Welcome back Oberto?

[maurolv]

From Ole: Oberto has admitted that's his time to retire has finally arrived. "I'm thinking about other things," said Oberto after saying no to Atenas. He would become a part of Gregg Popovich's staff in the Spurs.


He didn't give many details, but it's practically a fact that he'll be the new assistant in Popovich's staff...replacing Mike Budenholzer who recently became the new Atlanta coach. "I've been in touch with Buford...he told me the doors were open for me here. I was in San Antonio last month and we spoke. It's my home," he said. Tags



I translated the most important parts. The full article is here: http://www.ole.com.ar/basquet/vas-Pop_0_942505860.html

Far out

[TXstbobcat]

That's pretty cool news. I liked him as a spurs player.

[kaji157]

If this pans out i don´t be surprised if we use our late second to draft Argentina´s Backup PG Facundo Campazzo (the guy that hit carmelo in the semifinals with the so called "cheap shot")

If love to have Fab in the organization. If Tiago had his heart and will...

[BackHome]

Yeah always like Oberto he played hard and with heart hope he can come in and coach up Baynes real quick.

That's what I thought too...It'd be nice to see him helping Baynes.

[Horse]

I heard Ime was gonna take Budenholzers spot.

[ElNono]

He says in the article that's "an opportunity to start from the bottom", so I suspect he would just join the staff, kinda like Sean Marks did this season.

[And1Mak]

YES finally the Oberto has come back #TheReturn

[Bruno]

I guess he would start as a bigmen coach and, given how smart and experienced he was as a player, I guess he would be fine in that role.

[Gagnrath]

If love to have Fab in the organization. If Tiago had his heart and will...
I would not want that at all he missed a couple o seasons here and there with a heart defect.

I'd love to see tiago have his will and drive though.

[InRareForm]

Startingi center champion

:lol well played

[DesignatedT]

Love Fab. Would be awesome to see him as part of the staff.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

i think so too. He could do a lot of good with Splitter and Baynes I would think.

[And1Mak]

fire popabitch and bring in fabreezey. oberto will save us. #TheReturn

[Sean Cagney]

More like bring back PJ to run the offense....

[stéphane]

Pretty much what I thought.
I was always amazed during his run with us how he was able to maximize his talent by understanding the game.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

That's great news! He was great on the Spurs

[BackHome]

Well our first move in off season and I like it...:)

[ducks]

wow

[KaiRMD1]

Rightly so, if you want to work in the NBA off the court, the best place to start is in the Spurs organization. I believe having time spent with the spurs office will greatly increase any chance of getting a job anywhere in the NBA.

[Libri]

Considering that he has a high basketball IQ, Oberto would be a valuable asset to the Spurs staff.

[ElNono]

there's no news on this... he officially retired from basketball about 3 weeks ago, and there were no other news since then.

[TheGreatYacht]

there's no news on this... he officially retired from basketball about 3 weeks ago, and there were no other news since then.I bet you would love to have him on the Spurs as an assistant coach given that he's a fellow Argentinian like yourself.

[ElNono]

I bet you would love to have him on the Spurs as an assistant coach given that he's a fellow Argentinian like yourself.

Don't really care about Oberto, tbh

[Chomag]

I remember him having a very high Basketball IQ so I think he will make a very fine addition to the staff.

[dallasmaverickslose]

Tony Parker with Fabricio Oberto :tu

Tony Parker is apparently a huge nerd about The Avengers.

With Comic-Con just wrapping up in San Diego, pictures are now surfacing from Parker's Facebook account of a couple collectibles that every geek would give up his Magic The Gathering card collection to add to his collection.

Before the series against the Warriors started, Parker posted photos of himself and former Spur Fabricio Oberto on his Facebook page standing in front of Iron Man and The Hulk captioned, "Look who was at my house yesterday!!!! One of my fav teammate [of] all time!!!! Fabiooooooooo" :lol



So, is he coming or not? any news?

My guess, and it's just that, is that the hold up is Philly dilly dallying over hiring their new head coach, with Bret Brown STILL a candidate. If Bret goes to Philly, they'll likely hire Fab for the Spurs staff.

Looks like Vanterpool is the front-runner, but Brett Brown is a strong candidate there.

[ducks]

spurs should hire him any how
take some of manu pay and give it to him

Every candidate has been a front runner at one time or another. He's the flavor of the week.
