Spurs get the pick only because trading a player for nothing isn't allowed in the CBA.
Spurs just do this trade to be nice with Jerrells and the Hornets.
A top 55 protected pick is still not bad considering your going to cut him. Having a small chance at a 2nd rounder is obviously better than no chance when you give up nothing.

Is it me, or is Portland the most outrageous franchise when it comes to dealing?
Did you hear the Chris Paul deal they proposed? The following:
Chris Paul to Portland
Devin Harris and Chris Humphries to New Orleans
Derrick Favors to Denver
Carmelo Anthony and Andre Miller to New Jersey
In other words, they get Chris Paul for Andre Miller. They overvalue their players. Apparently they think Denver would be happy trading Anthony for a rookie that has so far sucked in every preseason game and was disappointing in summer league play.
That team won't do anyone any favors. They won't even let Fernandez return to Spain.
well, gl to Jerrells.
Hopefully he may learn a lot from CP3.
So what it boils down to is the Spurs get the 2nd round pick in 2014 only if the LA Clippers finish with one of the four best records in the NBA in 2014 (LA clips draft in 56-60th position). Hey maybe Blake Griffin reaches his Tim Duncan like prime!
or i.e., as speculated, it's just a favor to Jerrells to get him to a team that could use him. I was wondering why they didn't just wait for the Spurs to obviously cut him. The pick, most likely will never happen. If it does, it's almost an undrafted free agent pick, since it's at the end of the draft.
I wish there was room on the roster for CJ. He looked like he was coming along nicely. These types of moves endear players to the Spurs. Hopefully it pays off somehow down the road.
So fans of second round picks need to root for the Clippers and Bobcats to become the dynasties of this decade.
I've been on the road and saw this thread. I'll admit, I guessed wrong on Jerrells being on the Spurs' roster to start the season...with the standard caveat of 'unless he doesn't mess up what he has built in training camp'. Now, Curtis is on the Hornets roster and he should have a chance to build on his skills. Hopefully, he can learn to make better passes.
The Spurs still need to find someone who can defend small, quick PGs when Tony is out. That guy isn't Garrett Temple and George Hill struggles there, too.
Oh, and by the way, I really like Garrett Temple and did not proclaim him off the roster. I'd rather see Gary Neal as the 3rd PG (not counting Manu) of the current guys on the roster. Garrett does fine as a 2-3, 14th or 15th slot. Maybe he'll stick with the team.

Pop on new NOLA PG Jerrells: "He’s an NBA guard. There’s no doubt about it, he's going to play someplace. I just hope it’s New Orleans."
Jerrells showed enough to be worth a pick, which says a lot. Sometimes it seems like a shame that you can't keep them all.
I hope that means that they see enough in Temple to keep him around. I really love the possibilities of having a guy with his height who can run the point - especially what it could do for us on the defensive end. I think that Temple and Hill on the floor at the same time could give people some trouble.
I hope Jerrells makes it in NO. I really hope we get a great second round pick out of it.
Top 55!!! That sucks horrible work for the FO. Keep Him and trade him for something!
I'm sure their phones were ringing off the hook for our 4th PG. Or, maybe not.
Why list Duncan as a PF when he'll play strictly C?
I've read articles about how he'll actually be a PF this season playing next to Splitter. They forgot one thing: he'll be playing next to Blair. Knowing how Pop operates, he'll probably rarely play Duncan and Splitter together (I wouldn't be surprised if Duncan plays less next to him than any of the other bigs), save for against a few teams and even when he does, Duncan will be the C. Because Splitter is more mobile at this point in their careers, he'll guard the PF's.
More like...
PF- Blair, McDyess, Bonner
SF- Jefferson, Simmons
C- Duncan, Splitter
SG- Ginobili, Anderson, Neal
PG- Parker, Hill, Temple
I suspect Green will get first crack at being the backup PG. Once he inevitably fails miserably, Jerrells will probably get a chance at some point.
The Hornets backup bigs and points are beyond awful. Despite Paul's greatness, that lack of depth in conjunction with the lack of a go-to wing player, will more than likely result in them not making the playoffs again.
The fact that Jerrells was beating out Temple for the spot is far from saying that Pop was going to keep Jerrells instead of Temple.
Bingo, was wondering if anyone was going to point that out or not.
Fail.

good to see he already got some playing time with the Hornets

Jerrells struggles in his New Orleans debut

Former Spurs point guard Curtis Jerrells wasted little time joining his new team, playing with the New Orleans Hornets only a few hours after his trade from San Antonio was announced.
It looked like Jerrells' jumper still had a touch of jet lag, as he missed two of his three field-goal attempts in his first game with the Hornets. The former Baylor standout was minus-10 in plus/minus, was limited to two points and had a turnover in eight minutes of action in the fourth quarter of the Hornets' 96-91 loss at Memphis.
New Orleans coach Monty Williams told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he played Jerrells immediately because he wanted to see how he would react to his new surroundings.
The Hornets' roster has 16 players after point guard Mustafa Shakur was cut before Jerrells was picked up.
According to the Times-Picayune, if the Jerrells makes the Hornets' regular-season roster and the Los Angeles Clippers finish among the top four teams in the league at the end of the season, the Hornets will send the Spurs a future second-round pick they obtained from the Clippers last season when they traded guard Bobby Brown.
So you're telling me there's a chance!
Portland traded Bayless to N.O. That is not a good sign for Jerrells.
Oh really? who did portland get?
