Tracy McGrady will sign with the San Antonio Spurs for the rest of the season, league sources tell Y! Sports.

May be a good fit for the Spurs... They have probably the best management of all the NBA, and Popovich is a fkn boss.
I noticed that they waived S.Jackson.

Can't play in the playoffs.

Are you talking about the Tmac Curse or talking about rules? By rules he can. He did not play on an NBA team this year.

Nope. He wasn't on a NBA roster by March 1st. He can't play in the playoffs.

He wasnt on a roster all season so he's eligible for the playoffs, if he had been on a team and was released after March 1st he wouldnt be able to play in the playoffs.

It doesnt make sense for the Spurs to just sign him for their last game and thats it. lol

Ah. Interesting. Seems like an odd rule. So pretty much Stephen Jackson is screwed? Wow, Spurs threw that guy in the trash can.

Can't play in the playoffs.

Why would the spurs sign him if he couldn't play in the playoffs?

Yes he can. The rule is different if you haven't been on an NBA roster all season. I think Dooling is like that with the Grizz right now too. Someone like S-Jax isn't allowed because of having been on the Spurs

Edit: Saw it was answered already, but yea S-Jax is pretty much screwed by the rule.

ALSO some weirdness:

Poor Stephen Jackson. Pretty crappy of the Spurs, but hey. Gotta do what you gotta do...

Apparently he started questioning Pop. That does not go over well in Spur land.
