    Why would the Pacers buy him out? How much would it save them at this point?

    Rasho is a good addition for a role player..I don't know why people are against him..

    he's pretty much a bigger version of Kurt Thomas..

    most important of all, he's a 7-footer..he brings us size, and he can take other bigs outside of the paint..

    signing Rasho wouldn't be a bad thing at all, I would consider it to be a solid move, and would make up for not making a move at the deadline..

    Because the Spurs had another guy with size who was a better rebounder and offensive player. That guy was 6'10" and went about 265. Nazr Mohammed.

    Right now, the Spurs dont have that.

    Plus, Rasho @ $42 M was always going to be a failure, hes not that caliber player. For the minimum, there isnt a better option at this point.
    Rasho will not get the spurs past the Lakers.

    Rasho is actually a very good big to have vs. LA..he's big, and he can take one of their bigs outside of the paint..

    So your suggestion is to sit and as always.

    Usually the buyout is slightly lower than the amount owed the player -- something like the prorated minimum for that player should he be signed again.

    And Matt Bonner/Kurt Thomas/Oberto will?

    Unless Kurt Thomas isnt finished growing yet, the Spurs need a 7 Footer. Like Sequ once said, not 6'10", not 6'11", 7 ing Feet.

    No trade for an impact player then no championship. Rasho will not be a difference maker. And who says he is comomg to the Spurs anyways.

    Pop did not even want to play him much in the playoffs in his last year.

    He may be 7' but he can't jump.

    Rasho will not be enough of a difference maker to get past the Lakers.

    I dont think we can expect a buyout if Jeff Fosters back continues to play up. Hes missed the last few games i think. Roy Hibbert is the only other real C on the roster. Although Murphy could play there.

    well Indiana has a slim chance of making the playoffs at this point..they're already behind, and Chicago-New York have improved their chances for the 8th seed..they might as well start playing Hibbert, since he's the future..

    No - I'm meaning, why are we expecting Indiana to buy him out? Simple question -- has this been stated anywhere, or just ST speculation?

    Adding a role player won't get you past the Lakers.

    That didnt stop him from averging two blocks a game for most of his career. There still isnt one guy in the league who defends Yao Ming better either. He has size, and good length.

    You cant put 6'9" guys on 7'1" guys with good post games, ala Bynum and Gasol, and expect to have any sort of success. Right now, whats the Spurs biggest problem? Protecting the paint when Duncan sits, and defending opposing big men.

    Rasho can limit those problems, Kurt Thomas, Matt Bonner and Oberto cant.

    We got rid of him once for a reason. Pop always had to light a fire under his ass to get him going. We're bottom feeding now-but , I'll take Rasho if that's all we can do. It's gonna be a long playoff season...

    Again, the Lakers biggest advantage over the Spurs, or against any team for that matter, is their size. Rasho and Duncan together in spurts against Bynum and Pau, their size advantage is negated. I dont see how you can argue against this. It may not be the difference in the series, the point is it increases out chances or stopping them.

    WTF did you want them to do?

    Put a gun to the Clippers and Piston's heads and FORCE a ing trade?
    How about shopping for this need in the offseason for starters...... wasn't as if we didn't know about this need before the season started. , for the past couple of seasons for that matter.

    The FO is always looking for bargain basement and now they've got a bench full of ing corpses.

    I guess Rasho is a good fit then......
