Spurs Rookie Josephs Training Camp Debut

Spurs Rookie Josephs Training Camp Debut

By:


As such, it should come as little surprise that, though not quite as extensively as the Holts, Gilberts, or Jordans of the league may have wanted, the new CBA is undoubtedly a victory for the owners, and for small market franchises like our San Antonio Spurs. So how, exactly, will this new agreement effect our ball club? Lets take a look. Spurs rookie Josephs training camp debut on hold - The first three days of Spurs training camp have been difficult for first-round draft pick Cory Joseph. Its not that Joseph, the point guard from the University of Texas, couldnt handle the rigors of camp because he wasnt in shape. Nor is he injured and unable to participate. The difficulty has been awaiting technical clearance from the government to join his new teammates on the practice court. In a normal NBA season Joseph, a Canadian, would have applied to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service for a U.S. work visa after the Spurs drafted him in June, with the expectation he would be signed to a contract during the summer. That expectation ended when the NBA locked out its players on July 1, meaning Joseph couldnt apply for the visa until the lockout was lifted.
Lakers "Pulled Out"; Rockets Left Wondering What If - The final domino finally fell. The Lakers, fed up with the NBA's demands which they couldn't meet, pulled out of the deal and will instead trade Lamar Odom to the Mavericks. With that, the Rockets pursuit of Pau Gasol appears to be dead. Again. ESPN's Marc Stein was the first to report it, and he bluntly said: Sources say Lakers have pulled out [of] three-team trade for Chris Paul. This emotional roller coaster for fans, players, and executives culminated in nothing, no star for Houston, no twin towers in the middle, just a heap of mediocrity and a leading scorer alienated by his front office. When a Rockets executive said on Thursday night that the veto of this deal set the Rockets back three years, he was not exaggerating. After it became abundantly clear that the Yao-McGrady era was not going to bear fruit, everything the Rockets did was building to this day. And the Rockets nearly rebuilt their squad to a contender in the Western Conference in spite of overwhelming adversity, only to reach this day where a heavy-handed Commissioner killed all chances.
But Oden, who was in Colorado having his knee examined on Thursday, opted to remain with the team that drafted him. Because of various injuries, the former Ohio State star has played in only 82 games over parts of two seasons, averaging 9.4 points and 7.3 rebounds. In addition to the two season-ending microfracture surgeries, Oden broke his left kneecap and sat out much of the 2009-10 season.
