I had a feeling that would happen. I just knew it. To me it makes good sense. With Barry and Manu out, why not. I expect to see a lot of him tonight since Manu is out and since we're facing the Sonics.
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed guard/forward DerMarr Johnson. Per team policy terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The former University of Cincinnati Bearcat was first signed by San Antonio on 12/29. He appeared in three games for Spurs where he averaged 4.0 points on .556 (5-9) shooting. Johnson was waived by the Spurs on 1/7.
The 27-year-old Johnson has spent the majority 2007-08 season with the Austin Toros, the Spurs affiliate in the NBA Development League. In 43 games with the Toros, Johnson averaged 17.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists while earning All-NBA D-League Honorable mention accolades.
San Antonio is the fourth team the 6-9 Johnson has played for in the NBA. He has also made stops in Atlanta, New York and Denver during his seven-year NBA career. He was originally selected by Atlanta in the first round of the 2000 NBA Draft, with the sixth overall pick. In his career he has appeared in 342 regular season NBA games, averaging 6.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 17.3 minutes.

is he playoff eligible?
He is a very good player, and arguably better than Barry at this point in his career...
A good move for the Spurs....I have season tickets to the Toros and DeMarr is probably their best player.....
A good addition, and YES he is playoff eligible.
DD
LOL...again, how many times are they going to sign this guy
I wonder if the Spurs would've taken Williams had he been available....
Just a thought.
I guess jones will get picked up by the nuggets again now?
With all the trouble they've had scoring, they need somebody else that can score the basketball. Good move.
....
They should have signed Earl Boydkins instead of Damon Stoudamire if they wanted help with scoring. That's all that guy looks to do is score.
Might as well. Not much else left to try.
What kind of name is DerMarr?
First time I come accross it . . .
Do you really have to ask?
He goes for 50 tonight book it!
not thrilled with this mostly because I think manu's injury could be worse then what people think
If it is, it doesn't matter who they sign because the Spurs wont last very long in the playoffs without Manu or the absence of any one of the big three.
Good sign.. is this just for the remainder of the season?
Legit question, and look at the people ing about the question. Haha.
My dad is a total racist, he claims their slang is so bad doctors don't know what they're saying so they just write it the best way the can.
He knows the system, has some NBA experience and is a good shooter.
Given Spurs needs, time constraint and available players, I think that he was the best choice for the playoffs.
I wished that Spurs sign a project like Sean Banks or Marcus Williams but given Barry's injury, signing a vet like DerMarr is maybe cleverer.
Yea I agree, it could also mean that Barry will not be back for PO. either way resorting to a d leauger 10 days before the playoffs is not a good sign.
LOL Dermarr Johnson?? lol
Desperate move by a desperate organization that is going nowhere this season.
Says the fan of the team that is getting eliminated in round 1.LOL Dermarr Johnson?? lol
Desperate move by a desperate organization that is going nowhere this season.
By Who? The Spurs?
Get real!!!
No Tim Donaghy to help the Spurs out this time!!!
Sweet!
I wasn't to excited about watching tonight's game because its the Sonics, but I want to see what DeMarr can offer. Plus I want to see which Spurs are going to step up in Manu's absence.
