Spurs Ship Curtis Jerrells to New Orleans
By: Alex Kennedy Last Updated: 10/17/10 5:07 PM ET | 480 times read
The San Antonio Spurs have traded reserve point guard Curtis Jerrells to the New Orleans Hornets in exchange for a second-round pick, sources tell HOOPSWORLD.
Last season, Jerrells was called up from San Antonio's NBA Development League affiliate, the Austin Toros, but he didn't appear in any games for the Spurs. He has turned heads in San Antonio this season after playing well during training camp and preseason action. In five games, he has averaged 6.4 points and 2.2 assists in just over fifteen minutes per game.
The point guard will reunite with Dell Demps, who was general manager of the Toros for three seasons including Jerrells' stint with the team, in New Orleans. Jerrells will likely be the second-string point guard behind Chris Paul with Mustafa Shakur moving into a combo guard role.
Jerrells is on a flight to Memphis now and will join the Hornets tomorrow night when they take on the Grizzlies.

Huh. Is the second round pick protected?
it better not be for a stupid 2018 2nd round pick now
If it's unprotected, that's still a good trade.

strange move
wow i called this trade but i said to indiana and honestly didnt know he could be traded just thought it was a good idea damn thats crazy hopefully somethings going to come back our way
The fourth string point guard was traded. Preare for outrage it wasn't for more.
they should of done a jerrells and ariza swap tbh
Good move
Spurs couldn't keep both Temple and Jerrells because it would have created a logjam at the guard spots. IMO, Temple was the most interesting to keep. Getting a little something for Jerrells is better than just cutting him.
Now, we just have to wait to see the details on the pick Spurs get.
Good luck CJ
And one more thing, Hoopsworld beat McDonald and Monroe, unbelievable
Yeah, that's pretty amazing. We knew after last night's game that CJ's preseason had basically become an audition for other teams, so getting something for him is great.Good move

better than nothing I guess. Spurs always knew they were going with Temple and letting him re-unite with Demps is nice.
It took me a minute for this to sink in. Might have been Pop doing Dell a solid by bypassing the waiver wire. The Spurs might end up with nothing out of this.
Yeah, it's possible that it is a move just to be nice with Jerrells and Demps with Spurs getting back virtually nothing. We will see.
Anyway, it's great for Jerrells. Shakur and Strawberry sucked in the preseason with Hornets. Willie Green is a SG. Jerrells has a great opportunity to get 10mpg at the point every night behind Paul. Getting consistent playing time will be huge for him.
Given Paul's recent health, CJ has a chance to get even more than that.
Larry Brown pays Pop back for Butler.
Scola
Great move!!!
So I guess he wasn't beating out Temple.
Nice to see that a spinoff GM is willing to work with us, unlike Prick- . Hopefully, if this is a "solid", Demps will do us one in return at some point. I don't really care if the pick turns out to be nothing, since that is exactly what CJ cost us to begin with. If it turns out to be an actual pick, then we defied the old "something for nothing" saying.
He was when Temple showed absolutely no signs of life. Once Temple actually stepped on the floor with a pulse last night, he secured his job. It's not like Temple's lived up to any expectations from last season.So I guess he wasn't beating out Temple.
Fail. If he was beating Temple out, they're not trading him based on a one game reversal after three games going the other way. Temple's "jeopardy" was a collective "Fig Newton" of the imagination on the part of the Mosque of al Jerrell and nothing more.
Wonder if Dell Demps has something to do with this =p
I like this move.
It gives Jerrells an opportunity to play in the NBA instead of going back to the D-League. He looked ready for the NBA. Best of luck to him.
Why wouldn't they trade him after Temple finally showed up, especially if there's some value from CJ? It's not like a trade like this takes any time to do, and an inquiry could have been made at any time setting this up if things fell the right way. Temple only had an advantage because of his size, and it was looking like there was going to be no excuse for cutting Jerrells. Once Temple managed to spend some time not dribbling the ball off his foot, Pop could pull the trigger on the trade, and he basically did himself a favor by eliminating any second guessing from the fans because now he doesn't have to make a cut. That's a win/win situation for everyone.
I don't quite understand why you think people are worshipping Jerrells when they correctly point out that the kid was playing good basketball. I guess it gives you a fictional point to refute.
