Nazr to end up a Bull?

[Slinkyman]

Sun Times (www.suntimes.com/output/jackson/cst-spt-jax04.html)


Nazr Mohammed reportedly has turned down a four-year contract extension from the San Antonio Spurs and appears ready to leave the team via free agency. There's a strong possibility Mohammed, a 6-10 center, will end up with the Bulls.

[SPARKY]

Holt Cat saves more $. Fuck yeah.

[V-2]

Another player of this type is Nazr Mohammed, an unrestricted free agent from the San Antonio Spurs. Ferry played and worked for the Spurs before coming to the Cavs, and knows Mohammed well. It's a safe guess that Mohammed is a player the Cavs will consider if they end up moving Gooden.

[WalterBenitez]

It looks like Bulls need a big guy like NAZR, is there any rumour how much NAZR is asking?

I see Bulls is an undersized young team, so he'll probably be starter there.

[TDMVPDPOY]

nazr could end up gettin 7-8mill a year from the cows, but if he earns anything more than 10mill a season, jerome james here i come

sounds too much money for NAZR, in Bulls roster he won't be a contributor he'll ask for rebounds, guard big guys and finish those airballs that travel around.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This report isn't anything new.

Nazr Mohammed reportedly has turned down a four-year contract extension from the San Antonio Spurs


He was offered an extension? :rolleyes

[NASpurs]

Wasn't the extension offered the beginning of last season? How is this new?

[Texas_Ranger]

Goodbye Nazr

[1Parker1]

I could actually see Nazr fitting in quite well with the Bulls. :tu

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

He was offered an extension?

Again, this report isn't anything new. We offered him the extension last August. I hear man landed on the moon too.

[TDMVPDPOY]

penis extention doesnt count

[T Park]

Holt Cat saves more $. Fuck yeah.


link to how this saves them more money?

barf up a new line once in a while.

[SPARKY]

You're correct. Mohammed walking doesn't save any $. Silly me.

[picnroll]

Doubt Nazr has any interest in signing with the Spurs and with his stone hands and blown defensive assignments I won't miss him. MLE is way overpaying Nazr.

[polandprzem]

It's fucking over

[spurs=bling]

Bye Nazr.

[SPARKY]

Fuck man. The Spurs gave up Rose and two 1st rounders for a year's lease of Nazr Mohammed? Awesome fucking trade.

Maybe some of you will finally take Holt's dick out of your mouths.

[Bruno]

Dear Marcus, this trade was great. Stop being a Holt hater.

[SPARKY]

The trade was awesome because:

-they gave up a big made for "small ball" who had done well against Dallas in two prior playoff meetings.
-they gave up two 1st round picks.
-Mohammed is walking.
-Holt Cat has more money to spend on booze.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Wasn't the extension offered the beginning of last season? How is this new?
Took the words right outta my mouth.

[picnroll]

Spurs wouldn't be spending MLE this year if they still had Malik's contract hanging around there necks. Deal with it. Every owner save maybe Dolan and possibly Cuban is trying to stay or get under the luxury tax limit. Might as well bitch about every owner if you want to bitch about Holt.

[SPARKY]

How many owners would commit to increasing payroll if they had a shot at multiple titles?

Fuck man, they gave up a player they needed plus two 1st round picks. You can't defend that.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

If Big Ben walks maybe Detroit will sign him.

[picnroll]

Check what Sarver is saying. He's saying basically no way he is going into luxury tax territory, and this is a guy who has given up talent and definitely will be giving up talent in the future to avoid that tax. Of course if he can continue to find dumbshits like Atlanta he won't suffer for it.

[spurs=bling]

If Big Ben walks maybe Detroit will sign him.

BEN>>>>>Nazr

[picnroll]

Nazr to Detroit? There goes your D.

[SPARKY]

Sarver? Posturing heading into the offseason.

[Bob Lanier]

Nazr has a jumpshot, sort of, and won't make Flip feel uncomfortable by actually knowing something about defense. Sign him up.

I'm not sure why the Bulls would want him unless they've found a taker for Chandler, but they do need size.

