    , we need size down low and Rasho knows the system. He was a throw in for O"Neal and would provide insurance if Ian needs another year's seasoning. Otherwise we will have to 'pay through the nose' to resign Thomas[35+] for two years. I expect to be kamikazid for even making the suggestion. I wish Splitter had signed but that being said, Rasho is a decent alternative if the Fakers offer Thomas too much. Subtract Bonner's contract + resigning Thomas then Rasho is a wash[?]. He is what he was! But he is certainly better than overpaying Thomas for 2 years. Rasho is a 7' ooter and Kurt[who I think is great for a minimum salary] isn't!

    The Spurs need more ooters, but I think the original Rasho trade was a "no backs" sort of deal.

    Interesting, but Spurs can`t afford it. Rasho is 8mln and Bonner is 3 mln. Sign Thomas for 5 mln ?? Kurt would be happy

    Of course, because it's a stupid suggestion.

    The most the Lakers can offer Thomas is the MLE (5.8 million), and you're worried that he'd 'cost too much', but your solution is to trade for a guy in Rasho who makes 8 million a year. And it wouldn't be a wash, because we'd have to take back equal salary from Indianapolis in any trade, so we'd still have 8 million in salaries on the friggin' books.

    Do you guys think any of these suggestions through, or just take a couple of bong hits and then log on?

    And that's not even getting into the fact Rasho is the softest seven footer in the league, while Thomas is a mean SOB...

    Marcus is right, Spurs fans are stupid.

    Slovenia lost their tournament so I am super bummed.

    I know the Spurs are not going to trade for Sho but pretending they might will help me feel better for the moment.
    So...

    Do it Spurs.

    When did Rasho ever understand the system to begin with?

    The reason it wouldn't be good to have Rasho back is the same reason it was good to get rid of Rasho. If he'd be willing to give up all that money he's getting I'd take him back in a second, but he isn't, and nobody blames him for that.

    the reason they got rid of him was he was useless when duncan played
    when he did not play he was usefully
    had nothing to do with money

    Rasho needs a trip to the Wizard of Oz first to get some brains, heart and courage. Plus he'd have to give up most of his salary...other than that, great idea!!

    The Pacers have no interest in taking on a contract longer than Rasho's, and anyway, Jim O'Brien really likes Rasho a lot. He intends for Rasho to compete for the starting center job and to mentor Hibbert this year.

    Unless something totally unexpected occurs, Rasho will go back to Europe after this coming season to end his basketball career there.

    As usual Aggie Fannie has lowered the level of discussion by using the work 'stupid' immediately. Actually, the proper term is 'mentally challenged'. Since some Aggie's can't get beyond 2 sillabulls--- I understand. The real question is how much should we offer Thomas to come back--- 8 mill or 10 mill for 2 years which is what he will demand. Fab/Kurt at center didn't make in the playoffs last season and therefore why would they work next season any better. Adding Hill and Mason, along with Thomas, isn't enough to get us back to the finals. Offer better suggestions or shut up.

    We don't have the MLE to offer Thomas--correct? How much can we offer him? Thomas will be 36 next season---is he worth a two year deal? If we unload Bonner[3 milll] & add Rasho for 8 mill but don't have to spend 4 or 5 mill on Thomas--isn't that close to a wash? According to Indy fan we could then dump Rasho's salary next season. The point is that will resigning Thomas for what HE wants get us past NO/Lakers next year? Forget Rasho we need another big to help Tim---espectially if Ian isn't ready[likely].

    The MLE doesn't apply to Thomas. The Spurs can offer him as much as they want. Why are you married to the idea that he's going to get a 2 year deal if nobody else is even talking to him? Also, why wouldn't he be able to play for two more years? It's not like he's going to lose a step. Dumping Rasho's salary is a great idea; thank God the Spurs did it years ago.

    Aggie's right. It's a stupid suggestion. Accept it and move on.
