James White Called Back Up From Toros

[Kori Ellis]

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have recalled guard/forward James White from the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League.

White, who has yet to see any time with the Spurs, was assigned to the Toros on December 16 and appeared in three games, averaging 15.3 points and 2.7 rebounds in 29.3 minutes of action.

The former University of Cincinnati Bearcat was signed by San Antonio on November 3 after attending training camp with the Indiana Pacers. In eight preseason games with Indiana, White averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes of action. White also averaged 12.5 points with Indiana’s entry to the Pepsi Pro Summer League in Orlando.

White led the Bearcats in scoring (16.3) and free throw percentage (.838) during the 2005-06 season. An honorable mention All-Big East selection, he finished second on the Bearcats in steals (1.2), assists (2.0) and blocks (0.9) and third in rebounding (5.1) on the year. White scored a career-high 32 points, including a career-high five three-pointers, in a Big East Tourney loss to Syracuse on March 8.

White will join the Spurs tonight for their game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

WTF? Already?

That made no sense.

[ducks]

is beno traded?

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

It'd be sweet if he took Beno's spot on the active roster

[bdictjames]

We sure could use some energy.. hope he plays defense

[xcoriate]

:lmao wtf is Pop doing?

[ChumpDumper]

Unless he's on the active list tonight, I don't understand why they would call him up. Dude was amost getting 30mpg up here.

[Kori Ellis]

Guesses:

1. They didn't like how he's being used in Austin.

2. They are packaging him along with some other players in a trade :drunk

3. One of the Spurs swingmen is hurt that we don't know about.

[George Gervin's Afro]

Maybe Pop wants someone who is hungry to be on the court?

[ChumpDumper]

4. They are trading two or three players and want him on the active list.

[ducks]

beno and williams for?

[PM5K]

This is very CIA Popish.....

[MannyIsGod]

This is the kind of thing that makes people speculate too much. God damnit, pleae tell me Beno is at the airport.

[spurschick]

What's our draft situation in 2007? I've lost track as to whether we've traded for any first round picks.

[KEDA]

Beno is in the doghouse so bad that he is going to play James White out of position to make up for Beno's shortcomings on the court

[MannyIsGod]

beno and williams for?A Fruitcake and some tamales

[ChumpDumper]

5. They are going to start him against Redd to ease him into the NBA

[spurschick]

5. They are going to start him against Redd to ease him into the NBA

:lol

[ducks]

can beno get his late christmas gift and get traded?

[PM5K]

A Fruitcake and some tamales

Shit yeah!

[timvp]

I'm guessing either they didn't like how he was being used in Austin or they saw enough to figure out he's a good player and just brought him back up to keep working in the system.

The weird thing is the Toros play tonight, Thursday and Saturday, with all those games being at home. You keep him there five more days and he gets to play three games without having to travel. At the same time, the Spurs play three home games as well so it's not like they are leaving White behind.

Strange move.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I hope he plays tonight.

[spurschick]

What team could use Beno right now?

[polandprzem]

James must to play at least a minute to be ina SLAM DUNK COMPETITION

[timvp]

What team could use Beno right now?

Ljubljana Union Olimpija

[Bruno]

2. They are packaging him along with some other players in a trade :drunk


White can't be traded before February 7st.

It's really a strange move given Spurs and Toros schedule.

[themvp]

Ljubljana Union Olimpija


Dream on... :lol they're very poor.

[Kori Ellis]

White can't be traded before February 7st.

It's really a strange move given Spurs and Toros schedule.

Yeah I know, I was just making up an outlandish reason. It doesn't make sense to me at all.

I just hope it's not because some other Spur is injured.

[spurschick]

I hate when mystery shit like this happens. It puts my stomach in knots. :bang

[polandprzem]

IMO nothing makes sense.


But
Look carefully at the game cause White can be the second off the bench today

[polandprzem]

:lmao

I just looked at the Kori signature
Pop the Rudolph

[velik_m]

Ljubljana Union Olimpija

They could use his salary more, that team is going bancrupt.

[itzsoweezee]

makes no sense at all

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

E-Will+Oberto for Jeff Foster.
Then Beno+Scola for Sixers 1st round pick from Nuggets.

C DUNCAN/ELSON/BUTLER
PF FOSTER/BONNER/HORRY
SF BOWEN/WHITE
SG MANU/BARRY/FINLEY
PG TONY/VAUGHN

Then we have 2 picks for the draft. We draft a long 3(Warren Carter) and a PG(Acie Law). I know I fantasize a lot. I need to stop dreaming.

[Bruno]

Another possibility is that they haven't liked what White has done with Toros and they want to practice with him before deciding if they will waive him just before contracts become guaranteed.

[Spurs16212]

I'm curious...... Who would want a point guard with little to no intensity (Beno) and a past his prime forward (E. Williams). Unless they would take on the contracts because they expire for next season and create cap room. But who can we get in return? Draft picks or a solid role player or maybe both..... only time will tell why this move was made.

[timvp]

E-Will+Oberto for Jeff Foster.

The last person who suggested Beno was being looked at by the Sixers almost got sued and had to write a recant. Tread carefully.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, White wouldn't have to be recalled to be traded. A couple of trades happened last season without players being recalled. I want to say it was Sean Banks, but it may have been Dwayne Jones.

I remember that! Good thing I'm not a writer.

Ljubljana Union Olimpija

And you aren`t wrong much either. :lol

[Kori Ellis]

Dream on... they're very poor.


And you aren`t wrong much either. :lol

It was a joke. :rolleyes

[Pero]

Salary comments are true too though...

[Pero]

It was a joke. :rolleyes

Huh?? I know. But I don`t get you now?
How can you think that a team in Euroleague could NOT use someone like him?

[Bruno]

Aaron Miles for Beno Udrih. :)

[Bruno]

What's our draft situation in 2007?

Spurs picks for the 07 draft are :
Spurs first round pick
Better of Milwaukee's own 2007 2nd round pick and Houston's own 2007 2nd round pick
Bulls second round pick (top 51 protected)
Spurs second round pick

[Kamnik]

Better of Milwaukee's own 2007 2nd round pick and Houston's own 2007 2nd round pick

Spurs second round pick

some international players we never heard of will be picked with all those second round picks for sure :spin

[T Park]

Aaron Miles for Beno Udrih

Sorry, Beno does nothing for the backup Cardinals infielder position :)

[Kori Ellis]

How can you think that a team in Euroleague could NOT use someone like him?

Of course, a lot of overseas teams could use him. I'm sure there's a couple NBA teams that could use him too.

[T Park]

I wish those teams would call the Spurs.

[Borosai]

Oh yeah, someone just grabbed my nuts. I hope he plays...that would be fantastic. Get some young legs out there to play some D. Forget scoring, just D up and show the vets how it's done. Oh, and get a nasty dunk please.

Pop, if you are reading this (I know you are), play him please. Thanks.

[Das Texan]

3 guys out with the flu.


guess we know why white was recalled today.

[Steve-O-Matic]

Relax folks, White was re-called simply because Ginobili, Barry and Bonner are all out for at least tonight's game with a stomach virus. Asst. coach Budenholzer got it, too.

[SenorSpur]

Assuming the Spurs blowout the Bucks, I hope White gets some PT tonight.

[polandprzem]

Nice blowout
