A bit of confusing news in the fallout of yesterday's flurry of extensions and non-extensions. According to Buck Harvey of the San Antonio Express-News, the San Antonio Spurs declined to pick up the third year option on James Anderson's contract.
Harvey writes the Spurs decided not to pick up Anderson's contract because of the emergence of Danny Green. He added that the Spurs spent all Wednesday (and many days before that) trying to decide if they should pick up the option. They feared that if they didn't pick up his option, he'd become the next Ian Mahimni, who has turned in to a decent big man for the Mavs. But Green's emergence and Gary Neal coming back from injury has buried Anderson on the bench, which Harvey noted has buried his trade value.

San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan pretty much shies away form the limelight. He isn't one to crave the cameras, walk the red carpets, or appear in rap videos. He prefers the quiet life and letting his stellar N.B.A. resume do all the talking. So when he does decide to step in front of the camera, and out of his private life, what better way to do it than in front of millions...
