http://www.nba.com/2010/news/03/13/spurs.moves/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2 Taking revenge for Scola stealing. Keep doing it Morey and all teams are out to screw Rockets. Congrats, Temple!
Umm stealing Scola is nothing like taking Temple. Temple is a decent 3rd option. They knew Lowry was coming back and there would not have been any time for Temple and not worth the extra $ for rest of year.
Why keep a guy who wasnt gonna see any playin time? wouldn't that make morey an ass if he kept someone juss so they could ride the pine. How about we trade kyle for garret? im sure the spurs would love that and you can then stop being afraid of them being out to get us.
I think its a nice fit given the Spurs injury problems. Temple is a defensive presence, unselfish and athletic. Should fit Pop's system quite well. Good for him. GO TEMPLE.
I really dont get this move hairston has been playing great lately espically his defense and is probably the best defender on the team,cedric jackson has done well backing up george hill and pop has a kid named Ian Mahinmi who is a big who can help out tim but pop has been selfish to play him all season becuase he is too athletic to be a center they say the only thing i can see of this is that the spurs may hold parker out till about the last week of the season and throw parker in a few games before the playoffs
Former Rocket Garret Temple is with Spurs the spurs have signed garret temple to a ten day contract after his ten day with sacramento expired...i guess everybody is wanting to follow in morey's footsteps
Good for temple, he is getting over $80 dollars every 10 days and showing his stuff along the way. He'll be fine.
over $80k dollars per 10 day contract. Nothing to complaint about, easily more than most of us make in a year, much less 10 days.
Wow, so is this his third or fourth 10-day contract? He's made between $240-$320K for playing a little over a month's worth of basketball. Not bad at all.
Wait wait. Each 10 day contract is worth $80K?! DAYAMN. So if a player goes 10-day contract to 10-day contract, he can potentially earn more than the rookie minimum? Temple is already at $320k while rookie minimum is $457,588. 2 more 10-days after this one and he exceeds it. There are 180 days in an NBA season. That is 18 10-day contracts, a player can earn $1,440,000 going from 10-day to 10-day (2 contracts per team meaning that player would play with 9 dif teams that season, tho earning that much he can afford hotel room to hotel room).

That means Von Wafer got paid $80k by the Mavs and he didn't even make an appearance in 1 game. Anyways, congrats Temple! Hope he sticks.
Well, 80k in the big scheme of an entire NBA roster is nothing of course. Still, kind of funny how many teams Temple has been on in the past month lol. And the Spurs might keep Temple for the year since Parker is gonna be out for so long.
these players from the d league are being treated like movable rentals so teams don't have to sign a permanent player.
