San Antonio Spurs NBA Cheerleader Girls

Two days before the 2009 NBA Draft, Spurs general manager R. C. Buford acted to address the team's age and health concerns by acquiring 29-year-old swingman Richard Jefferson from the Milwaukee Bucks. The Spurs sent 38-year-old Bruce Bowen, 36-year-old Kurt Thomas, and 34-year-old Fabricio Oberto to the Bucks, who swapped Oberto to the Detroit Pistons for Amir Johnson. The Spurs held three second-round picks in the 2009 draft. Their selection of Pittsburgh Panthers forward DeJuan Blair with the #37 pick was described as a "steal" by analysts; the Spurs later drafted two guards they had been targeting with the No. 37 pick, taking Miami Hurricanes shooting guard Jack McClinton and point/shooting guard Nando de Colo from France with the No. 51 and No. 53 picks, respectively. On July 10, 2009, the Spurs signed Detroit Pistons power forward Antonio McDyess to a three-year deal worth approximately $15 million in guaranteed money.
The Spurs struggled with injuries during the regular season, but managed another 50-win season and a rematch with the Dallas Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs. After falling to the Mavericks in Game 1, the Spurs went on to win the series in six games. The Spurs however, were swept out of the playoffs in the following round by the Phoenix Suns.

The Big Three however maintained a good healthy status for the '10 part of the season, and went on to obtain the league's best starting record of 25–4 by Christmas Eve. Also fueling the Spurs' re-emergence was a thoroughly revamped Richard Jefferson, whom Popovich personally coached over the summer to find his touch. English bigman Ryan Richards was another draftee of the Spurs, this one at No. 49, however two shoulder surgeries soon left him out of any immediate possibilities. A truly significant development however was the success of R.C. Buford in bringing the Brazilian 7-footer Tiago Splitter to San Antonio from Spain. Still, Splitter missed the preseason, and was injured during the 2010 FIBA World Championship in Turkey. Yet Popovich was able to ease him lightly into the roster as the season gradually progressed. Popovich proved successful in breathing younger life into the Spurs by these modifications, and the addition of Chris Quinn and Gary Neal, who especially proved to be a valuable asset for the early surge in the season.
