Nesterovic wouldn't be a bad pickup for the LLE. That would provide a little experience in your frontcourt depth. Plus having a 7 footer who can make defensive rotations and lean on the bigger centers in the league is still a plus.

Oh and I used to pwn with him in NBA Live 04. The announcer in that game used to say Rod-oh-slav Nest-er-oh-vich! And Emmanuel Gin-oh-bee-lee!
I'll bet that we could persuade Toronto (if Rasho is signed there) to swap us to get Bonner back across the border. I'll bet the red rocket's ready to get back to his clean public transit system, being considered tan in comparison to the majority of the Toronto populace and, of course, french fries with gravy.
I would take Rasho for the LLE. The team still only has one guy over 6'10" - so i think the Spurs could use another big bodied 7 footer. He would be useful against nearly all of the main contenders like LA, Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, Portland and even Houston when Yao is back.
Obviously it would be better for the Vet min, but Toronto might give him more.
Yep. Signing Rasho is an underrated move, because while his play is only "solid," it it allows the Spurs to rest Duncan much more with even decent leads without having to play 6'7 Ball.Quote:

there is a chance i am wrong, but i am pretty sure the spurs already used the LLE on haslip
if they pick anyone up it has to be for the vet min
They actually signed Haislip for the Min., so they have the LLE still.Quote:

I would take either Rasho or Elson (both have rings) or a any of a few other cheap centers.
This is the point in the summer when the bargains start to appear and, sometimes in retrospect, where the key FA pickups are made.
I would love to sign Rasho, but only if we can use mcclinton as the 3rd PG. We can't go into the season with Parker and Hill only, when it's obvious Pop threw Hill at PG out the window already.

Another big man is needed, and former Raptors centre Rasho Nesterovic would be a good fit. But the Raptors will get stiff competition from European teams, who have offered the Slovenian big man between $2-million and $4-million.

No he has an ugly game and is soft. The spurs have a new team now and this guy will water it down.Quote:

Isn't Mahinmi 6-11"? Or did I dream that?Quote:

Ah ok, let some Euro team pay him too much.Quote:

The last 4 times that he has reached the playoffs, he has end up deep in the doghouse. He isn't worth more than the min for a contender like Spurs.
Rasho wouldn't be that bad at the deep end of the bunch for some very specific task but :
- Spurs don't have a roster spot for that kind of players.
- There are a lot of other big vets available to do that for the min.
Is there some legit reason everyone thinks the Spurs might get Camby or is that just some fans pipe dream?
Yep, Ian is 6'11. I sincerely hope he earns his place by playing like one!Quote:

Lets really look at this situation.
our bigs...
Timmy
Dice
Ian
Blair
Boner
1st off, were a deep team. Our bigs have some alot of learning to do together this year I believe. In essesnce, Blair and Ian are both rookies, who are still unproven in the NBA with Ian also having health issues. He could easily end up on the end of Pops bench, but lets hope not.
I feel great about Blair, but I think im asking alot of a rookie, so I am just hopeful pop gives him enough chances to make mistakes so he can learn our system.
As far as Gooden, I think Pop gave up on him in the play offs. Just not enought bb IQ for pops taste. I wish he would give him another chance, but who knows.
Marcas Camby?? where theres smoke....theres fire. Seems everyone keep bring him up and I keep reading how there is SOME trade in the works, but its all hear say. Would have to be some kind of sign and trade, but we would have to give up alot to make the room with the numbers. I love the idea...but its still just an idea.
Bonner may suck at D, but he still speads the D on the offencive end. He also useful versus certain teams with weak interior. not many but some. I kinda hope blair and Ian take all his minutes, but I think it will be a slow process and one of those 2 will take his minutes as the year goes on.
Nobody will say that Blair bonner or Ian can play versus big men like Tim or Dice can, so it might be nice to have another big like Rasho to help on bigs likes Shaq, Wallace,,etc.
If we can afford it. If Ian doesnt plan out, he most likly wont be along long anyways, making Rasho a good insuarance policy.
Great post, solid points all!Quote:

Also, you are correct in that Bonner is still a useful piece, so long as it isn't the starting Center.
Blair should be fine, as long as Pop is patient with rookie mistakes.
I hope Ian does very well and earns some time, but we'll see.
