The Spurs have signed 25-year old shooting guard Salim Stoudamire to a 1-year contract. He played in 35 games (0 starts) for the Hawks last season and he averaged 11.5 minutes, 5.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. It will be interesting to see how well Stoudamire fits in with the Spurs as he only shot 36.1% from the floor last season and he has the reputation as a somewhat selfish player with the ball in his hands. He has now played in 157 games (1 start) in his NBA career and he has averaged 17.0 minutes, 8.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game.

The Spurs have re-signed F/C Kurt Thomas. Thomas played in 70 games (48 starts) last season for the Spurs & Sonics last season and he averaged 22.6 minutes, 6.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. The Spurs think that Thomas has something left despite being 35 years old and I think they are right. Thomas has now played in 817 games (574 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 27.3 minutes, 9.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.

The Spurs have signed shooting guard Roger Mason to a 2-year, $7.5 million dollar contract. The 27-year old Mason is a player on the rise as he had the best year of his career last season. Mason played in 80 games (9 starts) for the Wizards last season and he averaged 21.4 minutes, 9.1 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. Mason has now played in 185 games (12 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 14.3 minutes, 5.5 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. Mason should do a good job off the bench for the Spurs next season.

The San Antonio Spurs have acquired F/C Kurt Thomas from the Seattle Supersonics for G Brent Barry, C Francisco Elson and a first round pick in 2009. Thomas gives the Spurs another big body to team up with Tim Duncan along the front line. Thomas played in 42 games (39 starts) for the Sonics this season and he was averaging 25.2 minutes, 7.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. He also shot 51.3% from the floor with the Sonics. Thomas has now played in 789 games (565 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 27.6 minutes, 9.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. This was a good move for the Spurs who needed some help in the frontcourt.

36-year old Brent Barry played in 29 games (1 start) this season for the Spurs and he averaged 7.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Barry is a good shooter from anywhere on the court as he shot 46.1% from the floor, 40.7% from three point range and 82.1% from the free throw line. Francisco Elson played in 41 games (3 starts) this season for the Spurs and he averaged 13.0 minutes, 3.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game.

The Spurs have signed free agent point guard Damon Stoudamire to a contract for the remainder of the season. Stoudamire played in 29 games (all starts) for the Grizzlies this season and he averaged 21.5 minutes, 7.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. He has now played in 847 games (789 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 33.9 minutes, 13.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Stoudamire might step right into the starting lineup until Tony Parker is ready to return from injury.
