Thats pretty much what I figured. But I thought some people were hinting at it being a realistic goal. I would have thought otherwise.
More than we can afford.

Unless the Nets want Bonner & JV, I don't see how we can get him in a S&T...the Nets extended him a qualifying offer of $2.7 mil. so that is out of our reach using the TE or the LLE...If they dont get anything interesting for Kristic, I'm pretty sure they will have him on their bench.
And the Nets aren't too near the tax threshold as far as I can see. If he's in their long term plans, they can afford him.
yup. they have a glut of young big men right now (sean williams, josh boone, yi jillian, nenad kristic, brook lopez), but if kristic continues to get back from his injury, he may be the best of that bunch.
unless he plays out the QO, i still think they try and move kristic though. i dont think we have any chance of landing him, but with him due a new contract, and the nets desperate to cut payroll for 2010, i dont see them giving him the contract he would want. but they still value him, and arent going to give him away for peanuts.
Sean Williams defense next to Duncan would be something to watch, but I just don't see anyway it happens. Williams is 21 and cheap, and the Spurs have nothing of significance to offer outside of Mahinmi.
nad or nacbar would be fine additions.
I like Nachbar, he's got a lot of tools, he can run, jump, shoot and I think he's pretty coachable and an exciting player. He was a lot better two seasons ago, but I wouldn't mind the Spurs giving him a shot at all.
lol@everybody calling him a wuss ... you guys have obviously never seen him play.
Love him but would hate him on the Spurs. Pop seems to find the way to destroy every slovenian's game.
I saw Boki like 3 weeks ago on Slovenian sea. And the guy really needs to go back to the gym... He was looking fat. But if we can get him lets sign him. I gues we need some SF in our team. He also played PF for the Nets, but that sucked. Now it looks like he's got no chance to play 22 minutes for the Nets next year, cause of the new guys there, so if we don't get someone better, get him.
I can't really speak about Nachbar, because he hasn't been a Spur, but the two Slovenian players we've had so far have been absolute wusses. If you can't take a coach getting in your face because your effort and intesity are for , then you don't belong on a championship contender like the Spurs, and you should possibly go ply your trade in an NBA backwater like Sacto or Toronto where the expectations are somewhat lower.
Nachbar has my support forever for when he stood up to Karl Malone. He's the only NBA player who I know who retaliated against Malone for one of his cheap shots.
He has a tendency to get fat over the summer and he doesn't enjoy playing defense so he's not a perfect fit. But he's far from a pushover.
I'm still for waiting a few more weeks until we can see what side is up with the rookies and other free agents. But Nachbar on a 2 year, 3.8 million dollar deal sounds about right. He's long, could play better defense is pushed, and would shoot close to 40% from 3 off of Tim Duncan. In the end, I might prefer a Wilson Chandler to develop in Austin, but as a 3rd 3, Nachbar would do.
Sean Williams!
Check this video out... dunking on Tim Duncan:

So, can hit the 3 with accuracy and can slam when open. That's a pretty decent player for the 3 spot.
I'm sick and tired of guys like Diaw and Harpring posting up our smaller small forwards!
Tell me this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-3wX...eature=related
is soft when it comes to playoff basketball??!
I'd rather not take anything than .... cuz that's what Nachbar is...
Btw those videos just show the skill or Brent Barry at what? Forward? no thanks...
besides he can't pass and he's a weak.. you're going to need more videos from different dates so you can tell us this guy is legit... seriously I'd choose Gist over him.
Let's check the current depth charts:
STARTERS KEY BENCH MORE BENCH
PG Tony Parker George Hill Jacque Vaughn
SG Manu Ginobili Roger Mason Jr. Malik Hairston
SF Bruce Bowen Ime Udoka James Gist
PF Tim Duncan Matt Bonner
C Fabricio Oberto Ian Mahinmi
The problem with this lineup is the SF is too short. Bruce at 6-6, Udoka a 6-5 and Gist at 6-7.
Further, if we get Kurt Thomas, we'll have no money left for the SF position.
My preference then would be:
STARTERS KEY BENCH MORE BENCH
PG Tony Parker George Hill Jacque Vaughn (waive, or sign as assistant coach)
SG Manu Ginobili Roger Mason Jr. Malik Hairston (league minimum)
SF Bruce Bowen Ime Udoka Boki Nachbar James Gist (league minimum)
PF Tim Duncan Robert Horry (sign, vet minimum) Matt Bonner (?!)
C Fabricio Oberto Ian Mahinmi
Better yet, we do a 3 team trade with say Raptors and Nets, sending Nachbar to Spurs, Vaughn to Nets and Bonner back to Raptors.
What do New Jersey and Toronto get out of that?
Explain how Rasho was a wuss. If anything he listened to Pop too much (then again if he didn't, you would probably be calling him stupid right now).
Boki is OK and the Malone incident was a thing of beauty - I've never seen Malone so pissed off. Malone went out of his way to spin the whole incident during his interviews, he just couldn't believe somebody would stand up to him.
As for Nachbar in San Antonio? I like his offensive game but hate his defense - so make up your own minds.
Do you think Boki is stuck in his defense ways or that he could learn and succeed under Pop's system?
Boki was not a good defender and never will be. But he is good shooter and slasher and plays with A LOT of heart.
I think your manager is going to be upset you're not providing quality customer care.
KT MUST be signed. With Mahinmi coming in, we need he and Oberto around to provide some veteran frontcourt presence.
For the fifth and sixth bigs, trade them Bonner for Krstic (signed for 2.7mil) or S+Ted Williams, and give Nachbar the LLE to play the Bonner role.
