Ouch . . .
He was going to be waived anyway and would have been lost for nothing. Since there actually was a trade, one could assume more than one team was interested.
Not with minimum salary players.Question, do salaries not have to match on a player making as little money as CJ?
Yeah, Jerrells was gone anyway . . . along with Cousin, Gee and Gist
Could he have not gone to Europe with the understanding that if he keeps developing, he would get an invite to the Spurs. They would not hold his rights, but it seems like many players like the Spurs and are more than willing to come back if given the opportunity.
Like I said, under the cir stances, it is not bad, but I liked the way CJ was progressing.
I am happy for him, but I am glad the Spurs chose Temple.

According to Alex Kennedy of Hoopsworld, the San Antonio Spurs have traded Curtis Jerrells to the New Orleans Hornets for a second round pick. This is a good trade for both teams, and one with a backstory.

duncan228 with the "Late Edition"!
at the "Hooray for the Toros" comment.
Nope. With Varner's take on the trade.
14 man roster. eh? I guess I have to adjust my "cut squad".
Are you a robot?
Good trade, even if it's for a conditional pick in 2019 (because we all know that draft is stacked with stretch fours in the later round!)
If nothing else we have a good relationship with a struggling team and who knows...maybe this will help us down the line somehow. Obviously, Demps was already a friend of Pop but this is still a positive development.
He would still have to be waived, then any NBA team could pick him up.
The Hornets needed a PG pretty damn bad.
Good trade.
Wow, this was a slick move. A good way to stack chips.
Could Gee be next?
So who will get the 13th spot? It's obviously Simmons.
Cousin and Gist are likely out to the Toros.
I would be very surprised if Gee is kept. He looks Toros bound already.
Good move.
All the Spurs will need is either a youngster with no ACLs or a Slovenian point guard to enter the draft.
Not really, because you contend in that thread that it was only two games, which means you agree that CJ was outplaying Temple. Again, the reality that Pop was going to keep Temple pretty much no matter what is understood by everyone, otherwise "Jerrells is beating Temple" wouldn't be a discussion-worthy topic.
Shut up.
Agree. Good trade.
Don't think Jerrells would ever be a good fit for the Spurs. I guess this seals the deal that the Spurs keep Temple.
So who is left to get cut?
PG - Parker, Hill, Temple
SG - Manu, Anderson, Neal
SF - RJ
PF - Duncan, Blair, Bonner
C - Splitter, McDyess
That's 12 right there. I think that's the Spurs final Roster.
ah yes. so Spurs get an exception permit to carry just 12.
????!!!!
Too bad. He can play. Hopefully, the Spurs will transform that second rounder into a productive player.
Very badly. Right now we have 6'2 Jordan wannabes trying to run the backup point. Hopefully CJ can take the spot right away and lead our 2nd unit which can be solid with Thornton, Peja, Pops, and Jason Smith.
I think it was a good move. CJ gets to play with CP3 and will probably see good minutes. Good for him. CJ working with Dell again will be a good thing. Second round draft pick for a guy to be cut, even better.
It appears that Pop's network of former Spurs staff is continuing to pay dividends...
