    Not really because we wouldn't get anything in return for that worthy enough to play valuable minutes come May and June. Finley/ Bonner trade scenarios are pipe dreams.

    Dude, Sarcasm, look it up.

    I thought he was making a joke on how many people have suggested Finley/ Bonner for something valuable in return. Therefore put the picture of a dead horse. I don't think he was being sarcastic on how we can get something great back in return for Finley/ Bonner like you suggest.

    dumbest move probably all off season by the spurs

    what hurts the spurs by putting a guy in austin for one year and seeing how he did and if sucked in austin cut his ass or tell him to play in europe he is a of a shooter i hope no one offers him a contract and ends up fighting years down the line with jerrells

    who knows maybe he had a character issue but there musy be some reason why he was cut not just because he sucked in summer league

    but please pop and rc get rid of bonner or finley even for cash considerations now we really need some more young guys on this team with hairston and williams who can play

    The San Antonio Spurs' 2009 second round draft choice, Jack McClinton, has reportedly asked to be released. In a tweet Wednesday night directed at Minnesota Timberwolves' rookie guard, Jonny Flynn, McClinton responded when asked if his training camp would be in San Antonio, "na i asked them to release me bro, im tryna get in wit somebody else it just wasnt working out over there."

    Dumbest?

    I'd say more unfortunate than anything.

    The Spurs didn't have room for him on the roster, which is actually not such a bad thing, since it means they've actually got plenty of quality players, and Jack wanted no part of going overseas or playing with the Toros.

    No one's at fault here.

    It would have been ideal if Jack would've agreed to go overseas or play with the Toros for a year, but it was something out of the Spurs' hands. Jack wants to play in the NBA and seeing as the Spurs would inevitably waive him at some point, they gave him his release so that he'd have a better chance at making someone's roster.

    Like I said, it's unfortunate, but the Spurs did the right thing given the cir stance, and hopefully Jack lands on his feet. And if he should fail to catch on with another NBA team, I'm sure he'll have a spot on the Toros waiting if he decides to not going overseas.

    Something that'd be possible because of the first-class way in which the Spurs handled his release.

    Oh, and, have you seen my stapler???

    McClinton will be overseas or in the D-League by November. He is not a NBA player right now.

    McClinton sums it up pretty well on his Twitter. Pretty much the same as everything we heard and speculated throughout the day.

    http://twitter.com/JackMcClinton

    "in response to all,yes, I have been released from san an.I enjoyed working with them so much this summer &learned alot from the veteran club"

    "bc there was not an open spot 4 me, I asked to be released to pursue my dream elsewhere.Thank u 2 the san an fans for all of your support!"

    "Gnite tweet world... 2moro, new day, same grind. My shot is feeling better than ever! Let’s see where it will take me next"

    interesting about Dwayne Jones. I've always wanted to see him get invited to training camp. McClinton had no chance of making the roster this year. Good luck to you Jack!

    1. The Rockets have four players that play SF (Battier, Ariza, T-Mac and Budinger). They just signed Ariza, T-Mac is in his contract year, and Chase is a rookie; Shane might be the odd man out.
    2. They don't have anyone that can play at SG aside from T-Mac (they want Barry out).
    3. They badly need a center.

    Those are cir stances why people are thinking the Rockets might be willing to let go of Battier. Although unlikely, a trade for Mason and Mihinmi can be appealing for them.
    to get Battier from Rockets we have to give Splitter, Battier has fine contract for his value so only expiring contracts will not be enough here, but adding Splitter will give us Battier(i dont know if it's worth for us to give Splitter for Battier - i think no).
    in other side only expiring contracts could give us Nocioni or Jax!

    if a trade will not made their a good chance that either Williams or Hairston make the team and the Spurs instead sign an experience PG like Chucky Atkins.

    Because of his size if he ever wants to play in the NBA he really needs to develop some PG skills, no way he can defend the SG of the league.

    Dumb move! He thinks he's too good for San Antonio's pre-season or Toros D-league. He didn't show up during Summer League.

    It shouldn't have mattered if he didn't have a slot, the experience in itself would have been worth the investment.

    Oh well!
