    Don't know if this has been mentioned but, from today's New York Daily News...

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SAN ANTONIO
    David Robinson has agreed to a new contract to stay with the Spurs, the player's agent told the San Antonio Express-News yesterday.

    Robinson's agent, Jeff Austin, told the newspaper that both sides were happy with the deal. Terms weren't immediately known. "David wanted to remain in San Antonio and they wanted to keep him," Austin said.

    Tom James, the Spurs' director of media services, said the team couldn't comment. No free-agent contracts can be signed before Wednesday.

    Austin didn't return a phone call left at his office by The Associated Press.

    On Tuesday at his vacation home in Hawaii, Robinson had questioned whether the Spurs wanted him. By Wednesday, team officials and Robinson's representatives were having serious talks.

    Robinson had rebuffed the Spurs' suggestion he take a pay cut anywhere from 50% to 80% of the $14.7 million he made last season. Spurs chairman Peter Holt had said such a move was needed to keep the team competitive.

    The Spurs have about $16 million available to re-sign Robinson and Derek Anderson, who wants a contract worth $7 million annually.

    Robinson has played all of his 12 NBA seasons with the Spurs, with career averages of 22.8 points and 11.1 rebounds a game. He is a 10-time All-Star and was the league's MVP in 1995.

    Last season, Robinson had career lows with 14.4 points and 8.6 rebounds a game.
