    per Adrian Wojnarowski. I like the move if they add him. Nice complimentary piece off the bench who can shoot.

    Surprised Chicago doesn't want him back.

    Crowded backcourt. Gino green bellineli Neal but I'm guessing they're prepared for injuries

    Could very well mean that Gary Neal is gone.

    Gary Neal is a free agent.

    Shrewd signing by the Spurs considering it's only $3M a year. Not bad.

    I don't get why this guy is still in the league. A supposed "shooter" who doesn't shoot well and is a huge liability on defense. Was surprised Chicago signed him last season and now the Spurs are going after him with a MULTI-YEAR deal? Ridiculous. James Anderson could do what he does and more at a fraction of the price.

    That leaves the Spurs with about 2M left on their MLE.

    Not a bad pick up. He'll help space the floor with his shooting. $3M is a great deal for the Spurs.

    Not crowded at all. They'll just go with who ever is hot. Great pick up for them.

    For $3M a year!? That's a great deal for the Spurs. And please don't go there with James Anderson. That guy is hot garbage.

    I'd offer Gary Neal that same deal.

    I never really saw him play in NO, but seeing him last season as a Bull I think he played great. Made big shots and was always hustling on offense. I think in the right system his defense can be supplemented.
