http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4785 Recent articles about Marcus Williams en-us Damn, this team is deep. After the nasty 4-6 start to the season, the Spurs have gone on a 3-game winning streak.  In the last game, we beat an exhausted, overworked Warriors team that was on a SEGABABA.  Big frickin' deal.  The only "good" team we beat during our little win streak was Milwaukee, and that's a very liberal usage of the word "good".  Tonight, the task gets a bit tougher - beat an angry Rockets team in their arena.   Did...

And since preseason is now officially over, we might stick to a format for more than a week. Feedback is always appreciated, so drop us a comment after the jump. Here we'll provide information, links and summaries for all the games the Spurs played during the week, so that no one has to miss Pop sneering at a reporter. This week: Date Game Result  T...

The Spurs have announced that Marcus Williams has been waived.  Considering Malik Hairston's play and the fact Marcus didn't play in the last couple preseason games, this isn't a surprise. The two remaining decision are: 1)  Do they keep Hairston?  2)  Do they extend Ian?  We'll know the answer in the next couple days.  Hairston by end of day tomorrow and Ian by October 31st.

I'll start by saying that I believe the Spurs will fill 13 or 14 roster spots by the end of training camp, leaving the final one or two open in case another To...

The former first-round pick (#22 overall) clearly hasn't panned out, as he's averaging just 6.4 points and 3.0 assists and shooting 38.9% from the field in his brief career. That didn't stop Golden State from trading a future first round pick for him. From the NY Post blog.... " The trade will be announced later today. The pick is lottery protected for 2011, so the Nets get it if the Warriors are in the playoffs. If it goes ...

The rumored deal is that Denver will send Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby to the New Jersey for Richard Jefferson, Marcus Williams, and the soul of retired* Keith Van Horn. How does this all fit?
