Spurs release Dawson, sign Dentmon

by

Eric Dawson’s 82 seconds of garbage time for the San Antonio Spurs ended up being a going-away present. After knocking down three jumpers on three attempts in Friday night’s victory over the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs released Dawson from his 10-day contract Saturday and announced the signing of Justin Dentmon from the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League to a 10-day contract. A 6-0, 185-pound guard, Dentmon has appeared in 38 games with the Toros this season, averaging a team-best 22.9 points,

Boris Diaw

Versatile forward Boris Diaw signed with the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, going from the league’s worst team to one of its best. Diaw was in the final year of his contract when he was bought out by the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday. He joins the Spurs, who are second in the Western Conference and appear intent on chasing another championship. Earlier this month, the Bobcats sat down Diaw, 29, for four games as they made a commitment to their younger players.

Boris Diaw signs with Spurs

by

Boris Diaw is taking his talents to Texas. Diaw, who averaged 7.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in 37 games this season for the Charlotte Bobcats, the NBA’s worst team, signed with the San Antonio Spurs on Friday after clearing waivers. The nine-year veteran had his best season in 2005-06 when he averaged 13.3 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists for the Suns, and Tony Parker of the Spurs was lobbying for the signing of his teammate on the French national team.

Diaw, Bobcats agree to contract buyout; Spurs interested?

by

Boris Diaw is a free man — or at least he will be in two days. Diaw and the Charlotte Bobcats reached agreement Wednesday on a buyout of the remainder of his $9 million contract, and he was expected to be waived later today. It takes 48 hours to clear waivers, meaning Diaw could sign with a playoff contender as soon as Friday. Tony Parker is expected will lobby hard, according to Tim Griffin of the San Antonio Express-News, to add Diaw

Hubbard: Keep this quiet; Spurs can win the title

by

If there were rankings for the NBA’s overlooked and underestimated, the San Antonio Spurs would be No. 1. They are the contender people love to forget. That’s not to say they aren’t respected. Four titles since 1999 and the potent management duo of Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford translates to a substantial bottom line. But the last few years, it seems that when championship aspirants are rated, any mention of the Spurs is followed with “yeah, well …  but …  they

Post-China syndrome: Mills to Spurs, Chandler to Nuggets

by

I first caught a glimpse of Patty Mills in Shanghai four years ago, and it was a good thing I didn’t blink. The speedster was playing in an exhibition game for Australia against team USA, and twice he outraced Chris Paul downcourt for fast-break layups. That was back when Mills was still playing college ball at St. Mary’s in California, and Mills eventually made it to the NBA with the Portland Trail Blazers before signing in China with the Xinjiang Flying

NBA Trade deadline: The grades are in

by

Pencils down and papers forward, please. Here are my grades on how teams did at the trading deadline. We aren’t going to evaluate whether Dallas was helped or hindered by Thursday’s wheeling and dealing. The Mavericks – and 13 other teams – didn’t make a deal, so consider their grade to be incomplete. Or a withdrawal, if you prefer. No one got an F, although the Nets came awfully close. At the other end of the scale, the Rockets are officially the teacher’s

by

T.J. Ford

San Antonio Spurs guard T.J. Ford, who had an injury scare last week, is leaving basketball and may not return. The Spurs announced Monday that Ford, one of their backup point guards, is taking an indefinite leave of absence from basketball activities this season. He suffered a stinger in Wednesday’s home win over New York, when he was hit in the back by Knicks guard Baron Davis and accidentally kicked in the head by teammate Tiago Splitter. Ford remained on the floor
