Trade Target: Andres Nocioni

[ss1986v2]

hes not nonathletic, but ive never thought he has the foot speed to hang at sf with your normal swing guys, nor does he have size to really hang with most pfs.

he hustles and plays tough defense, but he also jacks up some questionable shot, fouls at a pretty good rate, and looks like he has been breaking down over the last 2 or so years. all that plus his contract and id probably pass.

[Bruno]

Have you actually seen him play this season ???

Vinny de Negro Never gave him a shot,He Just used him as a spot up shooter,or PF at times. There was no play called for him, so He had to get his points on his own.
There's a big deference between sucking and not having your coach's support.

Nocioni was bad last year under Skiles. This year he is even worst under Del Negro.

And Nocioni best spot in the NBA is PF.

[Bruno]

STFU and just say you haven't seen him play lately.

Who do you think you are to tell me STFU ?

[NFGIII]

As Timvp stated this is a gamble. Some pay off and some don't. Health is the critical issue so I'm in between on this. Depends on what it would take to get him. Big 3, Mase and Hill are out of the question IMO. Anyone else could be considered but would that be enough for the Kings to pull the trigger? As stated so many times once you get pass the above players what do we really have to offer other teams? Not much IMO.

[Bruno]

and who are you BTW?

I someone who don't say STFU to someone that disagrees with me.

[NFGIII]

Oberto,Manu and Nocioni playing together would be great to see.

Damn if we only had that other guy.

What's his name?

[WalterBenitez]

Nocioni is like Manu version 2.....Damn passionate and aggressive.

Hot head at times but I know Spurs fans would love it.

Nocioni is as "dirty" as Bowen, and hard nose like Manu, sometimes could miss the ball like Boner.

It's a gamble, but I'd rather see the Spurs having to wait a year or two after Duncan hangs them up to get rid of some sorry contracts than concluding the Duncan era with a less than stellar supporting cast and a clean cap. Yeah, Nocioni has some wear and tear and his contract's long, but that has to be balanced with the fact that the clock is ticking on TD's time in SA and the Spurs don't necessarily have that many opportunities to improve themselves through trades, free agency and the draft that will yield impact players. Nocioni at 80% of what he used to be is still a damn good player to have in SA.

[Indazone]

This is the guy I want on my team. He has the rep of being one of the dirtiest players in the NBA. Just good hard nosed tough defense. Dude can score too. I want to see him with Scola.

Chapu to the celtics???????'

The Celtics and Kings are reportedly discussing a deal that would send Andres Nocioni to Boston.

Boston will likely have to part with a combination of Glen Davis, Brian Scalabrine, Patrick O'Bryant and the injured Tony Allen.

Nocioni has three guaranteed years worth more than $20 million left on his deal after this season.

[Spurs Brazil]

Nocioni remaining with Kings Despite interest from several teams, including the Boston Celtics, the Sacramento Kings decided to hold onto forward Andres Nocioni, an Eastern Conference official said.

The Kings acquired Nocioni in Wednesday’s trade with the Bulls.

Oh well.

what a great time to show your hate you ing bag

[kuato]

IMO, Noc is one of those players that plays a lot better if he was in a better team, a team that shares the ball, like the spurs.

----> Let me correct that , he plays a lot better if the team is not full of stupids and the coach is not an asshole. :P , Del Negro sucks.

[Ice009]

Any chance Nocioni demands a buyout?

How many years does he have left on his contract?

[mystargtr34]

Id love to see Noc deliver a hard crack across the forearms of a Gasol or even a Kobe in the playoffs.

Hitting 3's would just be a bonus

[EricB]

what a great time to show your hate you ing bag

Hate or truth?

The evidence is a bit on his side.

[DAF86]

I know it can't be done now but I just want to give my opinion on Nocioni.

He's overpaid for the role he'd play in the Spurs, he tries hard on defense but sometimes he makes stupid plays for trying so hard and he doesn't have the lateral movement to stay with the Kobes and Lebrons of this world. With all this said he'd be a much needed improvement over Finley, Udoka, and Bowen (at this point of Bruce's career) He can hit any shot, has a quick first step to the basket, has a good drible and is a great rebounder for a SF.

[wildbill2u]

Isn't there a cap on the number of players you can have from team Argentina?

Yes, it has a flat crown and a flat round brim, usually comes in black.

[wisnub]

i thought deadline is over..is it not????

[ducks]

Nocioni >>>>>>>>>>>>>> bonner

2 years ago
not now

[ducks]

He'd definitely be a roll of the dice. Healthy? Damn good piece.

But there's a good chance he doesn't survive to see the final couple years of his contract the way he's breaking down.

same could be said of another player by the name of manu
