Under that assumption, Hairston better not get table scraps from the front office
Shannon Brown is ing 6'4". Who you gonna cut?

Hairston's 6'6" with freakishly long arms. Try again.
I'd probably take Shannon Brown over Garrett Temple, but it's barely worth discussing.
I'd take him over Neal and maybe over Temple. I wouldn't cut Hairston for him.

Cavaliers Sign Christian Eyenga
The Cleveland Cavaliers have signed guard/forward Christian Eyenga to a contract, Cavaliers General Manager Chris Grant announced today. Per league and team policy, terms of the contract were not announced.
Eyenga, 21, was the Cavaliers’ first round selection (30th overall) in the 2009 NBA Draft. He averaged 3.9 points on .561 shooting and 2.0 rebounds in 12.0 minutes in 29 regular season games during the 2009-10 season with DKV Joventut Badalona of the Spanish League. The Spanish League is widely regarded as the second-best domestic league in the world behind the NBA. In 11 EuroCup games, the 6-foot-5 guard/forward posted averages of 3.4 points on .444 shooting and 1.2 rebounds in 9.7 minutes per game.
“We’re looking forward to having Christian continue his development on the court here with Coach Scott and our team,” said Cavs General Manager Chris Grant. “He has worked hard and we were very encouraged by his recent performance in summer league.”

Are you a trash collector OV? You have to learn to let things go. I think the Spurs made a statement by signing Neel. Besides, with all those teams knocking on Hairston's door trying to get a piece of that 6'6' with freakish wing span, the Spurs might lose out. There aren't too many "air" Hairston's remaining on the market this offseason. We should be blessed he supplied us with a warm bench seat for as long as he did. Unless, you think we should start Malik over Hill and let him run the show because the Spurs can never get enough Malik. How can the Spurs even cope with such a loss? There would definitely be a shift in the balance of powers in the Western Conference if Malik were no longer wearing silver and black.
Hey look, a strawman army!
Malik Homerism 101...Catch the fever.
You really want Shannon Brown that bad?
Not as bad as Barnes or Bell, but he's a step up from Malik. Besides, the Spurs can only hope for sloppy seconds. There not going to sign first class FA's either because the want more money or will take less for a chance at a championship. SB is probably attainable and he averaged 8.1 ppg. He wouldn't be a bad addition off the bench. We also have no idea what Neel or Anderson will bring to the table offensively. They haven't played one minute on an NBA court. It would help to have some athletic insurance who has already produced and had success at the NBA level. He's no blockbuster, but not a bad role player with championship experience.
I just don't see how Brown signing with the Spurs would impact Hairston. It seems that if they brought in a combo guard like Brown, they would cut a combo guard like Temple.
It didn't have to be Haisrston, I just came up with a name. Temple is a possibility. From what I read, the Neel signing most likely impacted Hairston though.
Why should we sign Brown? We have a nice guard rotation.
Parker/Hill/Manu/Anderson/Temple. Isn't that good enough ? I think it is. Unless you guys just want a nice dunk show.
That was never the problem with the Spurs.
We wanted a BIG to help Timmy - DONE
We wanted a SF with good defense and good 3-point shooting - NOT DONE
We overpaid a guy that doesn't fit and we overpaid a guy that chokes big time in playoffs.
That's basically our offseason.
Who, left on the market, fills that role? Slim pickings from here on out.
Rasual Butler is still available, which is odd considering he is one of the best remaining SF FA. In a couple of articles I've read about "the best available FA left on the market" Butler hasn't been mentioned.
Not sure how. Hairston's a better shooter, a better defender, and he's taller. Gary Neal's not likely to make the team, but if he does it'll be at the expense of Jerrells or Gee.
Maybe the fact that no one mentions him in that context is significant?
Where did you read that a Neal signing meant Hairston would probably be gone? And please don't say McDonald...he's got about as much insight to the Spurs as my soon-to-be-born son.
As far as job security for non-guaranteed contracts go, I'd put it in this order...
1) Hairston
2) Temple
3) Gee
4) Jerrells
If Brown is brought in, it will be at the expense of the low man on the totem pole.
.
It's funny because at the beginning I said it was barely worth the debate...must be a slow Friday
I don't think McDonald would be stupid enough to suggest that Neal's going to push Hairston out. He and the Spurs probably agree with your order above. If there's an odd-man out it might be Gee because the Spurs could possibly need Jerrells if his point guard skills continue to show improvement.
Like if they needed a PG because of a Tony Parker trade?
