Spurs kill the mood worse than a girl who smells like cigarettes.
Do not like.

Do you really mean that? Udoka is a six year NBA player with knowledge of the Spurs system. Green is...
I think it's a solid move.
no more minutes for gary neal
If Udoka breaks one of Kobe's legs, I'll applaud the signing..if not, then this is period..
Well then why such a delay in the signing? If Green was so horrible, why did they sign him at all, why didn't they just sign Udoka to start with?
There goes our season.
I am definitely skeptical. Skeptical? Definitely.
If that is the case...
This has to be a rumor.
The Spurs have more sense than to bring back a washed up Udoka!
...
Damn.. Green must have really blew it...
He should mean it. Your comment is like me saying Finley is a 14+ year NBA veteran who also knows the Spurs system. Not sure how many people would welcome Finley back over a younger prospect.
Udoka was terrible on the kings last year.. Besides, hes probably gonna be here as a practice player, I doubt he sees the court much which is why some people think a younger player (like Green) might be better in terms of having a practice body and a evaluation project.
Horrible choice. Udoka isn't an NBA level player. He's a supposed defensive specialist who in actuality isn't good at defense. His knee injuries caught up to him a couple years ago and he's just way too slow now. He's tough and can rebound but his lack of mobility makes him a below average defender. Offensively, he's a bad shooter with bad shot selection.
I realize the Spurs could use a perimeter defender but Udoka is not the answer. He can't defend out on the perimeter against anyone with any kind of speed. He will hurt the team on offense because he's a ball-stopper.
Bad, bad fit. I'd rather have Bogans. I might rather have Michael Finley.
Gotta hope Pop keeps Udoka nailed to the bench but why sign him at all if he's not going to play? It's not like he's a prospect for the future.
At least it's not Finely.. But I don't expect Udoka to get that many minutes.. Till Anderson comes back..
Not that great & not that significant.
omg noooo....i would rather have danny green than udoka
Unless he hits some kind of career second wind, I don't see much difference between Udoka and Simmons at this point except Simmons is a better shooter.
Not a fan of this move.
James Anderson: I hope you are a quick healer.
WTF? So Bobby Simmons is worse than him？
I think they'll find he's about the same. I'm get a feeling it won't be a guaranteed deal.

The Spurs are close to announcing the signing of veteran free agent forward Ime Udoka, who played for the club in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
The Spurs on Tuesday waived second-year pro Danny Green after just one week with the team. Udoka’s signing will bring them back to the NBA’s 13-player minimum.
A hard-nosed defender capable of guarding both small forwards and power forwards, Udoka averaged 5.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in his first season with the Spurs and was a solid contributor in their Western Conference semifinals series victory over the Hornets. His playing time and averages dipped a bit in 2008-09, when he scored 4.3 points and grabbed 2.8 rebounds in 67 games.
It is expected Udoka will sign for the seven-year veteran minimum, $1.146 million.
Well...so much for a defensive minded 3. Perhaps he's just a stop gap until Anderson gets healthy.
Rather bring Bowen back.
