply retire instead of re-upping for another season in 2012-13, when he will be 36?
In May, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich dismissed the notion that Duncan had played his final game in a Spurs uniform. Speaking at a basketball clinic Saturday afternoon in San Antonio, Tony Parker -- Duncan's point guard for the past 10 seasons -- echoed those doubts. ... "I see myself playing at least two or three more seasons with Timmy."

The team has signed Thodoros Papaluokas and Jordan Farmar to fill the void left by Pargo.
"This has absolutely nothing to do with listening to other offers in Europe," Chicago-based agent Mark Bartelstein said of Pargo's decision to opt out of his Maccabi deal. "This is all about Jeremy's dream to play in the NBA. That's what he wants to pursue."
Sources in Israel say that the San Antonio Spurs expressed interest in Pargo before the lockout began. Sources in the states contend that several other teams are interested in Pargo.