[picnroll]

Sarver? Posturing heading into the offseason.
Actually it's 07-08 that will kill Sarver. He'll be dealing with resigning Barbosa and Diaw. At the rate Diaw is going he'll command a max contract. You really think Sarver will carry Marion, Stoudamire, Nash and Diaw's mega-contracts and sizeable contracts for Barbosa and Bell as well?

[exstatic]

Nazr knows nothing about defense. Where did you read that, Bigfeet?

[SPARKY]

With Stoudemire how long does it take them to dispatch the Mavs? 5, maybe 4?

[picnroll]

Next couple of years East teams will feel they need to sign a banger or two to matchup against Shaq and the Heat. We've been through it in the West. Ben for all his defense palys Shaq horribly. Nazr and Rasho are both more effective against Shaq. Still you want Nazr, you're welcome.

he has a jumpshot in the last minute of a game when you're up by 30.

[SPARKY]

That's the player I want to give up my proven 6th man and two 1st rounders for.

Abdul-Jabbar is a proven all star, we should sign him.

??? I think Shaq hung 40 or 50 on Nazr his last meeting with him as a Knick. Nazr isn't a Shaq stopper or even a Shaq slower downer. Think: wet paper bag, as in Shaq will go thru him like a...

Keep in mind that my reference point is Ben Wallace.

And the Bulls did a fine job against O'Neal with the "big men" they had. Particularly with O'Neal rapidly declining and soon to be completely finished, that isn't much of an issue. What they need is interior offense, that Nazr can't really provide.

[picnroll]

Interior offense? Scola foe Deng. Spur's throw in a S&T of Nazr as garnish.

[boutons_]

Just as long Nazr ends up a non-Spur.

[Bruno]

Keep in mind that my reference point is Ben Wallace.


Nazr is a better FT shooter but I'm not sure he has a better jumpshot

Ben jump shoot stats (regular season) :
Short (<17) :4/18
Medium (17 to <3 point line) : 3/16
Long (3 point shots) : 0/3

Nazr jump shoot stats (regular season) :
Short (<17) :16/53
Medium (17 to <3 point line) : 0/7
Long (3 point shots) : 0/0

How about Nazr's 5 fouls in 6 minutes in January?

As for Nazr, I think it will hurt his free agency that everyone assumes the Spurs do not want him back. For Pete's sake, he got beat out of his spot by Rasho Nesterovic twice this season. People keep thinking he will get a lot of money, but I predict a MLE contract.


Another player of this type is Nazr Mohammed, an unrestricted free agent from the San Antonio Spurs. Ferry played and worked for the Spurs before coming to the Cavs, and knows Mohammed well. It's a safe guess that Mohammed is a player the Cavs will consider if they end up moving Gooden.
Acron Beacon Journal.

Why- when they are paying Z out the wazoo?

And if the Spurs have grown weary of Nazr, why would Ferry want him?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That's the player I want to give up my proven 6th man and two 1st rounders for.

All Rose proved was that after he got the big contract his head got bigger and his hustle and rebounding got worse. Quit living in '99.

[ploto]

And the trade was about getting rid of his contract, and the Spurs were willing to give up 2 first round picks to do so.

[dknights411]

Fuck man. The Spurs gave up Rose and two 1st rounders for a year's lease of Nazr Mohammed? Awesome fucking trade.

Maybe some of you will finally take Holt's dick out of your mouths.

It paved the way for the 2005 title. Not that bad, huh?

[SPARKY]

It helped the Spurs sign Horry?

[SPARKY]

Yeah, Malik didn't help the Spurs win a championship after '99. He also didn't help them get past Dallas in the playoffs either.

[Knoxville Spur]

Spurs wouldn't be spending MLE this year if they still had Malik's contract hanging around there necks.

I thought we split the MLE on Finley and Oberto. Is there another MLE available?

[SPARKY]

I thought we split the MLE on Finley and Oberto. Is there another MLE available?

Yes. It's available unless you are under the cap.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

He also didn't help them get past Dallas in the playoffs either.

Right. The only thing that would have changed in our series with the Mavs this year was that six of the foul calls going on Horry, Finley, and Bowen for having the audacity to make physical contact with Dirk would have been on Rose instead.

[NCaliSpurs]

None of those guys can rebound like Rose can. He may get whistled out of the game more often than not, but he will also grab some boards while he is in the game.

