Nazr Mohammed turned down a four-year extension in the $25 million range

[ducks]

" ... The Spurs' Nazr Mohammed turned down a four-year extension in the $25 million range last summer because he wanted to wait until he was a free agent and could be eligible for a longer deal. Bad move. His minutes have dwindled this season because of the improvement Rasho Nesterovic. "I would by lying if I said I hadn't thought about it at all," Mohammed said.

6 million a year is all he is worth IMO

[timvp]

After the Malik Treatment, the Spurs can re-sign him for less than that this offseason.

[Kori Ellis]

I thought in the other newspaper Nazr denied that the Spurs offered anywhere close to that, saying that if they did he would have signed it.

I thought the Malik Treatment gets a player sent to another team.

If we're talking conspiracy, this would be an extreme instance of the Ginobili Treatment.

Poor Malik

The Malik Treatment refers to a player getting sporadic playing time; including DNP-CDs after games in which said player performed well and extended playing time during struggles. The goal of the treatment is different from player to player.

One day others will see the light.

Malik sucked during his last years in SA, he turned into a black hole on offense, and he was undersized on defense.

Ducks, that link doesn't work. Even if you are a member of that site.

Nazr sucked during his last year in SA, he turned into a black hole on offense, and he didn't rotate on defense.

Thanks for proving my point.

Nazr turned down a four-year extension prior to the season, believing he'd be able to get a six-year deal over the summer. But with his playing time having been cut drastically and with Nesterovic becoming a much steadier player, Mohammed's value has plummeted this season. He said it was untrue that he'd turned down a four-year extension worth $28 million, saying the Spurs offer was not that high. "Let me put it this way. If they'd have offered that, I would have taken it," he said.

So, $28M would have been awesome to him, but he turned down $25M according to this new article??

Whatever gets Soft Rasho out of the game works for me.

I found the correct link:

I'm not sure if they have their facts straight.

But I guess the bottomline is that they gave him a 4-year offer (who knows how much) and he turned it down because he wanted a 6-year deal. Good luck to him.

Yeah, I don't think the Spurs offered Nazr $25M. An expiring contract for a decent bigman has good trade value. Plus, the Spurs wouldn't lock up Mohammed with Rasho still on the books.

[ducks]

why would nazr want a low 6 year year deal
I would have thought he would want 4 years then get one more decent contract
in 4 years the mle might be 6 or 7 million a year


4 years for 25 million is better then 6 years for 28 million

[ducks]

I also thought there was a ludden article saying that spurs wanted to make a deal but nazr wanted to table the talks tell he was a fa

There's also Oberto and around the corner, Scola.

[ducks]

scola has said he wants the mle atleast as a rookie in the nba that is alot


then there is that buyout problem

[ducks]

yeah here is the ludden article

[midgetonadonkey]

Some stupid ass GM will offer him a 5 year 50 million dollar contract in the offseason.

[Bruno]

People should carefull towards this newspaper. It says a lot of rumors and some of them seems to be false. It's the same thing that with Peter Vescey(New York Post) and Sam Smith(Chicago Tribune).

Nazr will likely receive full MLE offers this summer ($30-32M/5 years) just because he is a serviceable center.
I'm quite sure Nazr won't be a Spurs next season and maybe even after the trade deadline.

[Kori Ellis]

yeah here is the ludden article

Yeah I know about the Ludden article. But he denied it after that came out when he was asked about it.

He said it was untrue that he'd turned down a four-year extension worth $28 million, saying the Spurs offer was not that high. "Let me put it this way. If they'd have offered that, I would have taken it," he said.

There's also Oberto and around the corner, Scola.

Luis Scola will never be a Spur.

Book it.

[T Park]

including DNP-CDs after games in which said player performed well and extended playing time during struggles.

he has been playing well lately and getting more PT.

So I guess that shoots down that black helicopter.

And what was the goal with Malik : Lower his trade value to have to give up 2 first round pick instead of one?
