The Spurs exercised its option to keep guard George Hill on the roster for the 2010-11 season on Wednesday.

Gregg Popovich said it was an easy decision to pick up the third year of Hill's rookie-scale contract at $1.13 million.

“Yeah, that's a no-brainer,” Popovich said. “If someone is your favorite player, you ought to extend him, whether he can play or not.”
