This article states that he is Boban insurance.
Manu straight trolling with that post.
This article states that he is Boban insurance.
Nothing pertinent to him coming back. It's a list of cool things. And he is starting to train, apparently. The trainer is from SA, but I doubt they're from the Spurs.
Ok thanks!
Indeed. He had career highs last season after sort of falling by the wayside for a few years. I'm just not sure that he makes sense for the team, though I imagine Boban making huge money somewhere else would be a great selling point to other guys they're trying to bring over.
First Lorbek and now Bourousis... if this was only 5 years ago...
I know nothing about him other than the Spurs tried to get him once before. The previous article claims he's the best center in Europe. If so, surely, that would make him even better than Boban?
I don't know much about him, but I have heard that. It doesn't look to be true, though. Bourousis doesn't have Boban's unbelievable size. I don't think he'd be near the terror Marjanovic is. He can shoot, though.
Bourousis is a significantly better player than Boban and Bertans are right now. He'd suffer from the same issues Boban does though - he's too slow on defense, can't guard the PnR and can't recover in time. Offensively though, he'd be a great weapon - he's a great low post scorer, can shoot 3s and is a very good passer.
Isnt bourosis old af now?
and we need el nono to translate that manu article
I would hope if the Spurs sign him that you're correct. But seven-footers with still aren't all that rare in the league. Nor are PnP bigs. Boban being 7-3 transcends the difficulty curb. I mean, Al Jefferson is a tremendously skilled big and would absolutely crush it in Europe, but he's borderline unplayable in the NBA nowadays.
He's 32 just like Lorbek.Isnt bourosis old af now?

Spot on scouting report. He played with Hanga and Bertans. Came off the bench and was very effective with his very valuable skillet. Personally I'd rather have him over Boban. I mean if your gonna have two slow for defenders coming off the bench why not have the one can shoot the three ball.
So basically Gasol.
Cheers guys. It's obvious with the ballooning of salaries this year that the Spurs' strategy is to mine foreign assets/players who are willing to break into the league at a reasonable price. It seems like a sound strategy, tbh. Not only do we have the rights to many foreign players, but we've cultivated an image as a good place to land for overseas players, so we are a first look for many who have their pick of teams. Winning a lot, of course, helps too.
We may be seeing the return of the Foreign Legion.

Lorbek and Bourousis. Holy crap. We really are doomed.
If Durant really wants to stay and maximize his chances at winning the le, he totally should drag things out with both the Warriors and Spurs. Force the Warriors to let Barnes go by waiting out the 3-day RFA window, have the Spurs trade Green for cap space, wait for the Thunder to dump Kanter and come to an agreement with Horford (something they would likely do whether Durant stays or goes), then re-sign for either 5 years or the 1+1 while his two biggest West rivals get weaker.
Not to mention that Durant only has to wait until 7/6, as the cap space is lost once the offer sheet is signed, not when it's matched. That said, I think there would be major repercussions if Durant purposefully pulled a Jordan, and I think he'd have to go that far to get the Spurs to trade the players they need to to make room for Durant.
So, does he play like a bigger Kevin Love?
B-b-but I thought everyone was spellbound by the Warriors and going small ball??
there's more speculation on this thread than there was on wall street right before the crash.
Knicks going after anyone and everyone.
