Spurs make yet another move.

Via the AP. In a move that has some GM's around the league mystified, the Spurs today decided to sign Smithee Martinez, only to later waive him, re-sign him and re-waive him, to then sign him, trade him, get him back in a complex 10 player trade, then finally waive him. Smithee is a guard from DeVry University who had scored 1.5ppg and 0.7rebounds during his 5 years studying Web Design. The trade was initially announced today at 12am ET. By 5pm ET, all the various moves had finished and the Spurs were left exactly with the same roster. A GM who declined to be quoted by name said to the AP, " For most people this kind of move would seem a little crazy, schizophrenic even, but you gotta trust the Spurs FO, they always know what they're doing."

With Smithee Martinez being waived, the current Spurs roster stands at 64 players.

Thanks for the laugh. It does seem the spurs have that many players on their roster though.

I did my research and here conclude that this report is inaccurate.

It should be "Web Design and Development."

The media these days…I should’ve gotten the report from Fox News.

Is Smithee Martinez Argentine or has any Argentine roots?

Haha I like it. But that’s a weird link.

I had to link to something, it wouldn’t let me leave the space blank.

But why THAT?

For every key addition that the Spurs made ( McDyess and Jefferson,potentially Hairston, Ian Mahinmi and Haislip) it seems that the spurs made a non-impact signing (see:Keith Bogans, Theo Ratliff, Marcus Williams, Curtis Jerrell and Dwayne Jones)

A fitting and humorous satirical commentary !
