The tried-and-true formula for San Antonio Spurs offseason acquisitions was predictable. You surround the three-headed silver and black monster of Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker with shooters and defenders. For the longest time, it made sense and worked. Duncan would draw double-teams on the low block and pass the ball out to wide [...]

Former Spur Malik Hairston is undergoing tests to assess the seriousness of a back injury that may have occurred while he was still a member of the Spurs. If the back injury is deemed long term, Hairston’s contract with Siena could be voided. In the interim, Siena plans to replace Hairston with David Moss. Hairston’s [...]

According to Mike Monroe of the San Antonio Express-News, Danny Ferry is about to return to the San Antonio Spurs front office. Ferry, who resigned as general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of LeBron James’ free agency defection in July, officially will be announced as a member of the Spurs’ front office by week’s [...]

It’s no secret that the San Antonio Spurs lack depth at the small forward position. Richard Jefferson, at this point, is the clear starter at the 3. But behind him there is a significant drop-off. Alonzo Gee could be Jefferson’s backup this year. He’s technically listed as a shooting guard, but he has the build [...]

When San Antonio Spurs assistant coach Mike Budenholzer said before the Las Vegas Summer League that Malik Hairston wasn’t playing because Hairston had fans in San Antonio, apparently he meant some Italians who were in town to offer Malik a contract. In fairly surprising news today, Malik Hairston signed a two year deal with Italian club [...]

Much of the offseason player movement has trickled to a halt, so barring another point guard that David Kahn just has to have, a final destination for Shaq, or another scathing LeBron column from Adrian Wojnarowski, the majority of the summer’s story lines have played out to their finish. For the most part, as has [...]

Most of the time, when there’s a sequel, it sucks. It’s usually a half-assed attempt to capitalize on a previous edition for cheap. In hopefully-unrelated news, Richard Jefferson will re-sign the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday.

Next summer, when the league is in the midst of a lockout and we struggle to find topics to write about, there should be a wealth of information to look back on from this summer as to why the NBA is in such dire financial difficulties. Cap space may have been in abundance, but common [...]

Newly wed and now newly signed, Tiago Splitter interrupted his honeymoon long enough to stop in San Antonio and make his long awaited arrival official. Having forged his game overseas against the best competition not in the NBA, Splitter is no ordinary rookie, joining Arvydas Sabonis as one of only two players to win the [...]

It would appear that the biggest source of San Antonio Spurs fans “backup quarterback syndrome” is ready to sign with the place that seemingly invented it-Dallas. Ed Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports that the Dallas Mavericks are close to signing Spurs free agent center Ian Mahinmi: Mahinmi (6-11) played 26 games for the [...]

There have been no reports of meetings pitched diagramming how Matt Bonner can own his own sandwich chain, nor have there been any accounts of musician Matt Weddle being brought in to recruit him a la Jay-Z, but the Spurs appear to have settled on a fair price on Matt “the Mendoza Line” Bonner. New Hampshire’s [...]

Through shades of black and silver, color me unimpressed with the Summer of LeBron. For all the hype, has anything drastically changed in the NBA? Well, one thing has changed. Cleveland is crushed. It’s hard not to feel sympathy for Cavaliers fans, who live in a city that does not simply endure suffering. They define [...]

AOL Fanhouse’s Chris Tomasson has published a report saying that Shaquille O’Neal’s goal is to play two more seasons, and the team he is targeting is your San Antonio Spurs. He’d really like to go to San Antonio and team with Timmy (Duncan), and try to win one more title,” said the source about O’Neal, who starred [...]
