Pop is not impressed. 

By now, you probably all know that Marcus Williams has been waived, leaving Malik Hairston as the only remaining competitor in the battle to receive the final spot on the Spurs roster.  We wish Marcus well in his future endeavors, but it's time to talk about Malik Hairston. So this isn't his first time being on the official roster, but how much do we really know about Mr. Unguaranteed?  Follow us below the fold to learn a little more.

Spurs Waive Dwayne Jones

One down, two to go.  The Spurs waived C Dwayne Jones today.  They have two more roster cuts to make before the season starts.

I'm a little curious about the timing on this.  He was with the Toros last year and I expected he would be with them again this year.  Cutting him two weeks before it is necessary makes me think he may have some interest in him by another team, maybe in Europe.

Spurs Media Day Notes, Thoughts, and Lessons

The Spurs were kind enough to invite me to their Media Day on Monday.   Three major points of interest from Monday.  One, I'm a dork.  I'm not the greatest at handling unfamiliar situations and figuring out what's going on, and Monday was no different.  Two, I interviewed my man George Hill.  No, I wasn't wearing my George Hill jersey, but I think it would have helped my confidence and thrown him off enough that he would let his guard down.  Three, I got a shooting lesson, of sorts, from Chip Engelland.   For the record, #3 was just about the coolest thing ever.

Get To Know Your New San Antonio Spurs #7: Keith Bogans

After months of making moves, the Spurs' roster is complete.  More than complete, actually - somebody's going to be gone by the end of training camp.  Why wasn't it complete before?  Because we didn't have this guy:

In a bizarre accident, three men and a basketball fell into a 10,000 gallon vat of toilet bowl cleaner near Orlando this week. However, Magic "star" Keith Bogans has generously signed his autograph on the ball as a gesture of good will.

Let's get to know him a little better, after the jump.

It’s the offseason. You are bored as hell.  Marcus Haislip, however, wants you to hear him out – that he’s not guilty. Guilty of what crime, you ask? Let’s investigate a bit after the jump.
