    Report: Spurs James Anderson requests trade
    Kurt Helin

    Feb 21, 2012, 8:59 AM EST

    James Anderson is not getting a lot of run from Gregg Popovich in San Antonio right now, he has pretty much slipped to the back of the rotation. Monday night he played 7:35 and had five points for the Spurs.

    So the guard wants out, reports Buck Harvey, columnist with the Express-News on twitter.

    Sources say James Anderson’s agent this month encouraged Spurs to trade his client. Nothing offered would have been better than JA Monday.

    Anderson, a second year player out of Oklahoma State, is averaging 4 points per game this year in his limited minutes. With the Spurs on an 11 game win streak, don’t expect Popovich to be making a lot of rotation changes.

    Not a major deal, but if he wants out the Spurs likely will try to accommodate that. However, as these are the Spurs it has to be a deal they like, so it may not be fast.

    Second year players need to shut up and earn their minutes.

    Could be a blessing in disguise if it means forcing the FO's hands to move him (along with other pieces) for a big with upside. Honestly, a change in scenery is probably the best thing for Anderson. He has lost Pop's trust and I don't see him cracking the rotation for big minutes anytime soon, especially once Manu returns.

    I can't really blame him and anyone in his position would be stupid not to request a trade. He wants more playing time so he can show what he can do in a contract year.

    Eh. That's not exactly a trade request. Most young players in the league who aren't playing have agents who are "encouraging" a trade. Nothing too special about this situation. Money-wise, it makes no sense for JA to stay with the Spurs.

    Honestly, I still think the Spurs should have picked up that option. He's been good enough in his most recent stints to warrant a closer look.

    I don't think the Spurs should just give him away or salary dump him somewhere. Either get a halfway decent second round pick for him or keep him around in case cir stances change enough to where bringing him back makes sense.

    His salary is just 1,463,520, maybe worth a 2nd round pick

    A mid to early second round pick would be nice. Just make sure you trade him out east.
    I really think JA will have a very good career if he can stay healthy and get some playing time.

    Although a minor issue overall the Spurs probably dropped the ball on this one. It really should have been a no brainer to pick up the option & if the Spurs trade him it will likely be for a pittance. They should hold onto him if he's not extremely unhappy as his value right now is much higher to the Spurs than a 2nd rounder based on his production in limited minutes.

    He's in a tough situation where he's going to need minutes to improve and get into a rhythm, but as of right now he's not really better than the players in front of him in the rotation so he's going to have a hard time getting those minutes. His injury last season really messed things up for him.

    I don't blame him at all. The guy is fighting for next year's paycheck. Unlike Stars like Tim and Tony, money is never a given for other players, even though each and every single NBA player is making tons of money compared to us. Heck, even stars fight for more money during the negotiations.

    The question is still, did the Spurs do the right thing not picking up his option? I'm not arguing for JA's sake, just for the Spurs' business interest, was it a good decision?

    I remember when Roger Mason Jr requested a trade... that was kind of funny.

    Try playing better. He was getting rotation minutes at the first of the season but proceeded to go 4-19 from distance and he looked terrible on defense. He's been better in spot minutes as of late but it's hard to justify giving him minutes ahead of the rest of the pack that outplayed him earlier in the year.

    No one to blame but himself tbh.

    Is James really worse than RJ that he can't get any playing time at all? If he actually took advantage of his minutes that he got early in the year did he have more upside than Danny Green?

    Spurs should have picked up that option IMO.

    You can't blame him. The Spurs didn't pick up his option, and he's not getting any minutes to try and earn his next contract. That said, I really don't like it when guys do this publicly.

    Hey, James... how about a beer, eh?
