Could San Antonio Spurs' guard, Tony Parker be looking for a job as a race car driver? Doubt it but check out the video of him posing for pictures in front of a race car in France at the Grand prix deValence.

San Antonio Spurs' guard, George Hill, was a guest on Australia's talk show, Thursday Night Live.

In the interview, he talks about getting better in the NBA, being an impact player for the Spurs, growing up in Indiana, thoughts on Eva Longoria, and more.

Also, one host keeps calling Hill "Georgie."

I sure hope Tiago Splitter has a real good excuse to be in a red skirt, red hood, and with yellow braided hair. That look is not going to intimidate the big men of the NBA should he make a decision to come to the San Antonio Spurs next season.

Perhaps he had one to many beers as seen on the barrel in front of him.

Bryan Davis from Texas A&M will be joining the San Antonio Spurs' 2010 Las Vegas Summer League.

Davis averaged 9.6 Points and led the Aggies with 8.1 Rebounds a game his senior season.

After being selected by the San Antonio Spurs, James Anderson reflected on beingselected by the Spurs and dropping late in the 2010 NBA Draft.

On the hamstring injury and falling to the 20th spot:

"I think it did (drop me) because I didn't get to show all the teams I was supposed to work out for my full potential," Anderson said. "They would see me limping around, and I think I kind of dropped down a little."

On being welcomed by the Spurs:

"Being with the Spurs, I couldn't think of a better fit."

"They welcomed me with open arms, and I wasn't even on the team yet," Anderson said. "I just know the kind of people that they have around them."

"Tears of joy just came rolling down my eyes (when I was picked)," Anderson said.

Spurs' G.M. R.C. Buford on Anderson:

"The last Big 12 Players of the Year have been Blake Griffin and Kevin Durant, so he's got big shoes to fill," Buford said, laughing. "We don't have those kind of expectations, but if he wants to go ahead and do that, it's fine with us."

One of the areas the Spurs needed to address is reliable shooting. Anderson averaged 45.7% from the field and 34.1% from the three-point line and averaged 22.3 points while at OSU. He should provide the team with much needed offense.

The 2010 Vegas Summer League is next month and the San Antonio Spurs will take part but which players will be on the squad? 

Well for one thing new Spur, James Anderson, may not make it due to a hamstring injury.

"Hamstrings are something you want to get healed," general manager R.C. Buford said. "We're not going to jeopardize a long-term injury at the expense of the lights of Las Vegas."

Spurs' forward, DeJuan Blair will be there despite news he was not going to make it to Vegas in order to partake in personalized workouts.

Also Malik Hairston, Alonzo Gee, Curtis Jerrells, Garrett Temple, James Gist, and 2010 second round pick Ryan Richards are likely to be there as well.

It's no secret, the San Antonio Spurs produce many quality front office personnel. From Sam Presti in Oklahoma City to former Portland Trailblazers' GM, Kevin Pritchard, having the "San Antonio Spurs" on a resume will open doors for you for other front office positions in the NBA.

This cycle continues today as current Spurs' GM, R.C. Buford, has already interviewed for the vacant Blazers' GM position after Pritchard was fired from the Trailblazers after last night's NBA Draft.

Hot on the news that GM Kevin Pritchard will be escorted out the door after tonight's draft comes word from Brian T. Smith of the Columbian that the Blazers have already interviewed Spurs GM R.C. Buford and Thunder GM Sam Presti for the job. With owner Paul Allen's deep pockets, Portland might make an offer one of those two can't refuse. (source sportsillustrated.cnn.com)

Buford has been a main cog in the Spurs machine when it comes to bringing in new players whether it be through the draft or free agency. He has been the architect for the Spurs which was able to capture four NBA titles.

Should Buford accept the job, this would be a loss which would rank right high just as any star player leaving the team.

UPDATE:

R.C. Buford set the record straight and said he is not interested in the Blazers G.M. position or did he interview with Portland:

Buford, whose official title is president of sports franchises for Spurs Sports and Entertainment, on Friday said he had not interviewed for the Portland job and had no plans to do so.

"It looks like you're stuck with me until (Spurs chairman) Peter (Holt) gets tired of me," Buford said.

Since the end of the San Antonio Spurs' 2009-2010 season, Tony Parker has been the subject of many trade rumors involving the San Antonio Spurs.  From the New York Knicks to the Indiana Pacers, it seems Parker could be on his way out of San Antonio if there is any truth to the rumors.

But what does Parker have to say about these rumors?

In an interview with Yahoo! Sports, here is what Parker had to say:

“Everybody keeps telling me, ‘Don’t go, don’t leave,’ ” Parker told Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday while preparing to play in Steve Nash’s charity soccer game. “I’m like, ‘It’s not in my hands.’ I don’t decide. I have one more year on my contract, so we’ll see what happens. Obviously because I have one year on my contract I will be in all the rumors. That’s normal.

“Hopefully, I will stay in San Antonio. If not, it’s a business.”

“I’m not nervous at all,” Parker said. “I’ve had great years in San Antonio, so we’ll see what happens. Whatever San Antonio does, I’ll understand. It’s a business.

“I wish I can stay in San Antonio, but it’s not in my hands.”

Should Parker not be a Spur next season, the point-guard duties will fall to Spurs' guard George Hill.  While he is an up-and-coming player, many Spurs fans feel he is not ready to replace an All-Star like Parker.

Personally, the Spurs should not trade Parker. What he brings to the team is crucial to its success. Familiarity with the players, the coaches, the respect he commands from opposing teams, and much more.

As the days leading up to the NBA Draft nears, one rumor surrounding the San Antonio Spurs was that the team was trying to trade up in the draft.  One rumor had them trading with the Indiana Pacers to receive their 10th pick.

Now there is a report the team is trying to trade out of the first round.

According to Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com, the Spurs have investigated trading out of the first round:

Teams who have investigated trading out of the first round to get away from guaranteed money: Miami, Chicago and San Antonio.

First, it makes sense they would look into making such a move due to their financial situation with being over the salary-cap.

Second, this just shows you no one has a clue what direction the Spurs will be going come draft day.
