After the Malik Treatment, the Spurs can re-sign him for less than that this offseason.

I thought in the other newspaper Nazr denied that the Spurs offered anywhere close to that, saying that if they did he would have signed it.

I thought the Malik Treatment gets a player sent to another team.

If we're talking conspiracy, this would be an extreme instance of the Ginobili Treatment.

The Malik Treatment refers to a player getting sporadic playing time; including DNP-CDs after games in which said player performed well and extended playing time during struggles. The goal of the treatment is different from player to player.

One day others will see the light.

Malik sucked during his last years in SA, he turned into a black hole on offense, and he was undersized on defense.

Nazr sucked during his last year in SA, he turned into a black hole on offense, and he didn't rotate on defense.

Thanks for proving my point.

Nazr turned down a four-year extension prior to the season, believing he'd be able to get a six-year deal over the summer. But with his playing time having been cut drastically and with Nesterovic becoming a much steadier player, Mohammed's value has plummeted this season. He said it was untrue that he'd turned down a four-year extension worth $28 million, saying the Spurs offer was not that high. "Let me put it this way. If they'd have offered that, I would have taken it," he said.

So, $28M would have been awesome to him, but he turned down $25M according to this new article??

I'm not sure if they have their facts straight.

But I guess the bottomline is that they gave him a 4-year offer (who knows how much) and he turned it down because he wanted a 6-year deal. Good luck to him.

Yeah, I don't think the Spurs offered Nazr $25M. An expiring contract for a decent bigman has good trade value. Plus, the Spurs wouldn't lock up Mohammed with Rasho still on the books.

ducks

why would nazr want a low 6 year year deal
I would have thought he would want 4 years then get one more decent contract
in 4 years the mle might be 6 or 7 million a year

4 years for 25 million is better then 6 years for 28 million

There's also Oberto and around the corner, Scola.

then there is that buyout problem

People should carefull towards this newspaper. It says a lot of rumors and some of them seems to be false. It's the same thing that with Peter Vescey(New York Post) and Sam Smith(Chicago Tribune).

Nazr will likely receive full MLE offers this summer ($30-32M/5 years) just because he is a serviceable center.
I'm quite sure Nazr won't be a Spurs next season and maybe even after the trade deadline.

Yeah I know about the Ludden article. But he denied it after that came out when he was asked about it.

including DNP-CDs after games in which said player performed well and extended playing time during struggles.

he has been playing well lately and getting more PT.

So I guess that shoots down that black helicopter.

And what was the goal with Malik : Lower his trade value to have to give up 2 first round pick instead of one?

Knicks nmust be in on this Malik treatment conspiracy as well seeing as he's at rsk to go on IR from pine splinters in his ass.

And so the truth emerges. The Spurs were willing to extend Mohammed this past summer. They also sought to dump Rasho for Abdul-Wahad's partly guaranteed contract. As long as Rasho remained on the books, the Spurs couldn't give Mohammed what he wanted, instead opting for a lowball offer. No trade for Rasho materializes and the Spurs forget about extending Mohammed. They punt that issue to next summer. Maybe they can unload Rasho's contract at some point inbetween.

This season the Spurs dick around with Mohammed with the hopes that it will lower his price next summer. If he gets a fat offer, they waive goodbye and deal with the center position with Rasho, Oberto and foreign properties.

Nazr is good but he's not a "great one". We can do better.

Houston should give up Yao because they will never win (ring) again in his time.

None are.
Pryz is on the second year of a 2 years LLE deal.
Pachulia has signed a $16M/4 years deal with hawks this summer. (Bucks haven't matched it)

Some folks see conspiracies behind every move, especially of popular players. I've never been able to figure out why trades or cuts of unpopular players don't have the same reek of conspiracy to the conspiracy aficianados.

Other folks, like the adults in charge of the Spurs, simply see the business side of basketball as business and make decisions based on their best judgement.

His minutes have dwindled this season because of the improvement Rasho Nesterovic.

Rasho did pull down 5 offensive boards versus the TWolves the other night. Of course, he followed that up with 0 against the Jazz.

" ... The Spurs' Nazr Mohammed turned down a four-year extension in the $25 million range last summer because he wanted to wait until he was a free agent and could be eligible for a longer deal. Bad move. His minutes have dwindled this season because of the improvement Rasho Nesterovic. "I would by lying if I said I hadn't thought about it at all," Mohammed said.

Oh, he'll get that easily in the open market. That's Jerome James' money. A team like Seattle or Sacramento, Phoenix or even Dallas could get him for that. That's what the Pistons offered him in 2001 before he went back to the Hawks and the Pistons traded for Zelly Rebraca (who got the same deal).
