Look, I like Rasho's defense, and I concur with Pop when he commented that most people don't appreciate what he did for us on the boards and on D.Quote:
Rasho played a big part in the success of the regular season and we shouldn't forget that.
That said, Nazr has been with this team three months and is already better suited to the Spurs than Rasho at this point. With the experience that the rest of this post-season will bring him, coupled with a summer of working with the Spurs coaching staff I expect the gap to grow significantly between the two, particularly in Nazr's understanding of the Spurs defensive system.
Given that, Rasho will be seeing the court about as much as he is now, which won't justify his salary.
And like I've pointed out elsewhere, the Spurs need a long, athletic Bowen replacement at the SF and there's over 20 teams out there who would love to have a big man like Rasho.
The only conclusion for those willing to look at the big picture (particularly if Scola comes over), that all points to a trade.
It sucks for the Rasho lovers, but it's probably going to be reality if not this summer then as the trade deadline approaches next spring.
