LAS VEGAS — Ray McCallum Jr.’s night was going just about like anyone else’s last Wednesday. He was at his home in L.A. and then he received two phone calls. The first from Sacramento Kings interim general manager Mike Bratz telling him he’d been traded to the San Antonio Spurs. The second from Spurs general manager R.C. Buford welcoming him to the team.
“I was really excited and it (becoming a Spur) just felt like an honor,” McCallum said.
The trade, McCallum for the Spurs’ 2016 second round pick, fills a hole for the Spurs after Cory Joseph signed a four year, $30 million deal to return home to Toronto.
