Spurs in yet another Championship Game tonight

2014 draft pick Anderson named NBASL MVP

The good news for the San Antonio Spurs continues to roll in as the Becky Hammond led Spurs Summer League team has advanced to the finals, scheduled for tonight, against the Phoenix Suns only on NBA TV.  Kyle Anderson, the Spurs 30th pick in the first round of the 2014 draft, led the Spurs team with 22 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 1.5 apg and 1.3 steals per game.  He becomes the first Spurs Summer League MVP.

The team made news from the start as Team President Gregg Popovich named former WNBA All Star and current Spurs Assistant Becky Hammon as the Spurs SL Head Coach, the first in NBA History.

“She has such a great opportunity in front of her,” said Hall of Fame player Nancy Lieberman. “And it’s fantastic. They couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Becky. We’ve been friends for years and I’m so proud of her.”

The Championship Game against the Suns  is scheduled for tonight and available on NBA TV with a 9 pm EST start.

Baynes takes Pistons offer

The San Antonio Spurs have lost their second power player in two days when Forward/Center Aaron Baynes agreed to a deal with the Detroit Pistons that could pay out as much as $20 million for three years with a player option in year two.

That the Spurs would allow another big man to leave the fold, they must be very confident that they will be able to land Portland PF LaMarcus Aldridge.   The Phoenix Suns have now also entered the fray, sending three players to clear cap space in order to land Aldridge.

“I’m really excited to have the opportunity to play with Detroit,” Baynes explained.   “I can’t wait to work with the great coaches and players already at the club. We are going to surprise some people.”
