Wonder who we are signing.
Exclusive: Garrett Temple to be Waived
By Stephen Kersey | San Antonio Dispatch
Garrett Temple has been waived by the San Antonio Spurs, according to sources close to the team. Temple appeared in three games this season, totaling two points, two rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes of play.
He was originally signed by the Spurs on March 13th, 2010. After injuries depleted San Antonio’s point guard position, Temple stepped in and performed better than expected. He started four games, averaging 11.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. In his first start, he scored 15 points, dished off four assists and grabbed three rebounds in leading the Spurs to a 95-86 win over the Sacramento Kings.
This past summer, Temple was supposed to be featured on San Antonio’s summer league team. However, in his first outing of summer league, the undrafted guard out of LSU suffered a sprained ankle that kept him out the remainder of the games.
During exhibition play this season, Temple failed to impress. In seven games, he averaged 3.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.9 rebounds. He shot 36% from the field and missed both of his three-point attempts.

Wow, so much for being Pop's new favorite player.
Damn, I liked Temple too, he looked good before the injury in summer league. Best of luck to him.
I had a dream last night that the spurs waived gary neal (who, btw, is my new favorite underdog). Glad it wasn't him, but sucks for temple. Did quinn beat him out?
He hasn't looked like the same player as last year. good luck to the guy.
Damn... this guy was supposed to be the next G. Hill
There is no reason to have 4 PG's.
Since he hasn't suited up for the past 2 games, it's not that much of a surprise.
What's next?
So he was the next Next Tony Parker?
I don´t like this, it was good to have a 3rd string PG that already knows part of our playbook (the one that says, give it to manu).
Idk why they did this, he had a guaranteed contract, so it should be for the rooster spot, i wonder who is comming.
I liked the kid and hopefully he will end up someplace or in the development league.
seems like a good kid, hope things work out for him.
Parker is the only one I'm familiar with for the 2010 team unless you mean one of the championship teams of old
Temple did almost nothing in preseason and regular season and the Quinn signing was a very bad sign for him. Today is the last day Temple was "free" for Spurs. There was no point in keeping him if Spurs had given up on him.
What is also interesting to note is that Gee is still on the roster while he costs money to Spurs. Have Spurs still some hope for him or is it just because they haven't found an interesting player to replace him? My guess is that it's the later and Gee will also be waived before November 25th when his contract will be $200K guaranteed.
Quinn over him.... Come on
Congrats to Kersey for breaking it, we have ourselves another reliable source.
Jerrells is still available and will work out with other PGs this Friday in Minny. Spurs are allowed to re-sign him in one week. If he is still available and if Quinn hasn't been convincing, I can see Spurs waiving Quinn and re-signing Jerrells.
This has been exactly what I've been saying since he arrived. WTF do we need with another George Hill on the team for? Isn't one enough?
And not even George Hill. Like George Hill Lite. I'm glad Pop finally canned his ass.
I don't know about you but I was giving Jerrells an edge over Temple during preseason.
maybe he will play in the D league for a while.
Sad to see him go, but I'm not surprised. Since his injury, he hasn't impressed at all. I hope he lands a gig somewhere else, though. He is definitely talented.
Temple couldn't defend quick PGs very well and he showed a poor ability to break a press in the backcourt. Plus, he wasn't scoring well when given the opportunity.
For defense and scoring, I certainly like Jerrells over Quinn, although Jerrells makes some horrible passes. When Tony needs a breather, George, Manu, Neal and Quinn are the choices to defend opposing PGs. Pick your poison, at this point.
I'm somewhat surprised since Temple played so well last year and did well in his few minutes of summer league. He also had a chance to be the team's best perimeter defender.
That said, he was horrible in preseason and in his minutes this season. He needs to keep improving his offensive game. As of right now, his offense isn't good enough to survive in the NBA. At the very least, he needs to become a quality three-point shooter.
Temple was terrible during preseason and regular season
Smart move by the Spurs
Good luck Temple
