RealGM Staff Report -
The San Antonio Spurs announced today that they have signed guard/forward Jeremy Richardson. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not disclosed.
The 6-7, 195-pound Richardson was signed by the Memphis Grizzlies on 12/20. He did not register a point in three games with Grizzlies and was waived on 1/7. Prior to joining the Grizzlies, Richardson was with the Fort Wayne Mad Antz in the NBA Development League. He was averaging a league-high 28.5 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.63 steals in 41.5 minutes in eight games. The 23-year-old spent the 2007 preseason with the Miami Heat before being cut on 10/29.
This is the guy that got waived in favor of Penny Hardaway, who would eventually get waived in favor of easily the worst "specialist" in league history. WOW! Why do I get the feeling that he'll turn into an awesome addition to the Spurs in the coming years?
