wow ninja spurs
then they were never real fans in the first place......but wtf, pop and r.c. have always been overrated to me but now this summer just helps my argument even more. ah well, we'll still contend for the le. not like we are in huge trouble

Well at least he can get his shot off against tough compe ion.
I'm guessing it might just be the unguaranteed contract that everyone signs when they go to summer league. But this report is sounding like he is officially on the Spurs.
Anyway, I'm going to keep trying to verify it elsewhere.
Maybe hes a diamond in the rough! Who knows.
maybe after the summer leauge spurs thought he would command to much
I think I played against him at Trinity. He sucked.
Who the is this guy and WHY?
6'-8", 225 lbs.

maybe the Spurs mission this year is: get the 2007 1st over-all draft pick, meaning tank the season?
just kiddin'
who's next?
This guy put up decent stats in the Aussie basketball league ... which is perhaps the worst basketball league in the world (No offense, mates).
Looks like Oz is giving this guy a farewell speech so something must be up.
Got damn whatever happened to signing real NBA players?
command what? he should even be happy to sign for minimum if gets into the nba
highest paid player in nbl is probaly around aus$$150-300k which is about usa$230k a season. and im pretty sure his not earnin 250-300k on the nz breakers team.
did denver or new york match the offers?
SPURS ARE NOW IN THE TAX with him
something is brewing
Was this on the news? I only caught the last part of the sports report.
Like what?
No. I just found it online.
Nah it wasn't on the news...
Well I'm starting to believe it's true by his coaches comments and the cir stances. He was on the Magic's summer league team. He played the games on the 10th and the 11th, but didn't play in yesterday's game or today's game. That makes sense if he was about to sign with the Spurs, they wouldn't play him so that he wouldn't get hurt.
Plus Pop was at those games.
Odd.
I'll still verify.
Hopefully he's a restricted free agent for the NZ Breakers and they match this offer.

The plot thickens....
the thing i hate about aus media is they love to boasts and hop on the bandwagon when sum is brewing good, and when ur not doin good, they wont even bother publising it.

dude is lookin towards gettin back into nba if he gets any offers, dude was mvp last season and mvp in finals.
would spurs buy out williams if they can not trade him to avoid the tax?
I guess he impressed.
Maybe the Spurs are just fillng their NZ quota?
