Corey Brewer, Brandon Rush are a few names that theoretically could be available.
The silver lining is that Hill will get more playing time thks to his versatility...
Anderson willl be bck in January eventualy won't hit the rookie wall and will have enough time to feel comfortable before the PO...
It's a bad news, but come on! we can do without him for 2 months!

At what price?
Who would you get rid of for any of them?
Pimping him? More like sick of Bogans and Mason. I don't see how picking one pile of over two smellier piles of is pimping anyone. I've had a long history of not wanting Pop to play him but OK.
For those who said the Spurs were fine at SF, what say you now? As I said all summer, rotation wise they'd be fine if Anderson could contribute right away, but depth-wise, they were never fine and sure enough it's already coming back to haunt them. Quite frankly, they got what they deserve. You don't go that thin at a position, especially when your have aspirations about playing a 100+ game season.
I suspect they will. But I doubt they give Gee a long leash and suspect they've already started looking for a replacement.
I am for a trade. Whether he's out for the season or not, he can't be counted on at this point. He's a rookie and therefore inherently an unestablished player to begin with. Who knows where he'll be at coming off this injury?
Short of a trade, Hayes makes the most sense.
I doubt it. Not instantaneously because of this injury, at least. Rotationally, not much changes. Ginobili may come out a minute sooner, Jefferson may stay in a minute longer, but all this means minutes wise is Hill will play more and Neal will be in the rotation full time. Defensively, obviously Ginobili and probably Hill, will have to defend SF's more.
Neal is not a small-ball 3; he's strictly a two.
Just as I had suspected, he's essentially done for the season. The way Pop babies players coming off injuries, how will he handle a rookie, who'll have missed a lot of time and potentially be coming back (if it is around All-Star break, as you suggest) around the time when a playoff rotation is in the midst of being established? Will he make time to, for almost a month, play him in 4-5 minute spurts and work him back in, waiting for him to get up to speed? I doubt it.
The position will probably be addressed by then and so long as that player is even adequate, he'll probably just stick with him.
The Spurs 1st probably isn't enough to get Brewer. It probably is for Rush, but with his constant off court issue, I doubt they'd take a chance on him.
Young, I think they could get, but don't see them being all that interested because he's an abysmal outside shooter.
They'll probably just end up signing Hayes.
Could someone ban this c*ntf*ce's ass? Sacrifice him for JA's speedy recovery..
A stress fx is not typically the result of a singular event. It typically develops over time and repeated stress. They're really common in runners that just keep pushing themselves even after it hurts... This is probably not from one bad step, but rather from repeatedly pushing through the pain.
Anderson was playing about 18 minutes and averaging about 7ppg...that's pretty substantial minutes backing-up RJ. Guess we'll find out against Philly who will fill his shoes.
Thank God Richard Jefferson is awesome
He has been playing "awesome."
this ing suck
Seeing as how this overlaps almost perfectly with Bonner's return, I look forward to watching Matty miss the crunch-time 3's that JA would have made.
Other rookies have to step up. This also means more shots for Hill and Splitter. I hope that Hill can continue to build on the Clippers game. He has been disappointing so far.
IMO this obviosly means more playing time for Bonner
I really hope not. I would rather sign an Anderson replacement to take his minutes or plug in someone else, but we need to maintain a consistent starting lineup and rotation. Moving Manu to the bench while Anderson is out, then back to the starting lineup if/when he's back, is not an attractive option. Pop has tinkered around with the rotation until February/March the last two seasons, I'd love to see it established much earlier this season.
Bad news, Anderson has great upside. The bench production will suffer. 2 months out, he also missed the pre-season, the Spurs won't be able to count much on him for the playoffs.
really sucks but spurs will do fine without james.....the bench is not going to suffer at all
8 weeks for a stress fracture?
No way.
The SA Dispatch twitter link at the top of the page says that he'll need surgery and 8 weeks is 'optimistic.' I wonder if the Spurs are desperately seeking a trade for a backup 3, or if they'll see what Gee can give them. Either way, Anderson might not see much (if any) time in the playoffs. I wonder if there's any way he can stay in near-game shape while he's healing (perhaps swimming/biking with it immobilized or something)?
Maybe you guys could take the Suns protocol in such dire matters:::look on the sunny side, portend it's a good thing & brazen it out.
Aside from that advice maybe it's like a harbinger of bad tidyings over your Neal dalliance. You know we paid dearly for our Kobe dalliance for a number of years after the fact before it started moving the other way.
I really would not count on Anderson to return until a minimum of 12 weeks, which would put his return around late feb. to early march. Even then I do not expect much from Anderson with his conditioning being very sub-par. I hate to say it, but I really think Anderson may be done for the season..
he can stay in physical shape but a game shape is a different thing
Not great news damnit
I would not even worry about game shape at this point cause Anderson will not even be able to stay in physical shape on one foot. Not going to happen, sorry...
Likewise. If I'm RC Buford, I'm proactive in working out players and looking at 2nd tier trade options to find a better fit at SF than Alonzo Gee. If Gee can show something at this point, it will be a glorious and unexpected blessing.
Yea you right
he probably gonna be sitting on a couch eating chips, burgers an pizza watching games.
