To make room for Erica.
Why is Malik Hairston suddenly on the front of AustinToros.com?
Cowbell night (afternoon)? Ugh. Bringing the earplugs.

It does save money if you keep signing and waiving insignificant D-League players to non-guaranteed deals rather than using more money to sign proven vets like Hayes or Hughes.
Oh dear God...
And Simmons?
One would think they would have jobs by now if they were that good. I doubt
I would give with either a guaranteed deal at this point.
Trey Gilder was just waived from his Euro team. Hmm.

...It’s not a surprise that Green was waived, as Gregg Popovich looks for the right fit at the shooting guard and small forward position. But whoever arrives will have a shot at playing time as No. 1 draft pick James Anderson recovers from foot surgery.

Sign me up Spurs! I'll take the bare minimum and not complain about playing time. I may play for , but I could do a good job at keeping Splitter company on the bench at least.
(edit) sorry, kind of a drag day for me.
If he cant make it in euro there is no point on getting him..... we should go after malik....
Depends on why they waived him. I mention him because the Spurs worked him out before training camp.
Again, no, it doesn't save money.
Hayes or a D-League player both cost about $5K per day against the tax.
Signing and waiving is even a little more expensive than keeping a player for the whole year because when a player is waived his team continue to pay him as long as he hasn't cleared waivers.
Pop going Steely Dan. Keep the core and then bring session musicians in and out as the need fits.
Here's the bottom line: If the spurs want to save money, they should have just left Green in that spot. There has to be a motive behind all of this!
So who's the next victim?
Thank you for clarifying, so it isn't solely a money saver as other posters have previously alleged.
There must be some method to the madness. They had to know that Green was, at most, a project that they were signing to fill out the roster. Could he really have been that much worse than expected?
You would also think that if they have a player in mind to sign from the D-League, they would have just done it, rather than signing Green. Same for anyone like Udoka. If they really wanted to sign someone like that, an extra 10 days wouldn't help the decision-making process that much.
I wonder if there is some 3-team deal out there, and they are just stalling until the details are hopefully worked out? Nah. Things that seem that logical are almost never correct.
I feel what you're saying. All I'm implying is that I have not see anything in Stack, that would indicate to me that he could fill that role. I know he's doing that in Miami now, but what is he actually contributing?
In fact, at the end of last season, Stack was celebrating his decision of taking half the year off, coming in around January to help a team. He later proclaimed that at that 1/2 season pace, he could probably play another couple of years.
To me, he looks like a guy an old, retired pro, playing at the YMCA, who's living off his rep. And I'm going off what I saw from him late last season.
Well that was fast...well while Pops at it...sign me up Pop! I'll play for free!
Hes also big enough to play some small ball 4, if needed.
jesus. Pop could wait at least one more week till our analysis about how a player will fit become history.
Two words: airball three
Stackhouse is playing for the Heat, no?
