Now if only we can get a pure pg as backup... someone like, erm, Anthony Carter perhaps?

grabeh nag epistaxis nako dri bro... unsaon na ni ron... could it be the spurs/lakers VS celtics/orlando sa finals?
Kumbati na gyud ni sa Lakers ang Spurs coz naa na si Dice. Pero if di makuha balik sa Lakers si Odom, maglisod sila sa West specially Spurs.
It ain't over yet. Expect a sign and trade or a straight up trade to happen. Stay tuned SPURS fans!
This one is for the die-hards

The Spurs had a media event for their summer league team today, which was actually much more interesting than it sounds. The first thing we in the press horde noticed: The Spurs' summer league team doesn't practice nearly as long as their NBA team.
The Spurs kick off summer league play Sunday. Here are some odds and ends from today's festivities:
* Newly signed forward Marcus Haislip worked out with the team, but will not accompany it to Las Vegas. He looks to be a shade under 6-foot-10, more of a pick-and-pop forward than a power forward. In the 20 minutes of 5-on-5 we were allowed to see, Haislip displayed decent range on his jumper. He also missed a bunch of free throws. He'll fit right in.
* Nando de Colo, the third of the Spurs' second-round picks, won't play in Vegas after all. He has a prior commitment with his Euro team.
* Malik Hairston was all smiles, and should be. The Spurs rewarded him with a contract Wednesday, intent on letting him compete for one of the remaining roster spots. Marcus Williams won't play in the summer league after undergoing offseason wrist surgery but is expected to have a chance to make the roster when he comes back. The Spurs will probably wait to see how they acquit themselves before making a decision on whether to bring back Ime Udoka.
* Two players facing critical summers: George Hill and Ian Mahinmi. Hill will be handed the point-guard reins of the summer league squad, and allowed to sink or swim. The Spurs need him to be Mark Spitz -- he is their best option behind Tony Parker at this point. After losing the entire 2008-09 campaign to injury, Mahinmi needs to remind the Spurs of the potential that once made him a first-round draft choice. They have until the end of October to pick up his option for a fourth season.
* DeJuan Blair falling into the Spurs' lap on draft night certainly complicates the Spurs' decision-making regarding James Gist.
* Jack McClinton is a little dude, but I wouldn't want to fight him in a back alley.
