I guess the Euro teams didn't make much of an offer.
Nice signing! I've always liked Sean and he seems to be really popular among his teammates. I always see him upbeat and cheering when they show the bench.

I would expect the Spurs to bring in 1 or 2 more guys (swingmen). The new CBA stipulates that the league guarantees that, on a league-wide basis, teams will maintain an average roster size of 14 players over the course of the season. That includes NBADL players listed as Inactive. There is a maximum of 3 inactive players, or 15 total players on each NBA team's roster.
The Spurs may want to have someone like Melvin Sanders playing as one of it's IR NBADL players.
Damn, Spurs even nice enough to get Charlie another free ring
Aren't we pretty full up with centers? I don't understand this at all. Do we pay a guy a million dollars to be the team mascot that everybody loves?
Or is there someone who justs wants him around a la Jack Haley?
You like to go into training camp with 3-deep, if possible. Three full teams. The Spurs don't always keep 15, but they frequently keep it close to that.
This leaves a 2-guard and SF remaining...or if you keep 14, just one G-F.
We actually pay him about half that -- the league picks up the rest.Do we pay a guy a million dollars to be the team mascot that everybody loves?
He knows the system and is a great practice player.
It's a group of 6 bigs like last year.
That's what I was thinking. Supposedly Euro teams were going to offer him big money. I wonder if they did and he turned it down ... or whether those offers just never came.
I thought Marks did well last season when he got PT. You can't ask for more out of your 14th man.

Gives us another big who already knows the system. Already fits in with the team. The more guys you have the same, the easier it is for the new guys to transition in. This is awesome. Also gives us insurance in case of injuries or struggles.
Marks is BACK!!!!!! Lock your daughters up people cause the New zealand stallion is back!!!
oh yes this is some awesome news to wake up to after a hard night on the town, thank you san antonio we love ya, as dave chappelle dressed up as tiger woods would say, for shizle
Kind of like...everybody?
Supposedly Marks is one of the most liked guys on the Spurs roster.
Timmy loves the guy, so does Bruce...and I read that Manu has been reported as saying that Marks is one of his best friends on the team.
If you can recall one of the most memorable pictures from right after the Spurs clinched the championship, Marks was like the first guy Manu ran to, for a celebratory piggy back ride.
With a roster already as stacked as ours, you can afford to sacrifice one dead slot for a guy who is going to keep people happy and unify a locker room. We still have two spots left for developing players if we want to use them.
^ no no no you the man dex you the man!
Score. I like being 'the man'
That's cool, it can't hurt having likeable guys in the locker room. Sean impressed me in the Olympics, and whilst I know it's a different ball game, he has some nice attributes for a deep bench guy.
I was watching WOAI news at ten tonight and it looked as if Finley's Spurs jersey had the number 4 on it. I only caught a quick glance.
Does anyone know if I am right and if so, what Sean's new number will be?
Marks is Rasho's replacement when rasho gets traded? and I bet Raso gets traded by Christmas. We need his $ to keep Nazr. I really think Barry is a keeper, and won't be traded.
No word on Sean's new number. Clearly, another new marketing opportunity for Sean!

I knew it! Pop is a stinker!
Silly old bear!
All the signing pitch and phone calls left him exhaustedI knew it! Pop is a stinker!
Silly old bear!
First there was Schinzius.....then there was Copa.....then Haley......Menke Bateer (oh wait he didnt speak nor cheer, my bad!) now history has been made in the spurs franchise, the 7'0 Gene Wilder will get 2 rings, mind you possibly more, how awesome is that??
OMIGAWDDD! The Marks #4 jersey has become an instant rarity, worth lots of money to discerning sports trivia collectors.
No word on Sean's new number. Clearly, another new marketing opportunity for Sean!
Find the location of the next Antiques Roadshow ASAP.
