although he would be a great fit. i dont see the spurs trading Oberto for him.
Oberto fits in well with the spurs and i cant see him leaving for anyone besides a Center.
Oberto ain't all that. A few years ago he was the bee's knees. Nowadays, nope!

ur right oberto aint all that,but if it aint broke dont fix it. he hasnt done anything wrong enough for us to trade him. hes smart and fits the role well.
sure we can get a whole lot better but they wont trade him for a SF. it would have to be a 4 or 5.

In addition to the annoying just of commas by the original poster, when you make threads like these, it's best to provide some reasonable insight and expectations on HOW you propose to get players.

??? The question should be could we afford him or can trade him? not do we need him or not coz its an upgrade to have him. I dont know if youre aware of Nocioni's scoring ability. His feet was slow,but his job normally is knocking down shots. He played abit D here and there as well. He will be excellent player off the bench, he also is Manu;s teammate and statistically speaking he's okay...its an upgrade to have him. Go review Bulls game previous seasons (not just last season) and then u know what Im talking about...

I dont think he is an upgrade over Udoka. A bit bigger and a better ball handler sure. But we need a guy who can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim, finish or draw fouls. I have not seen him do that. In fact, he looks out of his league in the NBA at times.
On a bad team he will put up OK numbers but on a contender, No way. Plus his D will IMO be an even bigger liablity against the glut of tweeners that dog us every yr.
Can you see him having to defend Melo, West, Odom, Dirk or Howard, Durrant or Green, Artest? I would like to see us get ARIZA from LA, they dont need him and will likely lose him to free agency next yr.

Re: We need NOCIONI Now !!!!
If we don't make another upgrade before this season, we will finish 5th or 6th in the improved West and probably get eliminated in the first round. Champions don't play on the road for the entire post-season! Celtics win nadda unless they play at home---agreed? WE need to be the 1 or 2 or 3 seed in the West to get to the finals. The current roster isn't enough to get us there. Argee or Disagree? Nocione would at least give us some Udoka attitude on the court. Hopefully the FO has another move in mind!

i disagree. i think it all hangs on the pargo signing to tell you the truth. he and mason could bring that youth and extra offense we need to get over the hump. not letting it all hang on the BIG 3.
when the offseason started i wasnt in panic mode like most spurs fans were about the roster. i knew a couple of tweeks here and there and well be good to go. also health has a major factor as well.
i agree that our chances with a great SG wing players would improve our chances greatly but it doesnt mean we are in bad shape right now.

actually, it wouldnt take that much. noc is due 8 mil next season, so for the spurs to swing a trade for him, they have to send out at least 6.32 mil in salary. bonner + oberto is enough salary wise. its sending out a package that has enough value to interest chicago thats the issue. they may be willing to move noc if it saves them enough cash, but they probably still would like something of value too.

Who knows.
We could have been half Spurs and half Argentina Olympic Gold Medal team. 4 ballers playing on the same pro team that have been playing together since childhood.
Instead we have Finley and Bonner. Damn.
