He will sign with Panathinaikos.
I thought he was the new Rasheed?
He will sign with Panathinaikos.
Hailslip sucks anyways!
If true, makes sense. He obviously wasn't an NBA player. Had the size and the build but the skill level just wasn't there. Add in the fact that Matt Bonner is back and Ian Mahinmi passed him in the rotation and Haislip was never going to play a meaningful minute again.
I'm guessing Haislip offered to give back some money so he could go sign a bigger contract with that Greek team ... and the Spurs jumped at the opportunity.
Precursor to a move or acquisition of some type?
By the way, where is this being reported?
That is great. Save the Spur some money and gives the guy a chance to play.
Doubtful. Seems to be tied to that Greek team wanting him and not the Spurs wanting to make room.

Posted by Inside Hoops
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have waived forward Marcus Haislip to allow him to pursue opportunities outside of the NBA.
The 6-10, 230-lb Haislip appeared in 10 games for San Antonio and averaged 2.5 points and 1.0 rebounds in 4.4 minutes.
The Spurs roster stands at 14.
At least he proved to himself that he took the shot but just wasn't good enough for NBA. No shame, kid can go make buku money in Europe and live better than us still.
No.
Panathinakos was looking for a PF to play the Euroleague top16 because they had injuries at the PF spot. The deadline to sign this player is next Tuesday.
Haislip will clear NBA waivers this Tuesday just before the Euroleague deadline.
Wonder how much money the Spurs saved. It would have been nice if that Greek team had to pay a buyout, but that's apparently a one-way street.
Probably won't mean much, but it does leave the possibility open for an open roster spot..does this potentially save the Spurs any money? I would imagine it's nothing of importance..
Haislip definitely isn't an NBA guy though, you could see that when he was overwhelmed in preseason..I wish him well though, I'm sure he'll continue to have success in Europe..
Speaking of Europe, has Marcus Williams tried there yet? I hope he isn't still trying to make the NBA..
If Hailsip has accepted to forfeit the rest of his salary, Spurs have saved $785,044.
He is playing in China for $200K.
Had you heard rumblings or did it just make sense once you heard the news?
Tim and Kori please un ban me now?
Remember i told you this head of time. I told you from my inside source same as Bourousis story proved true.
Please now. After Bourousis story was true you never took my ban off. Now I again tell you this about Haislip.
I have PROVEN my truth and my inside sources.
Tim remember I told you 1.5 million euros. Haislip will be backup PF in PAO for next month due to their injuries.
I told you this BEFORE press even knew about it.
Just like everything I said about Bourousis - Popvich confirmed it was true. You banned me for arguing about it. You made fun of me. Called me a liar. You never took the ban off after you found I told the truth.
Again now I prove my truth and source to you about haislip.
Please be fair and let me back now that you know all along I was always telling truth in the boards.
There have been articles today saying that Panathinaikos was interested in Haislip.
It makes sense that the Spurs would let him go to pursue a better opportunity while also saving a little cash. But it also gives them little roster flexibility to take a flier on some kind of D-League prospect or maybe even bring aboard a guy like Dorrell Wright without having to give up any assets.
Good luck, 'Slip.
Thanks, Bruno.
Also, Tim I said over and over in this forum Haislip was a bad player and sucked and was like 20th best PF in Euroleague MAYBE to be kind and generous.
Bruno and Mountainballer lied lied lied to the forum that he was good. They lied lied lied telling all the Americans I was lying and they told truth and how good he would be and how great he would help Spurs.
I did everything to tell the truth and say he sucked and was garbage. You did not believe me - none of the fans here did.
You banned me also for arguing about this and calling Bruno and mountainballer liars.
I KNOW they are liars and never watch euroleague. Once again I was proven right. You KNOW now once again I told the truth and they were lying.
It was them all along that were lying and I was telling the truth. Please take my ban off now that you know that all along I was always being honest here and being picked on unfairly.
I thought Bynum was the next Kareem?
K_B_P.
You're going to call in, right?
Oh well... All the best for Marcus!
