Anderson makes sense cause he knows the system. Pietrus asking for more than minimum makes me think that won't happen.

Hearing Spurs do have interest in Mickael Pietrus -- natural w/2 other Frenchmen on roster -- but Pietrus still seeks more than NBA minimum

Damn KD, you beat me too it.
I'd say why not go after Anderson, he knows the system well enough and im guessing he's the best bet out there right now.
I'm a huge Mikale Pietrus fan but not sure what he would be looking for.
By the way, who do you guys think will get the start for the upcoming game at the 3 spot? Danny Green?

http://hoopshype.com/rumors/tag/san_antonio_spursMarc Stein: Spurs currently $1,149,135 below NBA's luxury-tax line, enough to offer pro-rated minimum deal and stay under. Pietrus holding out for more.

We've got some winnable games on this road trip. I think the best thing to do without depleting our bench activity is to go with Green at the 3 and Neal at the 2.
Based on Pop calling out the team, I actually think Boston is a winnable game, although they're coming off an embarrassing loss too so who knows. If we can go 4-2 I'd consider it a success.

vsPacers
vsRaptors

Kawhi should hopefully be back for Memphis which is our game right after Miami. We definitely need someone then, because we're going to get killed on the boards, and that's just another area where Kawhi/Jack would help in addition to their defense.
And my thing with Pietrus is that would put us in a log-jam at the 3 spot. What happens what Jack/Kawhi are back? At least with Anderson they can probably send him back down to the d-league.

Yeah, that's what I also had in mind. Neal at the 2 and Green at the 3. Hopefully its not too long before the Spurs try and snatch someone up to fill that 3 spot.
So how would this work, if the Spurs sign Pietrus would it be for the remainder of the season/post season? And what about Anderson, what happens if he signs?

My guess is if we sign Pietrus hes here to stay in the french frat. and we see a trade before the deadline dealing a gaurd or 2, and one or 2 Splitter/Bonner/Blair, and maybe Sjax for a good big.
If its Anderson hes likely gone by the end of 2012 unless he impresses Originally Posted by Blitzbolt

Most likely.. I don't think Pietrus is an option, he wants more than we have. The guy with no team wants more money, go figure. Originally Posted by Mr.Nate30

And I'm hoping we don't have to move Jack. I know he's a nice trade chip, but the guy brings some much to this team.

James Anderson reportedly returning to Spurs
By J.R. Wilco
http://www.poundingtherock.com/2012/...urn--spurs-nbaFormer Big12 player of the year, James Anderson, looks to be coming back to the Alamo City in the wake of injuries to every legit SF on the Spurs.
James Anderson, (AKA: &erson, Ampersanderson, Crooked Pinkies, and The Ampersand) appears to be on his way back to San Antonio.
After injuries to Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson have decimated the Spurs' corps of small forwards, it was only natural to expect them to make a move today. Anderson tried to catch on with the Hawks during training camp, but was one of the last cuts before the beginning of the season, then to the Bakersfield Jam, and now with the Vipers in Rio Grande Valley, it would seem that James would be more than happy to revisit the scene of his greatest only NBA successes.Marc Stein
With Kawhi Leonard & Stephen Jackson ailing, Spurs in process of calling up Spurs alumnus James Anderson from D-League's Rio Grande Vipers.

Marc Stein reported that then said spurs were looking at Pietrus so that doesnt make much sense. Unless spurs got something planned to clear a roster spot

Aren't the Spurs two under right now? Unless they called him back up, Cory Joseph is in Austin. Originally Posted by Mr.Nate30

Or he'll get very few minutes, struggle like he has in the past, and go back to the D-league as soon as Kawhi can play again. Originally Posted by Sssmush
