SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The San Antonio Spurs traded forward Eric Williams and a draft pick to the Charlotte Bobcats for forward-center Melvin Ely in an exchange of veteran backups.

The Spurs said Tuesday that the draft pick is a second-round selection in 2009.

The 6-foot-10 Ely has averaged 2.9 points and 1.6 rebounds in 24 games for Charlotte this season. Ely is in his fifth NBA season, including two seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.

So-so trade, for some reason I thought Ely had potential off the charts. However he hasnt been able to show much, I do like the draft pick and Williams is a solid bencher....

Bernie waited too long. We should have gotten atleast a late first last year and if not that, some value from a S&T this offseason. But instead we waited and let Ely fall behind Emeka and May and he lost all his value.

Eric Williams is garbage and is just going to collect splinters and the 2nd round pick we got is going to be a late one. I'm sure we could have gotten a better deal then this
