    charlie ward has decided to sign with the spurs though its unoffical, it will most likely send jason hart or alex garcia to the ir list.

    They mentioned it on TNT last night

    Charlie Ward's stats

    PPG-8.7
    RPG-2.7
    APG-4.9

    Ranks #11 in the NBA in Three-Point Field-Goal Percentage(0.428) Ranks #14 in the NBA in Three-Point Field Goals Made(59.0)
    Ranks #4 in the NBA in Three-Point Field Goals Per 48 Minutes(3.42) Ranks #7 in the NBA in Assists Per 48 Minutes(9.9)
    Ranks #9 in the NBA in Steals Per 48 Minutes(2.73)

    Very good move for the Spurs to sign Ward as Parker's back-up.He is a very good outside shooter which S.A have really lacked this season.

    Ward, good shooter!?? no waaay. He's a career 41% shooter.

    But who knows, anyone can be a good shooter with TD kickin it out for open 3s. See Bruce Bowen.

    Since when 40% from three-point land bad? when you shoot that % from behind the arc it normally means you are a good shooter.

    Good pickup by the Spurs. Now they finally have some depth at point guard. I only wish Los Angeles Lakers had picked Ward up.

    If I'm not mistaken, Bowen had the highest 3 point percentage at 44%. That's great from behind the arc.

    At first, I thought Ward would've been a decent move, but not the best one, I'm thinking he's a much better addition than I initially thought. Unfortunately, looks like Hart will go bye-bye.

    Hart? Oh man, he's such a hard worker, at least more offense is added, Bowen and Duncan are great enough for defense and Willis helps with the boards as a backup. Hopefully this'll just add to the team's undeniable strength and dominance.

    Hart has been playing so well as of late. I think this move is not needed for the Spurs.

    Hart isn't going anywhere.Garcia is the guy has been put on the injuried list.Making this signing was needed.Spurs weakness has been said to be three-point shooting,Ward brings that to any team

    Wow, really good move for the Spurs. I thought Ward would sign with the Rockets. Now Parker will have a good PG to back him up.

    40 percent 3-point career shooter is good bowen was 44 percent last year and was considered the best in the league. You obviously have no background in basketball.
