Haddadi, Udoh, Javtokas...
Yeah, this is why I said the rumor makes no sense. Outside of Camby, who seems like a longshot at the moment, there just isn't anyone "available" that's worth putting Lorbek on the shelf to negotiate with. Unless I'm missing something.
It might not mean anything. Posturing? Hard to say yet.
what about robin lopez. he fell out of favor last year with the suns and no way the suns want to pay him next year to be gortat's backup. they extended a qualifying offer and i'm not too sure how the logistics of a trade would work out. a sign and trade swap of lopez and lorbek might benefit both teams. suns get someone to play next to gortat and the spurs get a 7 footer can develop a solid all around game and is already a decent shotblocker. he's also mobile enough to play in the spurs' new system.
Solid. Was in 64 games this season, so he's sturdier than his twin.
I love how many macho sarcastic blowhards on this site are so enamored of laughy smiley emoticons. It's really cute.
Maybe we are waiting on a certain physical center to be amnestied.........
Which would be?
I'm assuming he meant Elton Brand.Quote:

Damn, I wish I could have known what Spurs is thinking now.
This article has raised a lot of speculation. Is Tiago being shopped? Is Lorbek coming? Will Diaw continue to be our starting 4? Rather than start a new thread, I'd like to ask everyone what they expect to see on 7/11. Will we have a pretty good idea of who is on our team? I'm sure there are scenarios, like Camby, being discussed or hammmered out as we speak.
I'm still thinking we basically stay the same, re-sign Tim and Green, possibly bring Lorbek and Nando over. We won't be trading anything involving Bonner or Blair to the Rockets.
Just wondering how much will be resolved on Wednesday.
He's already been amnestied and brand is a pf not a center.Quote:

Posted on RealGM and Project Spurs
Erazem Lorbek has been offered the most lucrative contract in Barcelona's history.
Lorbek is considering coming over to the Spurs to begin his NBA career.
The Spurs acquired the draft rights to Lorbek last June in a trade involving Kawhi Leonard for George Hill.
Lorbek averaged 12.2 points and 4.3 rebounds over 25.3 minutes per game for Barcelona last season.

In Barcelona's history?
Wow, nice for him. I guess it's goodbye NBA career that could've been.
It comes from Mundo Deportivo and is still a rumor. Not sure if it is just talk, but is quite possibly true.
However, this was posted in 2 other threads in Spurstalk.
He was never really considering the NBA as an option until his rights were traded to the Spurs. If the Spurs were willing to offer decent money and a role it might have been more likely, but neither of those appear to be the case.Quote:

Koufos is softer than I want. Mozgov's fine but as it is Denver's centers are projects.
Chris Andersen is probably the bet fit for a "physical 5" on that roster.Quote:
