    Wow. This is a good trade. Williams wasn't doing much due to no playing time.

    The San Antonio Spurs have confirmed to News 4 WOAI they have traded Eric Williams and a second round pick in the 2009 draft for Melvin Ely of the Charlotte Bobcats.

    The move will give the Spurs about a $1 million worth of tax relief for this season, and a player they hope can contribute to a playoff run.

    The 6-foot-10 Ely is in his fifth year in the NBA, out of Fresno State. He has averaged 6.3 points and 3.6 rebounds since coming into the league.

    Link?

    Where'd you get that? No way in the Spurs get May in the deal and it doesn't work money-wise with Knight.

    Bobcats, Spurs finalizing Ely trade
    RICK BONNELL
    [email protected]

    Barring a last-minute snag with the league office, the Charlotte Bobcats' Melvin Ely is headed to the San Antonio Spurs, in return for Eric Williams, a 2009 second-round pick and cash compensation.

    The Bobcats and Spurs were in a conference call with league officials Tuesday afternoon to finalize the deal. Ely, a 6-9 power forward, requested a trade earlier this season in search of playing time. He's playing on a one-season, $3.3 million contract.

    Williams, 6-foot-8, can play either forward spot and is known primarily for his defense. However, he's played little for the Spurs, and his reputation declined in Toronto, where he moped after being traded from the New Jersey Nets.

    Williams is making about $4.3 million this season on a contract that expires in July. The Spurs probably will pay the Bobcats the difference in the two contracts. Since the Bobcats are well under the salary cap, they can absorb the additional salary.

    The Bobcats extended Ely the one-year qualifying offer with an eye to dealing him. They are loaded with big men, and he was playing behind Emeka Okafor, Sean May, Primoz Brezec and Jake Voskuhl most of this season.

    Ely has a gift for low-post scoring, but often fell short of coach Bernie Bickerstaff's expectations as a rebounder and defender.

    If the Spurs had to give up anything, the only thing better than a 2nd rounder in '09 would have been the rights to Sergei Karaulov.

    Ely is a physical player. He brings some grit with his game.

    Nice trade by the Spurs. Didn't give up much of anything. Ely is a big who almost averaged 10 points a game last year despite playing less than 24 minutes a contest. He can also block shots.

    It also gets them under the luxury tax threshold, so we won't see any panic trades right before the deadline. Peter Holt goes to sleep tonight an even richer man.

    Hopefully Ely plays well enough to earn minutes.

    Props.
