After Rasual Butler worked out for the Spurs last month, this time with Gregg Popovich in attendance, he was urged to consider coming to training camp.
Popovich didn’t make any promises, though — “I don’t even promise (Tim Duncan) anything,” the longtime head coach joked. “If I did, he wouldn’t believe me” — but he did inform Butler he had a good shot to make the roster.
“He’s a seasoned pro in a sense that he knows himself, he knows what role he can play,” said Popovich.
