Spurs deny that they are looking to unload Rasho Nesterovic

Rasho Nesterovic:

The Rasho Nesterovic, yet several teams have told inquiring media that they talked at least once this off season about deals involving Rasho at a deeply discounted “we’d like him off the roster” price. The Spurs say Rasho is part of their team and their plan going forward, but don’t be surprised if he’s dealt at the deadline, they shopped him aggressively last year. With 4 years and roughly $39 million left on his deal, the Spurs have their work cut out for them.

Not now, but they definently were before.

$39 mil?

Did Buddy Holly write that?

I thought it was more like 3 years and 30 million

lalalalala I'm not listening!

4 years...

and its hoopsworld...who cares.

And I'm sure if someone called asking for Rasho..the Spurs would listen with no hesitation.

I say we keep rasho and mohommad for the entire year. Then do a sign and trade with somebody with Nazr. We need both when we play Miami.

Atlanta needs someone to replace Collier........

if spurs want picks in return now is the perfect time to call the hawks

now would be a good time to try to trade rasho for HIGH LOTTERY DAFT Picks or something to get under the luxcury tax

They're gonna keep him for now for sure... He really can be an asset sometimes... :)

The Rasho trade talk occurred in July before the Spurs were allowed the chance to even approach the subject of a contract extension for Nazr. After August 1, when it became clear that Nazr wants way more than the Spurs want to give him, all the trade Rasho talk ended and it moved onto Brent Barry. All the recent trade talks, especially late August and September, were about moving Barry, not Rasho.

The Spurs typically don't like first round picks because the contracts are guaranteed, but there's no telling how bad Atlanta could be, so a lottery pick would be nice.

Atlanta just signed a new center, Zaza Pachulia, this summer to a four year deal, and they have no interest in Rasho anyway. Never did. Never have.

ZaZa is their starter, but Collier was their backup....he averaged like 13 minutes last year. They will have to find some way of replacing him.

Rasho for backup in Atlanta?

I don't trust this rumor.
I heard that the Spurs are shopping around bundle of Rasho, Beno, and Angel_Luv
(Angel_luv's salary is defined in the new CBA as NBA Groupie Minimum)

If they were trying to shop him, they wouldn't say anything. The CIA-ness has begun. :)

Your early most-likely-to-be-traded team includes: San Antonio's Rasho Nesterovic, Portland's Theo Ratliff and Atlanta's Al Harrington and Tony Delk.

and Rasho contract is $30M over 4 years.

Well, it depends on what you mean by "unload"....

The Spurs moved fan favorite Malik last year - they will move anyone to make the team better PERIOD, and a lot of teams need a big man - think Washington,the Bulls etc. that could use Rasho.

I tend to agree with samikeyp. I think if they wanted him gone they'd be queiter and start him, so they can display him. And I don't think they'll make a decision until they see how Fabri fits in. Because they don't want to be held over a barrel with Nazr in the end, and without a reliable center (and back up, I would think, but who knows) Nazr can demand whatever he wants, and his price tag is already pretty high. If he stays, one hopes it would be a satisfactory arrangement of $ for him without crippling us or giving him more than he's really worth. I mean, I'd think a championship worth staying for less money, but he may feel more money is worth it, since he's got a ring already.

Who knows? I don't expect anyone to be gone before the New Year, though.

The Bulls are going to go after Nazr next summer.

For now, the Spurs insist they aren't actively shopping Nesterovic.

He is only passing on what we all read in the newspaper.
