    Wondering why took them so long. Is it normal for rookie contracts?

    He won't hit a single 3G until January. Remember how Bones started out?

    Spurs were trying to get him to take less than the 120%.

    Unless they consider Anderson as a backup at both SG and SF. But, yeah there are a bunch of spots still technically "up for grabs".

    I wish there could have been a way to get Anderson and Damion James.

    Our 2nd unit would have been very nice....Hill, Anderson, James, Blair, Bonner.

    I hope Anderson can become our Ray Allen.....a shooting assassin.

    Good thing. I have a good feeling about this guy. I think he's going to be a solid player off the bench. He's a natural shooter and scorer. I could be wrong. We'll see though.

    Yep, but Anderson is a 2. This backup 3 business is intriguing....

    So what's Anderson's leverage here? He threatens to sit out a year and sign as a FA elsewhere?

    Someone posted in another thread saying that the Spurs didn't sign Hill and another rookie until sometime around September...

    I can't wait to see this guy play, I think he'll fit right in with the Spurs and I think he'll be a pretty darn good NBA player. I wasn't too excited when I heard the Spurs drafted him because I hadn't seen much footage of him. After watching a crap load of videos of him tearing up and hearing how unselfish and humble he is from a bunch of OSU fans I'm really excited.

    He has a winning at ude just like Manu, he's an extremely hard worker as evidenced by his college career. Dude went from just a spot up shooter his Freshman season to scoring 22PPG in a variety of ways while getting double teamed and swarmed by defenses cause there wasn't any other player on his team that could carry the offensive load. He was the Big 12 MVP for a reason.

    I'm curious to see if it's for 120% or 100% of the rookie scale because it could decide if Spurs are able to carry 13 or 14 players next year.

    Jefferson/Gee/Hairston
    Duncan/Blair/Bonner
    Splitter/McDyess

    An insurance big will need to be signed, unless the Spurs just want to pick from the D-League crop and keep a roster spot open.

    There is still a lot of off-season to go though.
    I'll have...

    Tony Parker | George Hill
    Manu Ginobili | James Anderson | Gary Neal
    Richard Jefferson | Alonzo Gee
    Tim Duncan | DeJuan Blair | Matt Bonner
    Tiago Splitter | Antonio McDyess

    IR 13. Garrett Temple
    IR 14. Malik Hairston
    IR 15. N/A (Alonzo Gee if we sign a backup SF)
