What a bummer for Malik.

well, he sucks.

well, he sucks.

He was injured, dumbass. He likely would have started for them.

Yea, without the injury he really is a great basketball player. I saw how good he was. So he pretty much sucks.
And he's not in San Antonio anymore so I relly don't give a about him.

ding, hope he gets well and gets resigned

[ceperez]

I guess that's the problem with European contracts...

you get injured...

you get waived.

no real security.

:-(

He wasn't injured while under contract with them, his injury happened while he was with the Spurs, which is why he was let go before Training Camp even started..the Euro team has no reason to keep him under contract if he isn't even healthy enough to practice, so it's not really "the problem with European contracts", it has little to do with it..

It was Hairston's choice to leave, not the Spurs. The kid wanted more opportunity and didn't see it happening with the way the draft went.

Not really.

I have a very close relationship with San Antonio. I clearly dream of returning to the NBA. They sent me to Europe to play a lot of minutes and gain experience. They told me about a staff in Siena that helps players grow.

“We valued Malik and had invested a lot in him, but this is an excellent opportunity for him and we were happy to honor his request.”
- Spurs general manager R.C. Buford, regarding releasing Malik Hairston from his contract so he could pursue a more lucrative opportunity overseas.

Maybe it was a combination of both perceived notions?..

Typical PR BS. Buford will never say "Due to a combination of Hairston not being that good and a back injury, we have convinced Malik to go to Europe".

On the other hand, Hairston has no reason to hide the truth.

- Spurs general manager R.C. Buford, regarding releasing Malik Hairston from his contract so he could pursue a more lucrative opportunity overseas, in a prepared statement written by someone in the Spurs' Public Relations Department.