Didn't Dirk have like a 25 rebound game against us? Sure, that has nothing to do with using guards to defend him.

[ChumpDumper]

How many owners would commit to increasing payroll if they had a shot at multiple titles?Surprisingly few, seeing as the last two dynasties were blown up by their owners for purely financial reasons.

[wildbill2u]

Did Malik become a star on the Knicks? I must have missed it.

[strangeweather]

Another player of this type is Nazr Mohammed, an unrestricted free agent from the San Antonio Spurs. Ferry played and worked for the Spurs before coming to the Cavs, and knows Mohammed well. It's a safe guess that Mohammed is a player the Cavs will consider if they end up moving Gooden.
Acron Beacon Journal.
If the bidding for Nazr goes above the midlevel, is there anyone Cleveland has that would be worth doing a sign and trade for?

[T Park]

id trade Mohammed for Gooden.

Gooden will rebound, and is young enough to grasp the defensive system.

[ducks]

Lets Nazr Rot With James

[Slinkyman]

id trade Mohammed for Gooden.

Gooden will rebound, and is young enough to grasp the defensive system.

that would be a steal for the spurs but would the cavs even make that trade? And why would they want Nazr when they have Z?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

If it took this long to figure out that Nazr turned down the extension to the Chicago Sun Times then it'll take until all-star weekend to figure out who the Bulls drafted.

[strangeweather]

No idea. There was just a report from the Akron paper earlier in the thread that they might be interested.

[Brutalis]

too late to trade him??

[exstatic]

Gooden's book of defense is without pages. Seriously. He makes Nazr look like DRob. There is a reason why he is heading for his 4th team after playing only 4 years in the 'L'.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I hate to say it but the Sparkus is in the right.

[Doug Collins]

Yeah, Malik didn't help the Spurs win a championship after '99. He also didn't help them get past Dallas in the playoffs either.

He also didnt help us win the title in ´05 so quit sucking his fuckin dick. I´m sure you were this pro-Malik when he was throwing balls out of bounds and dribbling them off his foot, all the while commanding a gigantic salary. Dallas beat us, we had our chances to win, and Malik wouldnt have changed shit. In retrospect, I would like to have those 1st round picks but I would trade them for that 2005 title any day. Quit being spoiled, the spurs wont win every year.

[SPARKY]

One play. Manu Ginobili made a play 1000 times worse.

Spurs fans got what they wanted and Malik Rose was traded. Then along came a series in which Rose would've clearly been important and the Spurs were dropped. Maybe you'll stop sucking the front office's dick and grow a pair.

No Malik, no picks, and after this summer, no Mohammed. Great trade.

No malik, no picks, no mohammed and no huge contract for a role player :tu

Malik would make 6.5 mil next year and our team payroll would be around 67.5 million, doubtful that the spurs would even use the MLE with a payroll that high.

[milkyway21]

id trade Mohammed for Gooden.

Gooden will rebound, and is young enough to grasp the defensive system.the Cavs acc to reports really like Andre Miller and Nuggets like Drew Gooden...hmmnn.

Find a new ownership group then.

[ducks]

even if it meant leaving sa?

[picnroll]

Find a new ownership group then.
SPARKY want to guess where the Spurs rank in total team payroll?

[maddnezz]

is ther any way the spurs can hire drob to mentor and train idi amin?.....get him going a little faster?
NOW THAT"S WHAT I"M TALKIN ABOUT, RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :fro

[Supergirl]

We all knew Nazr was gone, didn't we? He got benched for Rasho, and then both he and Rasho got benched in the playoffs. Rasho's value is his D, Nazr's value WAS his rebounding, but he stopped being able to provide that.

[SequSpur]

uh hello, last time I checked Malik Rose couldn't start for a WNBA team.

Malik Rose sucks. Period. Get over it. Malik wasn't going to do shit. The blame goes straight to Popovich. Quit being pussies and place the blame where it belongs.

Greg Popovich.

Malik Rose sucks. Enough already.......... got damn.............

[NCaliSpurs]

When Malik got burn, he was a damned good fit for this team.

From the mouth of Pop, moving him was financial.

Has Nazr given us anything better?

Wasn't he a perenial 6th man before he lost favor with Pop?

The Spurs could have used his rebounding and, gasp, toughness off the bench.
