McClinton's new team is Aliaga Petkim.
McClinton is a SOB.

Marcus Williams definitely has the tools, but maybe he just needs some playing time against better compe ion. Overseas, starting right next to the Gist
I checked this website before I posted and the McClinton update was not there, now it is.

Why he didn't go there earlier? The Spurs could have keep his rights. He's a looooooong shot to make the NBA but we never know...
What can I say? McClinton has failed.In memory of KBP, the 2500 seat arena that Jack will call home:
He made the same choice Marcus made in 2007. Spurs wanted both players to find a team in Europe after Summer League, both players wanted to take a shot at making an NBA team.
At least we still have the Gist. I wonder where he will wind up.
That arena is > than most of the Greek ones.In memory of KBP, the 2500 seat arena that Jack will call home:
Damn Jack, shoulda listened to the Spurs dude...
Even though the Spurs don't have his rights, if Jack ever gets to the point where he is worth a contract in the NBA, the Spurs can get him. Sure, he does not have to go to them first, but the way the Spurs handled their business with Jack I am sure would put them in the lead for his services if it ever got to that point.
That's probably where he would've ended up anyway if he didn't want to play for the Toros (in a crappier looking arena).
As a Spurs fan, I celebrate the decision. It's too bad someone has to be waived, but at least it was the right someone this year.
Goodluck to Marcus.
The right decision.
Like I said. Marcus Williams is not an NBA player.
...except for the EXPERIENCE! Whatever happens in his career, you can bet that two years with the Spurs have made him a better balla, and maybe even a better person. And it looks really good on his resume for jobs in Europe.
Good luck, Marcus.
Hairston is simply the better player.
let's get the season started
Speak for yourself.
Hope Marcus can find a home, if not, I'd love to see him back in Austin, but I know he can go somewhere else and be effective.
it won't be easy to find a place for Marcus in Europe. almost 100 players have been waived of NBA teams since beginning of Oktober (many are better known in Europe) and Euroleague and most domestic leagues already started.
MW either goes to 3rd level compe ion like Germany or France (even there it won't be that easy to find a team that gives him a guaranteed contract), or he will be back in the D-league. I expect the latter.
It was the decision I hoped the Spurs would make, but I am still sorry to see Marcus get cut. I also hope he plays overseas for a year to make some money and allowing the Spurs to try getting him next year. Seems like a pretty level kid with an interesting set of skills.
It is also good to see the hard work of Hairston paid off. I think Malik's dedication to defense is the beginning of our own home grown parameter defender.
That's pretty insulting to people who have worked for years to get into a certain career field that actually makes a difference in peoples' lives. These kids get paid a ridiculous amount of money to take care of their body, train, and play a game. And even if they aren't good enough to ride the pine (while still making more money than most people), they still have other outlets to get paid as you mentioned.
Nobody is saying that. And I don't advocate trash talking the players, but let's be realistic here. They're playing a game.
I apologize for saying that Williams worked harder than 90% of the people here. That wasn't appropriate but came out of disgust for the mean spiritidness expreesed by quite a few here, constantly trashing Williams.
That said in terms of "get paid a ridiculous amount of money" he wasn't making bundles of money playing D-league. If you look at the hours he put in and a lot of the guys who never make it, it probably doesn't even make minimum wage. It's there choice, there dream but why trash guys who are trying?
