SPURS SIGN GUARD NICK VAN EXEL
SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Spurs today announced that the team has signed veteran guard Nick Van Exel. Per team policy the terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are very happy to have Nick as a part of our team,” said Head Coach Gregg Popovich. “His leadership and skills will be assets at both ends of the floor.”
The 6-1 Van Exel has appeared in 815 regular season games averaging 15.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 6.9 assists. For his career Van Exel has shot .405 from the field and .357 from behind the arc. His 1,473 three-point field goals made ranks him fifth all-time in the NBA and first among active players. Van Exel has also appeared in 64 postseason contests averaging 15.7 points and 5.1 assists in 35.3 minutes per game.
Selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the 37th pick in the 1993 NBA Draft, the Kenosha, Wisconsin native has also suited up for the Denver Nuggets, Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors and Portland Trail Blazers. The 1998 Western Conference All-Star averaged 11.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 53 contests for the Trail Blazers during the 2004-05 season.
Van Exel had a stellar college career at the University of Cincinnati where he averaged 18.3 points, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game in leading the Bearcats to the Elite Eight round of the NCAA tournament as a senior. The third team All-America selection was also a finalist for the John Wooden Award.

Wooooo. I wanted NVE and GiG told me it was a "Fantasy post. Wont happen"looks like he is the idiot.
You're just realizing that now?Wooooo. I wanted NVE and GiG told me it was a "fantasy post. Wont happen"
I just wanted to rub that in his face.
Awesome signing. Having a player unafraid to take and make big shots is huge for this team. Outside of Horry, I'm not sure the Spurs had that last season.
His stats don't look overly impressive, but coming off the bench will extend his career. Getting 10-15 minutes behind Parker will make him that much more deadly. He wasn't a quality starter in the league anymore but he'll be one of the league's best backups.
Nice.
I think it's a great addition to our team...Welcome to SA Nick!!
Spurs can use some of that.
The Suns countdown to championship number one is on year 37 and counting.
Good signing, good good good.
No more of those turnovers after turnovers when TP isnt in the game cause we dont have a freaking good enough ball handler apparently.
Hopefully this pushes Finley far away and we get Devin back.
Wow. NVE could be a great pickup if he is content with the role he is given.
The Shot World 'Round The World or whatever is now forgiven.
Great pickup, awesome backup point guard.
"black tweety" signed!
that make me laugh!
Yesssssssss!!!!
Someone tell me how this affects the offer to Finley...
the Pop brain washing starts NOW!
It doesn't.
Pop specifically said that NVE doesn't have anything to do with Finley either way. Pop thinks Finley will go to Phoenix, but if he comes to the Spurs, then the Spurs will not re-sign Devin.
We used our MLE? Or what?
Plus, I havent seen any links or anything about this NVE thing now that I think about it.
whooo hooo!
Spurs pull a fast one again... who thought this was going down this past weekend???
Dude, read the press release in the first post.
Oh and the Spurs probably signed him to the minimum or the LLE. The MLE wasn't used signing him.
Yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awsome signing! Our bench will be stronger!!!!!!!!!!
YEAHHHH
Great pickup. Nothing further to say.
