Williams must be close to being moved?
SPURS RECALL JAMES WHITE FROM AUSTIN TOROS
SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have recalled guard/forward James White from the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League for the second time this season.
Since being assigned to the Toros on December 16 White has appeared in 15 games (11 starts), averaging 16.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.67 steals in 34.4 minutes. He was recalled by the Spurs on December 26 and registered one did not play (coach's decision) and was on the inactive list for one game before being reassigned to the Toros on December 29.
In 27 games with the Spurs, White has yet to see any action, appearing on the inactive list 26 times and registering one did not play (coach's decision).
Selected with the 31st overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers, White was traded to the Pacers in a draft night deal that sent the draft rights to forward Alexander Johnson and two future second-round picks to Portland. In eight preseason games with Indiana, he averaged 3.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 17.5 minutes of action. He was waived by the Pacers on October 31 and signed by the Spurs on November 3.
An honorable mention All-Big East selection, White led the University of Cincinnati Bearcats in scoring (16.3) and free-throw percentage (.838) during the 2005-06 season.
White is expected to be with the team when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Williams must be close to being moved?
I was wondering what the deal was, cause I didn't see any injuries or anything. Did they just want an extra body for the road trip?
Great idea to take him along on the rodeo road trip. He can really feel like part of the team.
Isn't Bowen having back problems?
You're right.
That along with what Chump posted makes sense.
Interesting move.
Prob not muc to read into it though.
is this dude ever gonna get in a game or is he just gonna go back and forth from the team to the NBDL
Prob won't see any playing time till next year.
Its probably best they call him up now so that he's actually with the team if anything goes wrong.
Doesn't he get moved back and forth on almost a bi-weekly basis?
This is the second time he's been recalled -- so he can only be sent down one more time.
really, thats interesting? about only being able to be sent to the NBDL 3 times.
Is it 3 times per season or 3 times period?
Per season.
And what happens after that?
he merits a couple of mins after what Benos done in the first half of the season.
He's not a point guard.
Like many others, I didn't expect White to see any time this year. I didn't think he should either. Now with the way the team is struggling and if Bowen indeed has back issues, perhaps the time is right to at least start to slowly give him spot minutes in certain situations.
I don't see how people keep talking about a trade of Williams. The Spurs are not going to trade away his expiring contract (ruins the whole point of trading for him) and there would be no incentive for some other team to trade their expiring guy for him- how could he possibly help them out?
What the , see what hes got.
Id give him a shot vs Phoenix rather than Finley.
Although Im sure Pop won't do it for some odd reason.
If it's some combination of the right contract and the right player, they would trade Williams.
Could be....
Pop said something to the effect that "no trade would be made", but then stipulated that a "peripheral player" for a draft pick or another "peripheral player".
Bring on the trade
Then he stipulated no one out of the 6th, 7th, or 8th.
So pretty much not a starter, and not Elson, and anyone else is fair game...
a "peripheral" player....like Arroyo, Dooling, Atkins?
Arroyo on this team wouldn't work.
Atkins WOULD.
