On March 29, Gee gave it all up to sign with the Spurs, agreeing to spend the remainder of the season on the inactive list. With one stroke of his pen, he went from NBA starter to wearing a suit on game nights. Why? "The Spurs were going to the playoffs," Gee said Wednesday from Las Vegas, where he scored 24 points in the Spurs' 89-84 summer-league win over Atlanta. "There's nothing like being with an organization when they're going to the playoffs. It's a whole other level, and I wanted to be a part of it." The Spurs won a mini bidding war with Washington for Gee's services, agreeing to guarantee a small sum for the 2010-11 season as well. And so, Gee sat behind the bench in his Sunday best for the final 20 games of the season, including playoff series against Dallas and Phoenix.
