About Rasho the main reason why i think he should be traded is not because of his contract but because he will limit Oberto's chances to play.
However, i found him as a very good player so if he stays he can always contribute.
On the other hand we find Mohammed, a player who came in the last off-season and next season will be a free agent.
For sure if we keep him until the off-season we won't pay him as much as he will demand and it will be hard to find a good sign and trade for us as we will need to make salaries work.
So taking this into account, maybe Mohammed should be traded.
Currently the Spurs are in need of a SF and Chicago is looking for a great front court player and to free up cap space.
As the Bulls are under the cap a trade of Mohammed for Nocioni would work and we might also be able to persuade them of sending a 2nd round pick with Nocioni.
If Chicago do that trade they would win either way if they re-sign Mohammed or not as they will be able to look any option in the market with the huge cap space they will have.
And for us, well, we would cover the SF position, we would get Nocioni with 2 years remaining in his contract with 2,7 millons for this year and he could contribute great time.
Lets not forget that if we get him we would have probably the best 3 players of the Argentinian national team and the team chemistry would go up to the clouds.
If we do that trade we will need some front court player to get some minutes.
In that case i was thinking that we solve that in a sign and trade for Devin Brown.
I believe spurs wont pay much for him but that teams like Utah will.
Utah has some interesting frontcourt players in their rosters like Collins who is expiring and Humphries and they might be willing to offer Brown 3 millons in the first year.
If the deal is Brown for Collins and Humphries then we would cover all our frontcourt needs and if they ask for more we could add a 2nd round pick, maybe coming from Chicago.
I know Humphries has a lot of potential but so did Snyder and they traded him just to get rid of some cap so they might accept.

If we could do those 2 trades then we would still have the 2 trade exceptions, a better and younger team and most of the position problems solved.
