Get to know the Spurs’ Brandon Paul
Can the Spurs once again turn an unknown player into something special? As is their custom, the Spurs didn’t make much noise this summer. After exploring some trade options for max players, they ultimately decided that keeping the core intact while fluffing up the edges was the most logical way to go. Free agents Patty Mills and Manu Ginobili returned (with Pau Gasol presumably close behind), while newcomers like Rudy Gay, Joffrey Lauvergne, and first round draft pick Derrick White joined the fray. Beside the return of San Antonio’s favorite Argentinean, the most notable event of...

For the Spurs, no free agent news is good news
This year’s off-season has reached the point where patient teams like San Anronio could mop up. With the addition of Rudy Gay, the Spurs' roster is rounding into shape. San Antonio will have 12 players under contract when Patty Mills and Pau Gasol ink their new deals.

Re-signing Patty Mills was the right move for the Spurs
The Spurs re-signed Patty Mills on Saturday. Here’s why it was so important. The San Antonio Spurs made a splash as soon as free agency opened at 12:01 AM on Saturday, re-signing backup point guard Patty Mills to a 4-year, $50 million deal. Many Spurs fans will defend the contract, as Mills has proved to be a vital part of the second unit, coming off the bench with Manu Ginobili to provide a scoring punch and continuity to the offense. Others will look at the peripheral numbers and wonder why the Spurs are paying so much for a backup point guard who averaged just 9.5 points per game last...
