pop says team plans to waive brewer

[ducks]

San Antonio put guard Mike Wilks on the injured list Thursday to open a roster spot, but Popovich said the team plans to waive Brewer.

Good. Pooh's namesake has no business on the Spurs roster. I wonder if they will attempt to re-sign Sato if he clears waivers?

For the Spurs, the acquisition of Mohammed provides an additional option at center behind Rasho Nesterovic. Mohammed, in his seventh NBA season, also could be used as the backup to Tim Duncan at power forward -- the role Rose had for the last 7 1/2 seasons.

It also allowed San Antonio to position itself for deals down the road by unloading the last five-plus years of Roses' seven-year, $42 million contract.

``Contract-wise and basketball-wise, we think it will be good for the franchise,'' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said late Thursday. ``If you have an opportunity to trade somebody and you think it makes your team and organization better in the long run, the responsibility is there to do it.''

In the short run, he said Muhammed's size will help the Spurs down the stretch and into the postseason.

``What we're doing is preparing for playoff time,'' Popovich said. ``He gives us the size that we're going to need.''

:rolleyes

and the $$$ effects how the spurs play basketball wise later down the track.

Maliks play was effected by his contract, Pops coaching was effected by Maliks contract.

Parkers play at the beginning of the season was effected by his contract.

Not to mention we just shed $20M , its about the $$$'s but they directly influence the way players play, and teams produce.

Do you think Malik leaving is going to have any kind of mental effect on the other guys on the team in the way that they play in the next few games?

[pooh]

I don't know how long it's been since Jamison has played during the regular season, he's easy to find in those fancy suits and "preditor" like hair. I'm sure he'll be waived quickly.

[mattyc]

Suprise....

"Jamison, welcome to San Antonio. No, that's quite alright, don't unpack your bags."

[Timothy Dunkan]

Brewer is garbage! I hope they waive him right away. And PLEASE bring back Sato.

Keep your Bob Marley ass in New York Jamison.
