I kind of agree with this. The Hornets need a back up. The Spurs weren't going to keep Temple and Jerrells. Why not just wait until the Spurs cut him and then pick him up for free? The only problem would be if the Spurs tried to ship Jerrells to one of their Euro teams as a way of keeping other NBA teams from touching him.
Capt. Obvious McDonald to the rescue!
I lol'd
FWIW, the Hornets have officially announced the trade, though no mention of specficially what the Spurs are receiving in return.

The New Orleans Hornets announced today that they have acquired guard Curtis Jerrells from the San Antonio Spurs.
Jerrells (6-1, 195), was undrafted in the 2009 NBA Draft out of Baylor University. In five preseason games this season for the Spurs, Jerrells has averaged 6.4 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 15.8 minutes.
The Austin native appeared in five preseason games with the Spurs during the 2009-10 season, averaging 3.6 points and 1.8 assists in 14.8 minutes before being released. He appeared in 50 games (all starts) for the Austin Toros of the NBA D-League last season, averaging 20.7 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.9 steals in 40.2 minutes. He was named to the All-NBA D-League Third Team and was selected as the D-League Performer of the Week twice. In six playoff games for Austin, Jerrells averaged 27.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists. He was signed by the Spurs on March 24, but did not see any action during the regular season or the playoffs.
Jerrells played four seasons at Baylor, becoming the first player in school history to lead the team in scoring, assists and minutes played in each of his four seasons. He appeared in 119 career games (all starts), averaging 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists for the Bears. He was named to All-Big 12 teams in each of his four seasons and is the only player in Baylor history to have more than 1,000 points, 400 assists and 400 steals.
The other problem would be the nine or so NBA teams that could have picked up Jerrells off waivers before the Hornets.
Add simmons and that will be it.

Mike Monroe had the scoop this morning about the trade of Curtis Jerrells to New Orleans for a future second-round draft pick.

I guess it's something like a top55 protected pick. Basically Spurs are trading Jerrells for nothing.The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have traded Curtis Jerrells to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for a conditional second round draft pick.
It's still a good move. I think it's important for a team like Spurs to show they care about its players. While low-balling Anderson on his rookie contract for few $10K sucks, this move is good for Spurs image among players/agents. Even if a player isn't good enough to make the roster, Spurs won't let him down and will try to find him a good place whether in Europe (Hairston) or elsewhere in NBA (Jerrells).
I don't understand this move. Could the Spurs front office see a possible replacement for Parker falling to the conditional second round next year?
No. If the conditions of the pick aren't easily met, it's just giving Dell what he wants and CJ a shot at making an NBA team. The only thing in it for the Spurs would be goodwill.
Funny how that goodwill is rarely reciprocated by other teams, moreso with many of the prime culprits actually having Spurs ties.
Examples?
What are the conditions of the pick? Are these publically released?
Wow, you turn everything into a fight, dontcha?
No, I just couldn't think of any examples of the other teams right now.
Pritchard came immediately to mind when I read that, though maybe I'm just viewing situations through Spurs homer glasses.
Pop seems to go out of his way to do the right thing by people. I don't think he's ever screwed someone over to improve the team. People shouldn't do the right thing with the intent of getting something back, but it seems like he should get a little good karma at some point. Maybe I just can't think of any examples of that offhand.
Well Pritchard turned out to be a megalomaniacal , and the only perceived slight I can think from him is targeting the same draft picks.
This is Curtis Jerrells we're talking about after all. There was probably some demand for him. Just not enough to guarantee a second rounder.
Well, I hope this just doesn't turn into another Scola fiasco.
I wish your name was wontmakedumbposts.
Why, so he can lie to you?

The pick Spurs get is a Clippers 2014 top55 protected second round pick. Hornets got that pick last January when they traded Bobby Brown to LA.
