Spurs pickup Robinson!!!
 

The spurs have announced that they waived dion glover & signed Glenn Robinson, he may play tonight vs. the Clippers. I know he's been out for a year with injury, but I haven't been able to find what the injury was. Even if hes only 70 percent of what he was that is still a great pickup.

Sucks for Dion, but yeah, Glenn Robinson is definitely a great pick-up for the Spurs. How much are they paying him?

They are paying him a "minimum-salary contract pro-rated for the remainder of the season". The Spurs, the most fiscally responsible team in the NBA, wouldn't have dont it otherwise. It is a privilege that he even has an opportunity to play for a title, after no other team picked him up off waivers. I like Robinson; he has been a 20-point scorer for his career. He is known for his sub par defense though; I wouldn't think he would be a good fit for Popovich. I doubt he will log serious minutes.

When I first saw this thread, I was like browr? Admiral coming out of retirement? Then it all became clear.

I don't think he'll be in the playoffs since he joined the team so late.

He did play against the Clippers last night, which I thought was unusual for Pop who held out Nazr for week after the Malik Rose trade. He did decent though, in 13 min he got 7 points & a block. Looking at the team, there is a good chance of him making the playoff roster ahead of Wilks, Marks, & Johnson.

Uncle Cliffy seemed to be the perfect veteran a little past his prime filling a role on a championship team kind of guy. Ron Harper is the best example. Then he spent the last few years on crummy teams or good teams got rid of him when they started to get better. Get ready for Spurs/Pistons final.

He did not look to good last night but then again not one Spur looked good last night.
