It'll be interesting to hear if there's anything to this.
I'm in Italy right now, and i read a news about that. I dunno if ther's a link cause it was a newspaper (Gazzatta dello sport). But i'll tell u more if i'll know somethig more.

I hope he does go. He's shown me nothing on an NBA court that shows me he has any potential to fulfill a bench role in the NBA anytime soon.
It seems to be true. montapaschi lost Sato and would replace him with Malik.
So maybe the coaches keeping him out of summer league saying, "We already know what you bring to the table" wasn't such a good thing?
And here i found a link, if u need translation tell me.

Well, it's a little more than a rumor:
Montepaschi Sienna official web site:

I guess Spurs will waive him soon to let him sign in Italy.
and Sienna is a good place for Malik to develop his game.
Definitely need a translation if possible.
well, nothing more than a confirm. Ther's a description of Maliks sessions and something about his ppg. it's a 2 years contract.
Using Google Translate:
Siena, according to Malik Hairston
The player signed a two-year
Mens Sana Basket announces that it has reached a two-year agreement with Malik Hairston, wing twenty-three of 198 cm per 100 kg. The U.S. player, released in 2008 by the University of Oregon was chosen with the number 48 in NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, and transferred to the San Antonio Spurs.
In the 2008/2009 season has worn the jersey before the Spurs, playing 13 games before being assigned to the Austin Toros (D-League) where in 32 races was the third best scorer of the league with 23.7 ppg.
Last season he collected 38 caps in San Antonio (season high 16 points against Golden State), punctuated by a brief stint in the D-League Austin Toros, where he traveled in 15 games averaging 29.1 ppg with 4.7 rpg and 3 assists.
Young player, and full of great talent, Malik Hairston come to Siena to join the new round of Montepaschi.
Looks like a done deal.
Spurs roster now down to 13.
PG - Parker/Hill/Temple
SG - Ginobili/Anderson/Neal
SF - RJ/Gee
PF - Duncan/Bonner/Blair
C - Splitter/McDyess
That's one too many, Gee likely heading to Toros. Spurs light on the SF position.
Not totally unexpected. I wish him all the luck in the world, he just probably isn't going to make it in the NBA. Hope he can catch a ticket back to the NBA with some hard work.
Roster space for Gist!
Seems like Spurs D-league Toros experiment is coming out with Duds:
Mahinmi and now Hairston.
Verdict still out on Temple and Gee.
My hunch is Temple is still in and Gee will work his game back in the D-leagues.
Wonder why there aren't a bunch of playoff teams after him,after all he's equally as good as RJ. Seriously - read it in the internets!
If only he could shoot.
Good move imho, Hairston isn't really wing. SG position crowded with Manu, Hill, Anderson and Gee. No reason to keep him. I'd preferred the Spurs got something in return like a 2nd rounder or a project SF.
Will be interesting on whom they'll use the rest of the MLE.
It's not a rumour.
It's on the club's official website.
He's gone!

http://www.euroleague.net/euroleaguenews/transactions/2010-11-signings/i/74258/4465/montepaschi-signs-malik-hairston
Italian League champion Montepaschi Siena kept completing its roster for the upcoming 2010-11 Turkish Airlines Euroleague Basketball season by inking small forward Malik Hairston to a two-year deal, the club confirmed Thursday. Hairston arrives from NBA powerhouse San Antonio, where he averaged 2.6 points in 38 NBA games last season. Last season, Hairston also played for Austin, averaging 29.1 points on 41.4% three-pointers and 4.7 rebounds in 15 D-League games before returning to the Spurs. He has played for Austin and San Antonio since finishing his college career at the University of Oregon (NCAA). Hairston helped Oregon to win the Pac-10 Tournament and reach the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2007. He has also been a member of the United States under-18 national team. Hairston is now ready to make his Euroleague debut in the 2010-11 season.
Jerrells?
Yeah, forgot about him. But based on his SL performance, he is good as gone.
Well this is surprising, to say the least. I like Malik and how well he has buckled down and done whatever the Spurs asked him to do. Hopefully, he will get a good paycheck and continue to improve.
really?
Yes for real. Are you in disbelief?
