There is not much else we can do. We need size and Rasho would be re-acclimated quickly.
We DID win a championship with Rasho...

It really depends, they use Rasho and Obie seems to like him, but if the doesn't start hibbert (hint: it's a good idea if they don't start hibbert), he's gonna get fired. Who knows. Rasho's been clutch with 20ft jumpers for the pacers this year (who knew?)
Rasho may be a stiff, but if he's bought out he's a more useful stiff than Joe Smith. At least Rasho would know the system and not have any learning curve.
Rasho could help Tim more than Oberto or Bonner.At least he can guard big man a few better
my thoughts exactly.he's still 7' tall right? and he's got 6 fouls a game? cool.
I haven't paid attention to what he is doing this year. But I used to watch him during warm-ups before games. He would stand and pump in those 20-footers like a freaking machine. More than once or twice he didn't miss a single one during warm-ups. But put a defender on him and he looked like a rabbit in the headlights. (Sort of like a deer in the headlights, but fluffier.)
For the longest time I held out hope that he would start hitting them in games. He would hit one or two, and I would think, "All right. He's gonna go off on them." But then again, I always hoped he was going to grab a ball at the rim and throw it back down, and then he would realize that he's really tall. Maybe he'd like it so much he'd start doing it all the time. Never happened.
He already started. He was on ESPN this morning yakking how it wasn't surprising that the Pacers couldn't find any takers for his expiring contract because he's basically a scrub.
F Screamin' A. Smith. Rasho has blocked his share of shots and CAN hit an open jumper. I'll take him for a seven-game series with the Fakers.
Rasho sounds a gamble worth taking right now.
And im saying that with my Slovenian homer glases off.
Yeah I heard him this morning!!
I must admit, Senor Spur I'm liking Rasho to come back to the Spurs.
He's 7 ft and can hit a jump shot and knows the system.
I can't believe I'm writing this though.....![]()
Rasho > Bonner
Rasho > Oberto
I'll welcome him back at this point.
Playing oberto more > bringing in Rasho or Moore
but Rasho on the cheap isnt the worst move they can make.
rasho would be better than nothing. nothing to lose here.
MarHill,
For a half season, I'll take him. I don't want another playoff series of watching Tim having to combat 2 7-footers on both ends of the court.
now that Pop knows what to expect out of him Rasho could work out great. A big problem with Rasho was that POp wanted a different set of skills than he had.
i went on looked on youtube for a rasho mix to remind myself how he played and look what i found:
who made this mix?![]()
If Rasho came back, who would he match up with on the Lakers? Would he defend Bynum while Tim covered Gasol, or vice-versa? Could he at least slow the bleeding (I get tired of watching 7 foot Bynum or Gasol simply shooting over 6'10' Bonner or Thomas)?
Rasho dunking...YEA BABY!!
Did he do the crab dribble on the last action?![]()

I am down. He still has a high percentage field goal. Knows the system. Still 7ft. Has looked decent when we play him. Would bring back memories to see him play with tim. Thomas and Rasho would be interesting.
I would welcome Rasho back as long as he just stood there, occupied space, played D, and dont take TOO many shots away from people who should be shooting. lol.
The more you think about it, whats the team need?
A big 7 footer who can block shots and be a "presence" down on the defensive end?
Rasho at least did that.
He may have had his short comings but he was probobly the best defensive center this team has had post David Robinson I say pull the trigger if he wants to come back.
